Gandhism - Alive and Kicking in Modern India

Purists and so-called "Gandhi-ians" crib that modern India has forgotten Gandhi and Gandhi-ism is a lost cause in Mahatma's own country. I beg to disagree!!Just drive through the roads of Bangalore on a week-day (preferably peak hours) and you would find the Civil Disobedience Movement(Jumping Red Lights, Breaking One-Way rules,Jay Walking, Ignoring the No-U Turn sign et-al!!) and the Non Co-operation Movement(Overtaking from the left, sticking to the leftmost lane to turn right, not allowing anyone to overtake!!) being practised by all and sundry!! Long Live Gandhi-ism!!
