Gandhism (गांधीवाद) Marathi Poem

Gandhism

Gandhiji wore loincloth of Khadi
We patronise marketed Khadi
That’s our limit of Gandhism –
Don’t shed crocodile’s tears.

(Dedicated to Democratic India, where Gandhiji appears only on the currency. His concept of Panchayati Raj - Rule by the Village - has remained only as concept, to be used in the scholarly discourses.)

गांधीवाद

गांधीजी पंचा नेसत होते.
आम्ही बाजारू खादी नेसतो.
ही आमची गांधीवादाची मर्यादा --
नक्राश्रू ढाळू नकोस.
