What most people get wrong about Mahatma Gandhi | Ramachandra Guha |Arguments with Gandhi
Historian and author Ramachandra Guha discusses his latest book, Arguments with Gandhi, and explores the enduring relevance of Mahatma Gandhis ideas in the modern world. Drawing from decades of research, Guha reflects on Gandhi as a political leader, social reformer, religious pluralist and global thinker. In this conversation, Guha examines Gandhis debates with figures such as B.R. Ambedkar, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, Jawaharlal Nehru and Bhagat Singh, while also discussing the influence of Gandhi on leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela. He explains how Gandhis ideas on non-violence, justice, faith, caste, gender and development evolved over time and why they continue to shape contemporary political and social discourse. The conversation also explores Gandhis strengths, blind spots, openness to criticism and the arguments that continue around his legacy more than seven decades after his death.
Show empathy towards poor: Apni Party on power disconnections
Srinagar, Oct 07: Former Cabinet Minister and Apni Party Senior Vice President Ghulam Hassan Mir has criticised the government over abrupt power disconnections against consumers with outstanding electricity bills, particularly those from economically weaker sections. Mir in a statement, said recovery of electricity dues was justified and necessary, but argued that financially vulnerable consumers should not be pushed into hardship by disconnecting their power supply and insisting on payment of the entire outstanding amount at once. He described the approach as a hard-capitalist policy and urged the government to adopt a more humane approach towards people facing genuine financial difficulties. Mir said electricity was an essential service and warned that sudden disconnections could adversely affect students preparing for examinations as well as families having patients dependent on electricity-powered medical equipment such as oxygen concentrators. He maintained that consumers who can afford to pay but deliberately evade their bills should be dealt with according to law. However, those genuinely unable to clear their dues in one go should be provided an option to pay in installments. Mir urged the government to show empathy and sensitivity towards financially distressed consumers, saying a welfare government should focus on the well-being of people rather than adopting a purely commercial approach.
