The word Gandhigiri had a huge impact on India last year, the word being coined from the film 'Laga Raho Munnabhai'. The movie was an instant success , become popular all over. The Indian media had also played a part in the movie's success. The role of the media in contempary India is huge, but will discuss it later.
On coming on Bapuji's subject as he is affectionately called , a controversy was sparked recently because of an offensive video done by an Indian living in U.S.It shows Gandhi in bad manner , although i have just read it from reports,and have not seen it.He is shown as a person firing Ak-47 rifle , showing knives to the people, flirting and doing vulgar dance etc. I couldnt believe that an Indian was behind in making this video.
But that's how India is, unity among people is less in social and political issues , unlike , most other countries where a larger to life figure is respected and reverred amongst their people.
Well , i also have seen another video of Gandhi , from an italian communication company , which shows the importance of Mahatma.This ad also won the EPICA awards for the best ad.
