We have to learn a lot from the life of Gandhiji. For all the abuse he had from hindus for trying to bring the waring muslims and hindus together, he did not stop.He conitnuted to go ahead as it was his cherished dream not to divide India and work towards religious harmony. Ultimately he paid the price for this efforts.People who abuse others are a frusturated lot. Regards.

Abusers are powerless unless we take notice of them and respond. It is our very acknowledging of them that gives them the power that they seek. Gandhiji was right when he invented Satyagraha. People normally know how to react to a reaction, but don't know what to do to a "non-reaction". The entire British Empire could never figure out what satyagraha was, till the end. So, my feeling is that we let the sleeping dogs (in this case, barking dogs) be, and get on with out work. Ignore the abuses, cherish the good feedback and carry on.<BR/><BR/>ayesha parveen - kolkata on 10/10/2008 6:56:15 AM<BR/>Dr. Vaidyanathan, thank you for your comment. How well you have said, "we let the sleeping dogs (in this case, barking dogs) be, and get on with out work. Ignore the abuses, cherish the good feedback and carry on." However, sometimes it does become necessary to protest.

If our opinions differ from someone’s, we can criticize his point of view, but should never make a personal attack", I saw many people criticize for the sake of criticising.Good article AyeshaAyesha Parveenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09218100056258179715noreply@blogger.com
