A tribute to Gandhiji
Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation, is internationally esteemed for his doctrine of nonviolent protest to achieve political and social progress.
On the same day, as he walked up the four steps leading to the prayer mandap, a young man, aged about 35, came in front of Gandhiji and offered pranam by bending his body. And just at that moment, the young man pulled out his revolver and rang out three shots from point-blank range just below the heart and stomach at 5-12 p.m. on January 30th and he died fifteen minutes later.
The struggle in South Africa has been more than seven years. It had its ups and downs, but under Gandhiji’s leadership, the small Indian minority kept up its resistance against heavy obstacles. Hundreds of Indians preferred to sacrifice their livelihood and liberty rather than submit their conscience and self-respect.
Gandhiji was the dominant figure on the political stage, commanding an influence never before attained by any political leader in India or perhaps in any other country. Gandhiji’s opinion was very simple that it was not British guns but imperfections of Indians themselves that kept their country in bondage.
Mahatma Gandhi had critics in his own country. It was one of the greatest disappointments of Gandhi’s life that Indian freedom was realized without Indian unity.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.
In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).
The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.
The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.
Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.
In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.
The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
