• GivingTuesday India In exactly 3 months from now, we will be celebrating the 150th birth anniversary of Gandhi ji! Continuing our Gandhi stories... Read this one on why Gandhiji would not wear a kurta. Children loved visiting Gandhiji. A little boy who was there one day, was greatly distressed to see the way Gandhiji was dressed. Such a great man yet he doesn't even wear a shirt, he wondered. "Why don't you wear a kurta, Gandhi?" the little boy couldn't help asking finally. "Where's the money, son?" Gandhi asked gently. "I am very poor. I can't afford a kurta." The boy's heart was filled with pity. "My mother sews well", he said. "She makes all my clothes. I'll ask her to sew a Kurta for you." "How many Kurtas can your mother make?" Gandhiji asked. "How many do you need?" asked the boy. "One, two, three.... she'll make as many as you want." Gandhiji thought for a moment. Then he said, "But I am not alone, son. It wouldn't be right for me to be the only one to wear a kurta." "How many Kurtas do you need?" the boy persisted. "I'll ask my mother to make as many as you want. Just tell me how many you need." "I have a very large family, son. I have forty crore brothers and sisters," Gandhiji explained. "Till every one of them has a kurta, how can I wear one? Tell me, can your mother make kurtas for all of them? At this question the boy became very thoughtful. Forty crore brothers and sisters! Gandhiji was right. Till every one of them had a kurta to wear how could he wear one himself? After all the whole nation was Gandhi's family, and he was the Bapu, head of that family. He was their friend, their companion. What use would one kurta be to him? #GandhiStories #GandhiKatha #Gandhi150 #GivingTuesdayIndia 150 years of celebrating the Mahatma 2 weeks 22 hours ago.
