I wonder whether people really know that Mahatma Gandhi was the force behind Swachh Bharat (Quit India, Clean India). Many people were present when our PM Narender Modi was sharing his speech where he said that he wish to give a present of Clean India to Gandhiji.
There were photo ops of our Prime Minister and celebrities who too gave their hand for this initiative but now it seems that it was just for that day. Well, it was PM's duty and he did his part by calling it nation's duty.
Sweeping public places is a very wearisome work. I remember that we were asked by our college that we have to clean our nearby area and at the end I was like it's a very tedious business, how do the daily workers manage?
Gandhiji took up the work of destroying untouchability and insanitation but these evil towers are still present. Gandhiji himself used to carry brooms and cleaned the public latrines himself. From school books to articles I read that Gandhiji carried the pots on his head to far fields and buried the contents underground. It was when Scavengers and low caste people had to go to the houses of higher caste families where they cleaned and collect the pots. I think with this he would have won hearts of many and would made some ashamed of themselves.
When Gandhiji was in Delhi he would stay in Sweepers colony (Valmiki Colony) and this where Shri. Narender Modi started his first sweep for Swachh Bharat.
Though Gandhiji is not here but he would be watching us through that spectacle which has been designed and kept as logo for this cleanliness drive.
