Will the first 100 voters make it a million?

Gandhiji is not passe! That human storm in the Middle East required risking physical harm.  This is a mere call to hold hands in cyberspace.  Bring in your family, friends and collegues.  Let us salute the South Africans who participated with their feet and their voices. Member of the Lions Club-send the URL  http://freedomwalk-aziz.blogspot.com/  member of any other: Rotary, Tablers, Brother Masons, Sarvodaya Mandal, School clubs whatever Adopt this cause, make it yours!

Gandhigiri!

Maintaining a link with an ancestral village-Morba- and contributing to its economy and welfare take a special kind of individual.  There are those South Africans who remain connected and this is what is amazing!  This is Gandhigiri too!

What is so Special About South African Indians?

DID YOU KNOW?


 
·        In 1860, 330 South Indians bit the bullet and embarked on a voyage over Kalapani.  They had heard of fields of gold and riches awaiting them at the end of the Rainbow in South Africa.   While some wanted to escape the caste system, others wanted to escape the establishment-remember the Brits had tightened their clutches after the 1857 Sepoy Mutiny.  There may have been many other reasons - one thing for sure they left India in the quest for a better life.


Thank You!
