Do you know that in 1982, there was a man named Gore, in Mumbai, who continued #Gandhiji’s “Indian Opinion” movement?

Gandhiji believed in taking into confidence two types of people while pursuing any movement.

One type of people were ordinary people. Second type of people were “Important People in Important Places”. These people remained invisible but they tried to help Gandhiji without being seen.

Gandhiji published “Indian Opinion” in South Africa and its copies were sent to important people all over world, and more particularly in India.

In 1982, I saw a small four page weekly, called “Opinion” in District Library.

It’s annual subscription was only Rs.2/- per year.

On each issue postal stamp was of 5 paise only then.

It’s sole editor, printer, publisher was a man named “Gore” as per my memory.

His language was similar to that of Gandhiji. He wrote from his heart on current topics of India.

I had subscribed to it. And I read it every week.

A postman used to deliver “Opinion” to my home for only a 5 paise postal stamp.

Then this man died. His son continued to publish it.

He then increased subscription from Rs.2/- to Rs.5/- per year. I continued to subscribe. But the spirit was gone. The language now looked less heart-touching.

After few years, I lost its track.

I am not sure who in India is continuing this method of Gandhiji at present.

……Yesterday, I heard that a 17year old girl drank bottle of mosquito repellent liquid….

Now Try to See Legal and Social Consequences to her future husband and future in-Laws :-

1) Since attempt to suicide is now not considered offense, parents could get immediate treatment in hospital. The girl recovered fast. The episode ended peacefully.

2) The girl has history of being stubborn, too much demanding, mood disorders, and desires to control parents with threat to commit suicide if her wishes are not met.

3) The parents will probably hide such history from future would be husband and in laws.

4) In future, if such incident happen at her matrimonial home, her husband and in laws may probably have to see jail.

🌼 Now the constructive suggestion :

If Law is truly an instrument of social engineering, Law should ensure that pre-marriage psychological behaviour of a girl is also given due weightage while considering guilt of her husband and in-laws.

From cases, I have seen entire families going to jail due to suicide of a wife who had some borderline personality disorder.
