Durban’s Red Light Area is named after Gandhi

Gandhi honored before 1948. Gandhi killed in 1948. Who are dishonoring Gandhi after 1948.Does Gandhi @prostitute point irks Gandhis? Durban’s Red Light Area is named after Gandhi. No Protest by UPA How many times did Sonia call the name of her father in law? How many times did Rahul call the name of his grand father?

On March 10, 2005 Indian Express published a news titled “ Gandhi @prostitute point irks NRIs” But Gandhis of 10 Janpath overlooked intentionally this news as they and their UPA government hided the facts of Quattrocchi’s arrest in Argentina. PM Manmohan Singh visited South Africa in the last year but he did not protest the naming of Durban ’s red light area after Gandhi.

So many types of Gandhis
These are neither the fault of Gandhis of 10 Janpath nor Manmohan Singh because they could not know which Gandhi was being referred. There are good Gandhis, bad Gandhis and notorious Gandhis. There were Gandhis in Hindus and Muslims and perhaps in Pasis. Some said Feroze Gandhi was Parsi and some says he was Muslim. There are Gandhis in BJP as sell as Congress and other parties. Pradip Gandhi was MP of BJP. He took bribery for asking questions in the parliament.

African National Congress allias Indian National Congress
As reported by dailynews.co.za/ and Indian newspapers on Feb 28: African National Congresscouncillors are expected to rubber-stamp the massive street and building renaming campaign at a full council meeting. There are also mixed views about renaming Point Road, long associated with sleaze and vice, after passive resistance leader Mahatma Gandhi.

The Point Road in the centre of Durban, known as a prostitution hub, will be renamed after Gandhi within three months by the government.
Political activist Fatima Meer said changing Point Road to Mahatma Gandhi was "nonsense" and dishonoured the name of a great man. But Satish Dhupelia, Gandhi's great-grandson, said he welcomed the name changing.

Outspoken Tony Patel, owner of a business in Point Road, said he would not abide by the name change under any circumstances and couldn't understand why the municipality was insisting on "putting an Indian name in town". "Why replace a simple name with a name that belongs in Chatsworth or Phoenix," he said. "I will not change the name in any of my business cards and letterheads."

Business has been particularly critical. Manilal Patel, owner of Patel's Vegetarian Lounge, said they had been in Grey Street for 65 years. "This name change is not a good idea. Everyone is used to Grey Street and it has historical value," he said. "Changing the names is just going to cause confusion."

The other dignitary to be honored is Dr Yusuf Dadoo, who was leader of the South African Indian Congress at one time. It was decided that the Grey Street and Broad Street will be named after Dadoo. Grey Street , once famous as "Little India", has now degenerated into a crime-ridden area after most of the Indians and businesses moved out from the place to suburbs and other upmarket areas.
Ashwin Desai, a local activist and academic said: "Its high-time we changed the colonial and Apartheid features of the city and I fully support the move. But I have a problem when Gandhi's name is used for the Point Road area. Gandhi practised as a lawyer in West Street and if anything, I think the main street should have been named after Gandhi."

The leader of the Indian Minority Front party, Amichand Rajbansi, who is a minister in the Kwazulu-Natal provincial government, said he was also opposed to Gandhi's name being used for the Point Road area.

They should have renamed the whole city 'GandhiCity' instead of electing to abuse his name on a street prominent for everything that Gandhi would have opposed” said protesting angry Indian origins of South Africa. They on’t think Ghandi would like his name to be synonymous with hookers and crack addicts

But reacting to the complaints, deputy mayor Logie Naidoo said "the re-naming of the nine streets has been done after a great deal of thought and research." " Point Road was re-named after Mahatma Gandhi because it was in this area that the first Indians who came from India had set foot on South African soil and settled. I don't think people should see anything untoward in this re-naming," said Naidoo.

But Ela Gandhi, a grand-daughter of the Mahatma and former member of parliament for the ruling African National Congress, was more cautious in her reaction. She said there was no cause for concern. "Gandhi would have settled in Point Road to change people's immoral ways. My only concern is that he should have been given one of the more important roads, given his contribution to the non-violent movement in South Africa ," she said.
"I know a lot of people will have problems with this decision, but I am delighted," Ela Gandhi added.

History of dishonoring Gandhi in India
In last time of his life Mahatma imagined the misuse of ‘Congress’ name after his death. Gandhi’s last wish was to abolish the ‘Congress’. Even last wish of hanging accused is heard but last wish of Gandhi was not fulfilled and Congress became the property of Nehru-Gandhi dynasty. Their ‘Gandhi-Jap’ is for getting votes. They are dishonoring late Gandhi and killing Gandhism to call themselves Mahatma Gandhi and Congress of Pre-independence to overlook other.

Gandhis should read Mahatma Gandhi
In Sept 2003, the court ordered Mr Ranganathan to buy Mahatma Gandhi's autobiography, My Experiment with the Truth. Read it.. & prove it The judge ordered Mr Rang Nathan a senior opposition member from the city of Chennai, must familiarize himself with the great pacifist's writings, so that he could reform himself and serve his constituents more effectively. Mr Ranganathan has been accused of threatening another person in a land dispute. Ranganathan told the court he had finished reading the first 56 pages of the 560-page autobiography. Why not such order to present Gandhis?

All Must Heed Gandhi except Congress
In accident person forgot about himself. But our case is not this. We are Indians we want to forget our history. We gave ‘bBharat Ratn’ to Teresa and ‘Padmshree’ to Glady Staines whose job is only to convert tribal into Christianity. “Jagat Guru” is inventing beyond seven wonders personalities.

Century of Gandhi’s Satyagrah in Africa
The 88-year-old anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela joined top leaders, nobel laureates and elder statesmen on Jan 9, 2007 was addressed a conference, through a satellite link from South Africa, to mark the centenary of Gandhi’s ’satyagraha’ or non-violent movement which began in Johannesburg on Sept 11, 1906, where Gandhi was practising law. Gandhi lived in South Africa from 1893 to 1914, where he was an active and high profile political activist. Referring to him as ‘the sacred warrior’, Mandela said the Mahatma combined ethics and morality with a steely resolve that refused to compromise with the oppressor, the British Empire . UPA Government was shy to request Mandela that the Point Road of Durban (S.Africa) should not be named after Gandhi.

Feb 2, 2007 : South Africa : Tutu Receives Gandhi Peace Prize Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu has dedicated receiving India 's highest international honour, the Gandhi Peace Prize, to "the people of South Africa , to the freedom of Darfur and to Aung San Suu Kyi", the Burmese leader held under house arrest.
The honour was conferred on the Nobel Peace Prize laureate by Indian President Abdul Kalam at a ceremony in New Delhi yesterday

Hailing Tutu as a "living Gandhian", Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said there was no better ex-ample of practising the Mahatma's principles than the reconciliation effort in post-apartheid South Africa .

"I say that Bishop Tutu is a living Gandhian because there has been no greater example of the practice of Gandhiji's principles than the reconciliation effort in post-apartheid South Africa ," the prime minister said. PM and Super PM could not dare to say for not naming the red light area of Durban after Gandhi. BJP is communal as published in the school books of West Bengal , ruled by comrades. They are atheists. They have no god. They are looking always towards the greater country than India and which may be China or Russia . We all know who are their godfathers.
