With name of Gandhi, we envision a bald personality covering his body with a piece of white clothe which is not eligible to cover that entire body properly, having a circular glass on his nose and the frame of the glass is just equivalent to the body structure of that personality and a stick to support that thin and slim body. Till yet, have you identified that astonishing personality……Yes! You got it! The person is none other than Mr. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, well known as Mahatma Gandhi. With this common looking personality, he was the person having uncommon traits.
Mahatma Gandhi, with awesome daring attitude inbuilt in his heart and intellect which has been proved through his effort not only for India but also the incredible exertion done by him in South Africa. And he was the solitary man who made the word “Gandhi” so powerful that in 1940s it placed whole India into the path of sovereignty. To express the supremacy of the sound “Gandhi” in that point in time will be extremely difficult for anyone. And from that epoch till now the magic and the supremacy of word “Gandhi” is on the rise and growing up as the time is passing out and also creating the center of attention for any person of any arena and of any age group. It’s a… Brand today! “For an ordinary product it is a brand which makes it extraordinary and produces it power.” Come on lets, illustrate how the name “Gandhi” producing power.

Recently, the chairman of Kingfisher Mr. Vijay Malaya has been treated as national hero because he was the person who fetches those ornaments of Gandhi to India from a foreign country by giving them tons of money. This is the power of “Gandhi” which has made simple belongings so expensive and can formulate a person into a hero.

The sector which has used the name “Gandhi” widely than any other sector is none other than the politics. Unfortunately every politician of India represents themselves as the actual representative and the followers of Mahatma Gandhi.
