Non-violence was quite the buzzword during the recent Jan Lokpal Bill movement led by anti-graft crusader, Anna Hazare. Interestingly, it had an echo in the most unlikely places.
Well-known industrialist Abhay Firodia was invited to inaugurate the new auditorium, named after his grandfather, Kundanmal Firodia, at the Deccan Education Society. He waited patiently for a pair of scissors that was needed to cut the ceremonial ribbon.
As it could not be arranged, the organisers requested the businessman to just untie the knot on the ribbon, to which Firodia said, “Great, this is a nice, non-violent method to inaugurate an event!”
What do you think?
Is Non-violence is best policy ?
