Dear Gitasiva,
I understand that you, being from India, are upset, because another member wrote a worksheet on Mahatma Gandhi and added a Pandit Nehru �s pic.
However, consider these points:
1. If someone chooses Mahatma Gandhi for a theme, it must be because he/she thinks this is a person worth referring to, in a ESL material;
2. Some teachers are so young that they are referring to people/facts/events which happened long before their lifetime;
3. Both of them, Mahatma Gandhi & Pandit Nehru were friends and comrades in ideas and deeds;
4. Being not from India, a person could have taken one person for another;
5. This is no reason for humiliating this colleague on the board;
6. So far, so long, I guess that, making a wk on Mahatma Gandhi configures to and informs about his ideals; humiliating somedody doesn �t sound like honouring MG or PN;
7. If you consider this site prestigious, maybe you could also consider expressing yourself up to its standards;
8. Having asked other members to comment, I truly believe that you will appreciate mine, too; however, if you don�t, I ask you to think it over;
9. If you do and you decide you have to take another step, please do. Believe me, you won�t loose your face for apologizing; on the contrary, I guess, you will show that you have truly understood MG´s� essential message.
This is just a thought that I bring to you to consider.
Mahatma Gandhi will always be an example for people who really have peace in their hearts. These people, being ESL teachers, will choose him as an example for the children of the world.
