21st May should not be observed as the death anniversary of the Indian
National Congress leader and former Prime Minister of India Shri Rajiv
Gandhi; it should be celebrated for a remarkable and decorated life of a
charismatic visionary,
Rajiv Gandhi.
I have decided to leave these two decades of mourning behind, and look
at the future with the ideologies of a great soul that lived among us a
few years back. He too had a dream; “… a dream of an India, strong,
independent, self reliant and in the forefront of the front ranks of the
nations of the world in the service of mankind…”
The contribution of Shri Rajiv Gandhi as a leader of the nation and as a
dynamic politician for his party is a never ending list. He was a man
who stood against all odds and made his presence notable. Starting-off
as a commercial pilot, he had a lucrative career with ample money and
leisure time. He could have ended his career with the same chutzpah; but
that was not what his destiny wanted. He held the reigns of Indian
National Congress after his mother, Smt. Indira Gandhi’s assassination,
and was nominated to become the youngest Prime Minister in the history
of Independent India. He also led his party to an unmatchable victory in
the following general elections winning 411 out of 542 seats.
