In
20th Century, 100 years has elapsed with two remarkable political
silences that cried out for human freedom. The first one was
from India where as Gandhi a lawyer by profession and Martin
Luther King from the United States and both of them have created
a monumental human international movement.
They
both advocated what the famous writer Fanon called or rather
labeled about these human creatures namely the wretch of the
earth. Power animating from silence has a meaning in percussion
for time to come. At the same time silence animating from
power does have its lingering historical impact. Moreover
the beholder of power and its silence is a beholder of the
eko of a human calling for the meaningful aspect of a human
existence. The given two exemplary of this article here do
reflect on this aspect of power through silence, in a sense
the past at that time throughout his peaceful mean.
They two had a uniting, international and local factor that
over ceased all the factors concerned here.
However
there is no imperatively to be emphasized here that the two
all together aimed at achieving a historical justice. At the
same time they were at the beginning both laurel in their
activities of own kind. At the beginning of other work politically
there were only few followers and listeners to whatever they
would have to utter. At the same time the political task was
to say the least here was arduous.
Yet slowly and slowly with a given elapsing time they both
created a mountainous human being followers. Consequently,
they were becoming attracted to everybody for what concerned
about that moment.
What
was remarkable and noticeable in these two international figures
that they never used violence. To be one of them precise credence
for their advocacy of events. A silent political moment is
liable to leave behind a lingering effect for generations
over generations to come and this Gandhi and Martin Luther
King have left as inheritance. Nonetheless, the percussions
of such a silent movement could be extremely noisy. And its
lingering effect could have created the best ever memory one
can think of. A meaningful over this historical mortal is
synonymous with any shakable mountain of conviction. History
is a remainder out of dream but practical dream can make history
without any doubt. Martin Luther King had a vision several
times that he had a dream and Gandhi's dream was independence.
Yet
practical dream do have prices attached to them. Martin Luther
had a dream and it was realized. Gandhi had the same dream
and it was realized. However the realization of these two
dreams amounted to more than 2/3rd of the population of the
globe. And to be in such a state of human affair it is a triumph
of the obvious in a human history. Yet a remarkable aspect
of these international figures was of humble originality on
one side but the meaning message to history on the other side.
To
have an emphatic presence in the annals of history is neither
a light task nor it is an affair that could be simply by passed
from here and there. It is within this realm of historic recognition
that both Martin Luther King and Gandhi proceeded in their
actual existence. What is not visible about these two international
figures that they have created their own political cultural
entities as such. For one to remain in the annals of history
forever is not an easy task under any circumstances.
