What is the similarity between Rakhi Sawant and Mahatma Gandhi?

Actually Rakhi is an ardent follower of Gandhiji. She claims to be very closely following the principles which dictated the life of Gandhiji. She is a vegetarian, teetotaler, speaks no evil, no backbiting and she fights for justice.

Says she, “I am a true Gandhian. Gandhiji once said: ‘Bura mat suno, bura mat kaho aur bura mat dekho’. I am born with these qualities. I don’t bitch about anyone, I never have any interest in other’s dirty linen and I can’t see people doing wrong and be quiet

Haa aur logo to bura dikhao zaroor. Its like the source of vulgarity claiming that I don’t see any evil so I am good.

“I speak the truth. That’s why people don’t like me. They think I am arrogant. But one quality that brings me closer to Gandhiji is the ability to fight against injustice. You remember how I grounded Mika when he kissed me. It was a true example of Gandhigiri.”

Where did Gandhigiri come into picture? Did she ever protest or sat on an hunger strike?

Rakhi says that she has a mission to fulfill in this country like Gandhiji. “Just as he fought to free this country from British, I want to free this country from corruption. This is my ultimate aim,” says Rakhi.

On being asked how her item dance is on the line of Gandhian principles, she says, “Item dance is not a crime. It’s an art and I pursue it with a vanity. it’s takes a lot of hard work to perform. Gandhiji also believed in working hard.”

She is doing us a great favour in freeing this country of corrupt politicians, especially the old ones. Do I really need to tell you how? I am sure you are all smart people to guess that.

Lets imagine an hypothetical situation of Gandhiji meeting Rakhi Sawant

Rakhi- I am a great fan of yours bapu. It was my childhood dream to meet you one day and I don’t believe my luck.

Gandhiji- Even I don’t believe my luck that a girl like you actually idolizes me. What work do you do beti ?

Rakhi- I really work hard for my money bapu. I even work in the night and don’t sleep before my client or boss sleeps.

Gandhiji- That’s very good beti. We all should work towards creating a great India. Its the youth of today who have to take the initiative. Sadly people are now resorting to violence to get their job done.

Rakhi- That’s really unfortunate bapu. You know I was once molested by a singer’s brother. But I never slapped him or try to take revenge. I fought for my rights and lodged a complain against him. He did try to embarrass me in a TV show but I was strong. I held onto your principles which I adored so much since childhood. I have no vengeance in me but I all I want is a punishment for him.

Gandhiji- You really make me proud my dear beti. Does your employer doesn’t pay you enough? Why are you wearing this torn out cloth?

Rakhi- Actually bapu I don’t have AC in my house. So to have some respite of this scorching heat, I have to reduce my clothing. Plus I am of the opinion that I shouldn’t put up clothes on my body when half the country’s population don’t have access to good clothing. Even you wore only dhoti during the time of your struggle.

Gandhiji- But you are a woman! You should cover yourself in khaadi and not nets.

Rakhi- Bapu, please! rules are to be modified with times. If you can wear only dhoti then why can’t I wear only nets?

Gandhiji- Ok, Ok. I have heard that a bhakt of mine has been sent to jail.

Rakhi- Yes, Sanjay Dutt is in jail for the crime of keeping weapons in his possession. He was also involved in a friendly relationship with Dawud.

Gandhiji- Poor guy. But I am happy that there are still followers of me in this world. But beti you should seriously consider putting some clothes on.

Rakhi- Oh please bapu! zamana badal gaya hai. Even your close friend, Nehruji, was dating Mountbatten’s wife. You seems to be the only person who got a raw deal.

Gandhiji- No regrets, beti. Unfortunately the people who hated me and got me killed are now famous in this country. Its really sad that RSS have grown in strength and power since independence. Ok then let me go back again. Keep in touch. I was a pleasure meeting you.

Rakhi- It was an honour meeting you bapuji.
