Gandhi's Peaceful Protest in 1934 and Violent Protest in 2020 

The mass gathering at a time of COVID19 epidemic, looting, breaking windows, burning property, and stealing goods in the name of humanity in major American cities is equally disturbing as the inhuman killing of George Floyd. The peace-loving and law-abiding citizens can not support this lawlessness. The institutional racial discrimination is a menace and world need to have a priority in eradicating it. 

The importance of Gandhian non-violence is increasing day by day. These days even superpowers feel insecure, the universal presence of injustice, terrorism, religious fanatism makes people realise that powerful states are failing to their fundamental duty to protect their citizens. 

Gandhi's non-violence tool become a mass movement which defeated powerful colonial powers that liberated millions

This is a time we need to go back to Gandhian values, as Gandhi used non-violence as a powerful tool at individual and community level to fight for justice. He used non-violence to resolve political and social issues. Gandhi's non-violence tool become a mass movement which defeated powerful colonial powers that liberated millions. 

Gandhi believed that “There is no God higher than truth”
 
Gandhi believed that “There is no God higher than truth.” Throughout his life he practised and propagated non- violence is the ultimate solution of every kind of problem in the world. His strategies were always based on non-violence, truth, sacrifice,  and selfless service to humanity. Gandhi, always told that one should be brave to speak the truth in all circumstances and present his views without being violent and communities can fight a war with the weapons of truth and non-violence.

Today Leo Vardkar An Taoiseach (Prime Minister) made a very powerful statement in the Dáil Éireann (Irish Parliament) to condemn racism and discrimination.  We do not need to look across the Atlantic to find racism. We have many examples in our own country. Discrimination on the basis of skin colour is pernicious....  "In recent days the world has watched in horror the events following the killing of George Floyd. It has prompted a palpable outpouring of emotion and spontaneous expressions of solidarity against the poison of racism. We have also seen genuine revulsion at the heavy-handed response in some instances towards peaceful protesters and journalists." Racism too is a virus, transmitted at an early age, perpetuated by prejudice, sustained by systems...... "We have witnessed the absence of moral leadership or of words of understanding, comfort or healing from whence they should have come. It is right to be angered by injustice. Racism too is a virus, transmitted at

Telephone Consumers in Ireland are Vulnerable for Cramming (Unauthorized, Misleading, or Deceptive Charges Placed on Your Telephone Bill)

The consumer gets crammed when a dishonest company puts charges on their phone bill (landline or mobile phone) for services that were not wanted or authorized by the customer.   Cramming has been around for more than a decade—ever since phone companies were allowed to make extra money by billing for other companies. Until recently, the phenomenon had been mostly limited. These days this scam is a growing problem for phone customers in Ireland.  More alarmingly, a study in the United States of America found that only 1 in 20 cramming victims realize they’ve scammed. That’s because the crammers are clever. They know how to make their illegal fees easy to miss by consumers. They keep the amounts small and list them on the bill as something innocuous, such as monthly charge or service fee. People don’t see it, and if they do see it, they don’t pay attention.
