Respectful tribute to a great soul. But sometimes I feel these tributes on social media are just for show. Are today's leaders truly following his ideals of simplicity and integrity? Actions speak louder than posts.

My grandfather from Bihar always spoke of him with so much respect. A leader who lived among the people, understood their pain. We don't make leaders like him anymore. A real 'Jananayak'.

His policies for reservation and empowerment were revolutionary for their time. It laid the foundation for many social changes we see today. A true icon for the marginalized. Salutations!
