Gita

Two men in different continents at the same time were making history. Both were influenced by Bhagvad Gita and chose different ways to fight against the evil: J. Robert Oppenheimer and Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi chose the way of non-cooperation against the powerful forces of British whereas Oppenheimer thought destruction of atomic bombs can be used to control the enemies of humanity. Both were equally rignt and wrong. Gandhi's message of peace became the symbol of India's complacency and Oppenheimer's power message became the US's arrogance.
