Do you know who is the father of our nation?

क्या आप जानते हैं कि हमारे राष्ट्रपिता कौन हैं?

India is our nation. There was a great man born in our nation. He was Mahatma Gandhi. Before this name his name was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. People called him Bapu.

भारत हमारा राष्ट्र है।  हमारे देश में एक महान व्यक्ति का जन्म हुआ था।  वह महात्मा गांधी थे।  इस नाम से पहले उनका नाम मोहनदास करमचंद गांधी था।  लोग उन्हें बापू कहते थे।

Mahatma Gandhi was born on 2nd October 1869. He was born at Porbandar in Gujarat. His father's name was Karamchand Gandhi. His mother's name was Putlibai. His mother was a very pious lady. She wanted to make him a man of character. Gandhiji was very obedient to his parents. He was very truthful since his childhood.

महात्मा गांधी का जन्म 2 अक्टूबर 1869 को हुआ था। उनका जन्म गुजरात के पोरबंदर में हुआ था।  इनके पिता का नाम करमचंद गाँधी था।  उनकी माता का नाम पुतलीबाई था।  उनकी माता बहुत ही धर्मपरायण महिला थीं।  वह उसे चरित्रवान बनाना चाहती थी।  गांधीजी अपने माता-पिता के बहुत आज्ञाकारी थे।  वे बचपन से ही बहुत सच्चे थे।

We know our country was slave. Englishmen were ruling over our country. They were from other country. They had no love and sympathy for our countrymen. Their behaviour was bad with Indians. Gandhiji did not like all these. He came ahead to make India free from the English rule. He fought for the freedom of India. After a long struggle Gandhi ji made our country India free. India became free on 15th August 1947.

हम जानते हैं कि हमारा देश गुलाम था।  हमारे देश पर अंग्रेजों का शासन था।  वे दूसरे देश के थे।  उन्हें हमारे देशवासियों के लिए कोई प्यार और सहानुभूति नहीं थी।  भारतीयों के साथ उनका व्यवहार खराब था।  गांधी जी को ये सब पसंद नहीं था।  वह भारत को अंग्रेजी शासन से मुक्त कराने के लिए आगे आए।  उन्होंने भारत की आजादी के लिए लड़ाई लड़ी।  लंबे संघर्ष के बाद गांधी जी ने हमारे देश भारत को आजाद कराया।  15 अगस्त 1947 को भारत आजाद हुआ।

Gandhi ji was a great man. He gave us free India. He gave us the lesson of 'Truth' and 'Ahimsa'. He did not tell a lie. He was fond of children. He loved children very much. He was a lover of peace. He loved harijans very much.

गांधी जी एक महान व्यक्ति थे।  उन्होंने हमें आजाद भारत दिया।  उन्होंने हमें 'सत्य' और 'अहिंसा' का पाठ पढ़ाया।  उन्होंने झूठ नहीं कहा।  उन्हें बच्चों से लगाव था।  उन्हें बच्चों से बहुत प्यार था।  वे शांति के प्रेमी थे।  उन्हें हरिजनों से बहुत प्रेम था।

Gandhiji was shot dead on 30 January 1948 by Nathuram Godse. He died with 'Hey Ram'.

30 जनवरी 1948 को नाथूराम गोडसे ने गांधी जी की गोली मारकर हत्या कर दी थी।  वे 'हे राम' के साथ मर गये।

Now Gandhi ji is no more in the world. But he is alive because of his great deeds. We call him the father of the nation.

अब गांधी जी इस दुनिया में नहीं रहे।  लेकिन वह अपने महान कार्यों के कारण जीवित है।  हम उन्हें राष्ट्रपिता कहते हैं।
