Che, the one who wanted to heal, curtail pain, rally round a hand and felt commiserate with the suffering masses/ widespread poverty did much more than what his university or med-school taught him. He invoked a sense of freedom, passion, hope to revolutionaries and non revolutionaries alike. The world as always, did everything in its fraudulent hands to tarnish what he has built, advocated his ideals as extreme and Marxist. Ill let it be that way.
All of a sudden, you should be wondering why I am writing about this fallen hero! I chanced upon an advertisement online selling Che Guevara T shirts, nothing new to most of us. But, comparing El Che to Gabbar Singh, a puny villain in a Hindi movie?!
Outrageous I say!
Abomination is the feeling.
Gabbar is a fun character, I agree but don’t we need to draw a line as to where we need to stop. So all those idiots out there who think Che print T shirts are in thing and all – please do realize this idiosyncratic gentleman is a war hero, a knight who braved any obstacle that came his way so that there could be more quality, more freedom in people’s lives.
If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine – Ernesto “Che” Guevara
