Salute and Respect Dr. D. Gandhi, Patiala De PARENTS Di Soch Nu. Appe Parr Lo...Unha Di Jubani: Gandhi was a name more commonly found in Gujarat. What was a Gandhi doing in Punjab? “I got the name Gandhi for my work as a student activist. My father was an adarshwadi teacher. He did not believe in religion and caste. He did not want his sons to associate with any narrow identity. He named my brothers Harvir Kabir and Yashvir Nanak. And he named me Dharamvir Bulla…Bulla, as in Bulleh Shah, the revolutionary rebel poet. Have you heard of him?” With this, he broke into a couplet by Bulleh Shah: Bulleh nalu chulha changa/Jispe ann pakayeeda Thakur nalu theekar changa/Pulpul dana khayeeda Pauthi nalu khuthi changi/Jiske rizak kamaeeda Bulleh Shah nu murshid milaya/Darshan ho gaya sai da The stove is better than Bulla/You can cook on it The earthen pot is better than God/You can serve in it The donkey is better than the scripture/You can earn a living with it Bulleh Shah has found a teacher and glimpsed God
