ABSTRACT
This chapter elaborates that the Gandhi's life through Lage Raho Munna Bhai, because it shows one way to counter the after-effects of Nathuram's parricide. The mass repression of the murder of Gandhi may be undone by his continuous resurrection through the own form of Gandhigiri. Munna not only makes peace with Gandhi's ghost, but also uses him to change his own life. In the end, the ghost is laid to rest not through an act of exorcism but through absorption, assimilation and emulation. The creative application of Gandhi, the exemplar, in the personal and social life-worlds is the way that Gandhi's haunting of the nation may be turned not just therapeutic, but transformative. The incessant reapplication of and reengagement with Gandhi's ideas and life renders him an ever-living presence in midst, thereby negating logic of his assassination. Indeed, the revival of Gandhi that Munna effects is, perhaps, more powerful and significant that his assassination at hands of a misguided zealot.
