Every
day we hear someone saying “If Gandhiji was alive today” while something
injustice going in front of us. For us, Gandhiji is the Symbol of Revolution,
Truth, Honesty, Leadership, Ahimsa (Non- Violence) & he represents India.
He is Father of our Nation & he brought us freedom from the hands of
British. Not only India, the whole world respects him for his Humanity theory called Ahimsa &
Sathyagraha Movement. I personally have great respect for him as he was the
only leader who brought Both Hindu & Muslim under one roof. He taught the
world about Humanity & Nonviolence after Buddha & Ashoka. Even
his enemies will be proud of this great Soul who born in India & we proudly
call him “Father of the Nation”.
As we
Know Mahatma was born on 2nd October 1869 in a Rich Hindu Family. After
his marriage he did his Degree in Law from University of London. Then he
went to South Africa’s Durban, in what is now KwaZulu- Natal Province for his
Law practice in one year Contract with Dada Abdullah Seth & co, a smuggling company in Africa as he was unsuccessful in
Mumbai. He was treated badly in train in Africa & he came to know about
Racism. He started M.K. Gandhi Attorney for
living & started fight for Indians.
He became the First Secretary of Natal Indian Congress which was founded to fight against discrimination of Indian traders
and smugglers in Natal a region in South Africa. NIC fought for full
citizenship in the colonies for Indians, Tax System & for their rights in
the Society. Gandhi took initiative for NIC & collected
subscriptions (money) from the Indians & made NIC to grow strong. After
several protests and prisons, the Satyagraha campaign in South Africa was successful.
He returned to India before SA got independence (A few allegations are he was thrown
out of NIC for irregularities in finance).

Heston Says "Political correctness is tyranny with manners". So I
wanted to make a discussion about Mahatma & I have some Questions about him…..
He was born & brought up in India why didn’t he felt racism herein India or
in London? He was the preacher of Ahimsa & non Violence, but during 2ndworld
war he collaborated with British & he himself motivated British to send Indian army to support English side against Axis Powers. Was that not violence?
The Indian army he sent was treated like dogs during 2nd WW &
they were killed without weapons. Most of them never returned back & nobody
cared after. In 1938 while Subhash Chandra Bose became President of Congress
for 2nd term Gandhi went on hunger strike until Bose left his post in congress as his nominee Dr. Pattabhi
Sitaramayya lost against Bose. He said Bose was like my son & when Bose escaped from his home arrest Gandhi promised to
British that if he or his men found Bose they will hand over Bose to British. Did
Non- Violence theory differed from people to people? He did same with Bhagat
Singh too. He would have saved Bhagat singh from death but he never tried to
meet Viceroy. Gandhi feared about Bhagat Singh while he was jailed as the
popularity of Bhagat Singh was multiplying. He always took the side of rich
people & industrialists when it comes to politics. He was illustrated as he
is leading a simple life in Sabarmati Ashram & he stayed with Birla’s in Birla
House & other big bucks were always kept in dark. Was his simplicity was
Showoff?
Now
about UNTOUCHABILITY, Gandhiji was a leader of masses & he knew how to take
people out from their houses & work for freedom struggle. Even today he is
treated as god after Ambedkar from “Harijans”. What was his contribution for them? He didn’t
give his complete support to Ambedkar to lead constitution committee when it
was planned to made. As per sources in 1932, Gandhi collected 1crore & 32
lakh Rs for “TILAK SWARAJ” fund, which was planned to utilize for improvement
of Dalits in India. There is no proof for spending that money on DALITS. Ambedkar
felt Gandhi was undermining Dalit political rights & described him as
"devious and untrustworthy". Did
Gandhiji open any door of a Hindu temple in Gujarat for Untouchables? I It was
Ambedkar who initiated reservation for dalits in Constitution only for 10 years (planned up to 1950-1960) then it became a
political mantra for the political parties who can sell themselves for votes.
Now
about MOVEMENTS, Gandhiji was a revolutionary but when studied in depth, most of Andolans & Satyagraha he made was withdrawn even
before it formed a positive action . For
example Khilafat movement in 1919 (he did not originate the All-India Muslim Conference) which
was started by Muslims for their safety for religious leader called “Caliph”.
Ottoman Empire had lost the 1st World War & it created fear in Islam World.
Gandhi who was struggling with his weak position in congress used this
opportunity & became a spoke person to attract Muslims. With a huge support
he became the first mass leader with multicultural base by 1920. His power in
congress was highly increased within a short span. What happened to Khilafat movement later? It collapsed
without any support in 1922. Did Gandhi use Islam movement for his own? Let’s
take his Non-cooperation movement; it was a peaceful national protest which
both Hindu & Muslim shared their hands against British Empire. When Jallianwala Bagh Massacre happened Gandhi criticized
both British and the castigatory violence of Indians. Is this a way how leader
should behave when his innocent men were killed in the hands of Butchers?
British Raj celebrated this by saying “Suppress of Mutiny”& fooled
world historians. What was Gandhi’s answer? In 1922 though Non-cooperation
movement was a great success all over India he called it off just for one “Chauri
Chaura” incident. Many Indians were killed; many people left colleges,
schools, jobs, government offices for participating in non-cooperation movement. What
about the sacrifice of all those people who took part in all those ANDOLANS? They were poor Indians
who had a dream to live in Independent India. Was “Chauri Chaura” the only reason to call of Non-cooperation
movement? Why was he arrested after calling off the movement? Was it hoax he
agreed with British or did he fear to stay out as believers of the movement
were angry against his foolish act?

In 1934
as Congress was broken with the internal clashes of leaders like Chitta Ranjan
Das, Motilal Nehru, C Rajagopalachari and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Gandhi left
congress without convincing them. Did he walk out of politics as he felt powerless in Congress? Hundreds of
questions were unanswered & people around just used him as a trump card for
their selfishness & it is continuing even today. Martin Luther King Jr says
"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and
conscientious stupidity."
History
as usual remain rigged and in the books in the hands of government which
remains confidential.
Nonetheless,
overrated or truth, India needed a national figure to boast of and here he is
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi aka The Father of the Nation.
Jai Hind
