M K Gandhi - The highly Overrated Greatest Indian

My Jeopardy populace,

Members of NIC

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 2^nd 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).

Charlton 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 2^ndworld 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 2^nd 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 2^nd 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?

MK Gandhi Attorney, South Africa

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
