October 2

well its almost 50 days down from october 2, people used to call tat day as gandhi jayanthi.
I like to share few things about gandhi here. hope u guys ll like it.

i don know wen i started hating Gandhi.. i don like him at all.. he is a coward,timid and his followers r dumb..historically people like courage and brave leaders,.. 10 years back i thought that he never gave a solution to the gals who wr raped by british during freedom fight...this is at tat point of time i attend the "Gandhi- the mistakes" a speech given by kumari ananthan (ex-congress tamilnadu leader and gandhian follower). the mistakes he quoted was

1) Gandhi is the reason for pakistan split and the riot in bengal..
2) Gandhi/Congress didnt supported bagat singh and bagat singh death sentance would be withdrawn if gandhi supported him.
3) Refused to elect subash chandra bose as Indian national congress leader(second term).
4) Postpone the indian freedom.
The same day after the speech i read the Ghandhi autobiography(sathyasothanai) and the following are the answers which I understood from the book..

pakistan split and riots in Bengal- Gandhi never agreed to the pakistan split but gandhi's policies led to the split. Jinnah was not recognised properly by Gandhi, Gandhi gave importance to abir khan, maulana and other muslim leaders but not to Jinnah. This led the Jinnah to start a new party under new nation(same like today's politics, நாதாரிகல). when the partition was out of control, gandhi tried to unite both India and bengal, this led to the riots in bengal.

2) Bagat singh case- Gandhi didnt supported him because Bagat singh used non-violence as a weopen against British(note its not freedom fight,என்ன கொடுமை சரவணன் இது??)

3) Against Subash chandrabose- This one is not yet clear to me but as i understood from subash chandra bose life history, gandhi didnt liked him because he always supported non-violence. The worst thing happen when gandhi supported lala lajput rai(forgot te name need to check) for the congress leader post and he was terribly lost to subash chandrabose.The fact is many of the indian congress members voted for subash chandra bose and he was elected as a Indian congress leader.This led to the conflict in indian national congress itself and finally subash quit his leadership and started the indian national army.

Delay in freedom- Yes, British planned to hoist Indian national flag on 1935 but it was postponed due to the conflict in indian national congress and gandhi didnt show much interest for the freedom of the nation rather he worked for the freedom of Indian people from illetracy, superstitious believes,building proper economic/political structure etc. There are few people who says that the freedom was postponed because of the following reasons.

1) Jinnah started his slogan for a seperate country. 2) Dravida kalagam raised their slogan for seperate dravidian nation. 3) Raja and maharaja rules were not consolidated in 1935( It was consolidated only on january 30,1950 and they included kashmir later, அப்ப வெச்ச ஆப்பு, இன்னு எடுக்க முடியல!!!)

The following are things that I understood from sathyasothanai,

1) He didnt worked for the freedom of India (means land) rather he worked for the freedom from people themselves (freedom from caste,communalism,superstitious believes etc.,)

2) Non violence is the best weopen available to human beings (tamil politicians should tell this to LTTE's, if prabhakaran used this weapon atleast this point of time he would be in a position to get the global support. Its not yet late, prabhakaran can follow the non-violence at any time.)

4) Before freedom, gandhi wants to remove the monarchy(kashmir,hyderabadi and udaipur kings) and it would have happened, then there wont be any fight for kashmir now.

If u ever want to know abt gandhian principles and philosophy, please read his book and try to follow his thought. Gandhi is one whose thoughts r simple but difficult to follow.. am still trying to follow him(already 10 years over)..
