MAHATMA GANDHI.

The name defines everything right??

No I need us to stop here and think for a moment.

Why did Gandhiji never receive an Noble prize for peace, whereas his followers like Nelson Mandela and Dalai Lama got the ultimate honour for peace?

Did you ever think of it?

Let’s give a thought to this…

Now some people might argue that the Noble Prize committee comprised of Europeans and thus due to their hatred towards Indians they didn’t award the prize to Gandhi…

This is certainly a reason but, these were the words of the Noble Prize committee for rejecting Peace prize to Gandhi

Sharp turns in his policies, which can hardly be satisfactorily explained by his followers. He is a freedom fighter and a dictator, an idealist and a nationalist. He is frequently a Christ, but then, suddenly, an ordinary politician.”

From here one can understand that Gandhi was a double faced man. If he truly was a saint then why were emotions always swinging over his face?.. most importantly why did he always require lady companions around himself?

This lust issue is not a big one. Major issues that India suffered from ,due to Gandhi are these one.

1. BENGAL FAMINE OF 1943

I’m absolutely right, it was Gandhiji because of whom 3 million people died during the famine of 1943 in Bengal.

Now how?

At that time WW2 was going on in Europe and the PM of England Winston Chruchil (whom some Stupid Indians hail as a good leader) asked the British authorities in India to bring all food to England instead of sending it to famine hit Bengal and our dear Gandhiji continued with his slogan of Satyagraha and didn’t oppose this move and also didn’t allow anyone to react and thus let 3 million people die of starvation and many more suffer.

What for?…. Yes you guessed it right!

To satisfy his ego

2. WORLD WAR 2

It was 1939 and the President of Indian National Congress was Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose . This time Gandhiji without the consent of Netaji sent around 2.5million Indian soldiers to fight for Britain.

Of which 87000 soldiers died… not for their motherland but for Gandhi’s beloved Britain.

Hereby Many questions arise in my mind!

Was the non-violence theory of Gandhi only applicable for Indians? Were the Britishers exempted from this theory?

Like when the Britishers used force against us, he asked us to do ahimsa (Non-violence).But when the Britishers were about to kill millions in the war he gave them more support might be saying.. Take this lofty Indian army and kill as many you want.

I would like to ask..

why didn’t he teach ahimsa to Britishers instead of teaching it to Indians? the whole problem would have solved there itself..

Why didn’t he sit for Dharna asking not to take Indian soldiers to War? The main thing is yet to come.

3. PARTITION OF THE MOTHERLAND

Why was Gandhi so reluctant during the partiton? If it is said that he tried the utmost to unite Hindu Muslims, why didn’t he stop the partiton? He knew that if the Indian army would have intervened during the riots, the massacre would have been prevented. Then why didn’t he do so?

Around 2 million people died during partition.

Who is responsible for this? I leave this to you.

The sad part is that Gandhi still enjoyed his tea party with the Britishers even after this death of 2 million people.

This man smiles after the death of 2 millions people. Might be a Saint of The Modern World!

And the main part is, this saint said that he might turn violent after partiton. Here are his words.

though he had always opposed all warfare, if there was no other way of securing justice from Pakistan and if Pakistan persistently refused to see its proved error and continued to minimise it, the Indian Union Government would have to go to war against it. No one wanted war, but he could never advise anyone to put up with injustice. If all Hindus were annihilated for a just cause he would not mind. If there was war, the Hindus in Pakistan could not be fifth columnists

Ohh wow now the saint wants war with Pakistan. Then why not England?

4. ACTUALLY NEVER SUPPORTED INDIAN FREEDOM STRUGGLE.

You might be saying this guy has gone crazy.

But it’s the fact. In real he just supported his own ideologies of Ahimsa and Satyagraha. Independence was a secondary aim.

If he was so eager to gift freedom to India why didn’t he support Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Lokmanya Tilak, Bhagat Singh, Babasaheb Ambedkar? He preponed the death sentence of Bhagat Singh, never helped Netaji during his exile, supported prison for Lokmanya, took dharna against decision of Babasaheb.

When Veer Bhagat Singh surrendered himself to the police and was given death sentence whole India started chanting his name, even the congressmen demanded his freedom. Here Gandhiji thought his image is vanishing due to Bhagat Singh and feared of Bhagat Singh getting whole credit for India’s freedom hence asked the British to prepone his death penalty.

Even though they were extremists they too had the same aim of Freedom. Then why was Gandhi so much against these people, why couldn’t he see the patriotism of these people? Why he just tried to force his ideologies on other leaders? Why did he enjoy tea parties with Britishers? And more questions doubt his image.

It was like Gandhi was a great thinker. Yes he indeed was. But tried to portray himself as a visionary Political leader. Which he never was. Thereby ruining the present and future the great Nation India.

I personally think ahimsa should be followed if our home is safe.

Here our home was not safe, we had no clothes to wear, no food to eat, our brothers were slaughtered, our sisters were raped. And he says ahimsa!

Plus gandhi also distorted the indian texts and sayings.

He proudly quoted the vedic verse

Ahimsa parmo dharma

But never said the second part ie

Dharma himsa tàthaivacha

No!!!

I am not with him.

JAI HIND

“Haven’t your mother taught you anything” his teacher screamed when Aman was unable to write an essay on the topic “my mother”.

He went home and told everything to his mother.

“Don’t worry beta. I know you’re brave. I love you” she said.

His mother’s words always used to bring a sense of positiveness in him.

The next day, Aman wrote an exceptionally good essay on that topic.

But his few friends were jealous of this.

On being asked by them of how he was able to write such a good essay, he told “my mother’s motivational words helped me.”

His friends were intrigued to know about the kind of motivation she bestowed in him and so they all wanted to see his mother.

Aman happily agreed to introduce his friends to her.

He called his father to let him know that his friends were coming over his house to meet his mom.

Upon entering the house, the dinner table was set with glasses of mango juice for all those kids.

“Your mother is so nice Aman” said one of his friend on witnessing this sweet gesture.

“I can’t wait now. Where’s your mother?” his friends said.

“Here she is” said Aman pointing towards a sound recorder kept on the desk.

His friends stood confused. They didn’t understand what was happening.

Meanwhile, Aman switched on the recorder and it said “Don’t worry beta. I know you’re brave. I love you.”

His friends still didn’t understand anything.

Meanwhile, Aman’s dad asked him to quickly change his school uniform and get fresh.

Aman went to his room and then his dad explained to his friends.

“His mother died due to cancer when Aman was 4. Before she died, she recorded this message for him coz she knew that her voice could easily solve any problem in his life. From then on, he used to believe that this recorder is his mom only.”

His friends were stunned. They didn’t have any words to say.

Meanwhile Aman returned from his bedroom and then all his friends hugged him together with tears in their eyes.

Corona virus was a sudden event in everyone’s life. Plans failed due to the lockdown and certain
plans came to life too. During the lockdown, weekdays became weekends for everyone to explore
their hobbies and something they could master. Cooking, singing, drawing and writing weren’t just
hobbies or wishes anymore. Clearly the pandemic had worse effects too. Many things changed. The
economy of many countries including India has deteriorated and its restoration will take ample
amount of time. After the lockdown is over, prices of almost every other commodity will rise to the
sky. Small businesses and startups would have to struggle too. Many community groups, self-help
groups have clearly faced challenges due to the lockdown.
This pandemic tends to have a massive effect on many countries all over the world. Economically
flourished countries like America and Singapore etc; have faced an immense human loss due to this
pandemic. Most importantly the current situation of every country affected due to Covid-19
required an initiative. And most certainly, it was lockdown. Where this lockdown is a relief for some,
at the same time this lockdown tends to be a crucial time to tackle for the police force and political
authorities. Amidst a situation like this, there are many people who even today judge the
government for a decision of lockdown. We cant help but be cranky at times. An opinion of mine
stands firmly against behaviour like this. Its us, it’s the citizens of the country who can support the
government and officers in a situation like this. We must resist laziness and crankiness. And step up
to be better citizens for the benefit of our families, friends and fellow citizens.
Moving on, from the environmental aspect, the dramatic decrease in pollution benefitted the
environmental balance. Nature has regained its stability back although for a small amount of time
but amidst the anxieties and uncertainties of the pandemic, that’s a great relief.
From the familial perspective, everyone has got the time they used to crave. The familial aspect is
fulfilled for now, and after the pandemic is over, and lockdown is released, everyone is going to rush
back into the businesses they used to despise and wanted holidays from. Over the time, everyone
and everything will get into place. Everyone will be back to their initial routines. And the nature
would get time to reminisce a time period of lockdown when it could actually breath, away from the
rush and pollution caused by humans.
In the end, I cannot be sure of everyone’s opinion. But this lockdown clearly taught me something. It
was the fact that we can live perfectly without grandeur and luxury. Not everyday do we need
luxury. We humans, can live perfectly simple and sober lives too. This pandemic left many in sorrow
but also taught us something we couldn’t notice in our packed schedules and routines. What it
taught is Unity. We humans, have to stand united against a pandemic like this. Be a support to every
fellow country. Only then we can dominate a destructive pandemic like the Corona virus.
