“SATYAM VADA PRIYAM VADA” is a wonderful element of Sanatana Bharatiya ethos and culture. Over years, it has been misused and exploited by all anti-Hindu forces so much so that even we have been preached over this same very ideal whenever Hindu-s called spade a spade, just as we are taught bogus theory of Secularism while we have been ardent practitioners of the doctrine of VASUDHAIVA KUTUMBAKAM for thousands of years. It has consumed so much of Hindu blood before an illustrious Hindu Arun Shourie could demand jaws for a tooth, both eyes for an eye publicly…it is now the opportune moment of our history that we eschew this ideal turned inhibition for better times to come and call spade a spade with maximum emphasis at our command.
One of cruel jokes this nation had been enduring with all these decades is that a thin, diminutive, semi-naked, shrewd old man, surviving on goat-milk and watery Khichari without Papada, is the liberator of this country from shackles of the exploitative, parasitic, devilish British empire, even though his Quit India Movement 1942 died a pitiable demise by 1946 in addition to Non-Cooperation and Civil Disobedience Movements. His dedication to the cause of Kamal Ataturk/Ali Brothers with the ostensible purpose of winning over Muslim support bordered on utter lunacy. This ‘Mahatma’ went on wooing Muslims supine while those oppressors went on wooing something else !! His brazen advice to hapless Hindu-s to repent and be penitent after Moplah riots was sheer anti-Hinduism to boot. For this reason alone, ‘Mahatma’ deserved to be treated at par with those Muslim oppressors, perpetrators of Moplah riots.
‘Mahatma’ then went on to be the sole cause of partition of this country, followed by fierce riots and human carnage of monumental dimensions with Hindu-s being the worst sufferers. Trains loaded with dead bodies of Hindu-s arriving from Pakistan carried slogans, “AZADI KA TOHFA” !! Not a single Hindu woman was fortunate enough to escape Islamic brutalities. ‘Mahatma’ was great enough to bluntly preach 40,00,000 displaced Hindu-s to return to Pakistan in the spirit of Ahimsa !! And he professed to be a devotee of Sri Rama too !!! Had ‘Mahatma’ been there alive at that time, he would have done his best to pressurise Sri Rama through those anarchic fasts, to partition Ayodhya and handover a portion of it to Lanka instead of slaying Ravana for the benediction of all !!! This pro-Muslim/anti-Hindu ‘Mahatma’ often pontificated over the wisdom of Gita, proclaimed it as his personal guide-book yet never referred to Sri Krsnas teachings of lifting arms for slaying sinners among Kaurava-s in the battlefield !!! He only revelled in how to shun and renounce, how to encourage Hindu-s to traumatise themselves without slaying perpetrators of brutalities. Srimadbhagvadgita, that was Karmayoga Sastra further refined into Gandiva Sastra, was converted into Ahimsa Yoga Sastra very conveniently by the ‘Mahatma’ !! So-called ‘Mahatma’ never completed the Mantra of “Ahimsa Paramo Dharmaha” to “Ahimsa Paramo Dharmaha, Dharma Himsa Tathaiva Ca” before the masses that adored him so innocently and ignorantly. So much of his ‘deep’ understanding of the greatest human manual, that is Gita !!! ‘Mahatma’ always preached one-sided version of Gita. Never the counsel of Sri Krsna to pick up arms and slay felons.
He is known to the world as ‘Mahatma’ Mohandas Karamchandra Gandhi yet for all practical purposes, he always deported himself as ‘Congress-Pita& Rastra-Kaputa’. It is so because –
‘Mahatma’ never wanted freedom from British slavery !! He was struggling for ‘Swa-Raja’ under British domination just as Dalai Lama has been struggling for “Article 370” for Tibet under Chinese occupation !! Otherwise as a matter of fact, he would have been hanged to death by British brutes in no time. Do you believe such a brutal regime of British-Goras would have tolerated people like ‘Mahatma’ and JL Nehru had they really been so influential in freedom struggle given the chilling fact that British-Goras were hunting, torturing and slaughtering every freedom-fighter ?? How brutally, inhumanely did they torture Vinayaka Savarkar ? ‘Mahatma’ had a sweet understanding of friendly matches with British-Goras at the macabre expense of very poor, malnourished, innocent Hindu-s of the country by mesmerising them as a saint !! On the contrary, Netaji Bose was fiercely against British rule in any form, brooked no compromise at all. And for that very reason, Mahatma’ was very hostile towards Netaji like British occupiers and British occupiers secretly loved and adored the ‘Mahatma’. When Netaji Bose was elected Congress President in 1931, ‘Mahatma’ doggedly supported Pattabhi Sitaramaiah against Netaji and forced him to resign ultimately. Netaji gracefully quit because he did not want freedom movement to be split into two. ‘Mahatma’ never brooked dissent and “Either you are with me or against me” was his Mantra !! Greatness imposed on ‘Mahatma’ had no limits to reckon with.
After Jallianwala Bagh genocide in 1919 wherein hundreds of innocents were mercilessly slaughtered, it was ‘Mahatma’ who opposed prosecution of Reginald O’ Dyer, British butcher who ordered those uninterrupted, cold-blooded killings.
‘Mahatma’ called Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekher Azad, Rajguru terrorists, did nothing to save them going to gallows though he could do a lot. In fact, he was quite eager for their liquidation earliest possible and wrote to the concerned Jail Suptd. in this regard, so goes history telling.
‘Mahatma’ feared growing popularity of Bhagat Singh. He deliberately managed to sign Gandhi-Irwin Pact only after Bhagat Singh was hanged to death. The Pact saw release of most of the political prisoners across the country after they were hanged to death but the movement of ‘Purna Swaraja’ was destroyed.
On May 6, 1946, ‘Mahatma’ advised Hindu-s to sacrifice their lives at bloodied hands of Muslim League.
‘Mahatma’ supported Khilafat in 1921 in spite of Jinnahs opposition. It was so disastrous that the riots that followed saw 1500 Hindu-s being massacred and 2000 converted to Islam at sword-point. ‘Mahatma’ was devilish in eulogising those marauders and welcomed their actions openly.
In 1926, Swami Sraddhananda was brutally slain by one Abdul Rashid. ‘Mahatma’ called the murderer ‘My Dear Brother’ and condemned nationalistic movement of the Swami in spite of the fact that it was at the instance of the Swami that his estranged son Hiralal Gandhi had reverted to Hinduism from Islam. Sense of gratitude never occurred to him at all.
‘Mahatma’ called Guru Govinda Singhji, Maharana Pratap, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, ‘misguided patriots’ as if he was the only one rightly guided, Udham Singh as an ‘insane person’ !!
‘Mahatma’ advised Maharaja Hari Singh of Jammu & Kashmir to take Sannyasa, go to Kasi and do penance for ruling over a kingdom with Muslim majority !! At the same time, ‘Mahatma’ had no hesitation in supporting brutish rule of Nizam in Hyderabad over a Hindu majority. What a great Soul was he !!
‘Mahatma’ honoured Mohammed Ali Jinnah with the title of Quaid-e-Azam !! ‘Mahatma’ supported carving out of Pakistan in his publication ‘Harijan’ dated April 6, 1940. Indeed, through his other artices, ‘Mahatma’ encouraged Muslims to demand Pakistan and forced even Sardara Patel to fall in line.
In 1931 when saffron flag with Carkha at its centre was decided to be the Congress flag by the Flag Committee, ‘Mahatma’ insisted that to be Tirangaalone as Tiranga has green colour too.
Sardara Patel was elected President at the Lahora Congress yet edged out by the ‘Mahatma’ who brought in Nehru as his better replacement. ‘Mahatma’ had the right premonition that Nehru and his dynasty would destroy the country better ! He selected Jawaharlal Nehru to take over as first Prime Minister of the country, overlooking administrative talent and nationalistic zeal of Sardara Patel. Out of 16 Pradesh Congress Committees, 15 demanded Sardara Patel as Prime Minister while only one demanded JB Kripalani !! None for Nehru at all !!! Even then this anti-Hindu ‘Mahatma’ vetoed in favour of Nehru !!! Why was ‘Mahatma’ so much enamoured of Nehru ? Why did ‘Mahatma’ raise so many bogies in favour of Nehru ? Why did he scuttle patriotic Netaji Bose at every crucial turning point of freedom movement and history ?
On June 14, AICC was to reject proposal of partition of the country yet ‘Mahatma’ lent his high octane support and saw to it that the resolution was passed. It was his duplicity and treachery of the worst order as he had declared earlier, country could be divided only on his dead body. Finally, country was really divided over his dead body but ensured by someone else in addition to thirty lakh dead bodies of innocent migrants !!
It was at the instance of the ‘Mahatma’ that 23% Muslim population was conceded 32% of country’s land.
Jinnah demanded complete exchange of population after partition and ‘Mahatma’ spiked it. Thereafter, it has been a perpetual riotous friction between Hindu-s and Muslims of the country since then.
When Hindu refugees coming from Pakistan took shelter in Masjids, it was at ‘Mahatmas’ insistence that they were kicked out in the open, exposed to rain and cold as he regarded Namaz of Muslims more important than security and comfort of Hindu-s. So the ‘Mahatma’ was monstrously great !!
Nehrus Cabinet rejected the demand of Rs. 55 Crores to Pakistan as recommended by the last British intruder, Mountbatten. On Oct. 22, 1947, ‘Mahatma’ sat on ‘Fast Unto Death’ to pressurise Government to remit the amount to Pakistan in cahoots with the then Viceroy Mountbatten though UN Charter explicitly stated to the contrary. ‘Mahatma’ also vehemently supported Jinnahs demand of 10 mile wide Islamic corridor from Lahora to Dacca via Delhi and he was determined to protest-march to Pakistan of Feb. 3 before being slain on Jan. 30, 1950.
When Union Cabinet passed a resolution to renovate Somnatha Mandira, ‘Mahatma’ insisted on it’s withdrawal and supported renovation of Masjids in Delhi. On Jan.13, 1948, ‘Mahatma’ sat down on fast for that purpose alone.
‘Mahatma’ vociferously opposed the demand to ban cow-slaughter. Was he really a Hindu ?
‘Mahatma’ did his best to destroy Hindi language by directing all to convert it into ‘Hindustani’ by introducing Urdu words in wholesale. What a great linguist was he !!
It was at the instance of ‘Mahatma’ alone that Vande Mataram could not be adopted as national anthem though he appreciated it for its beauty and supported it for the same. However he opposed it the moment he learned, Muslims did not approve of it.
‘Mahatma’ was instrumental in sacrificing thousands of soldiers fighting for British during World War-I in the hope of extracting concessions as quid pro quo. Not only a monumental political blunder but also was his monumental stupidity and political immaturity being exposed ruthlessly. During World War II, ‘Mahatma’ wanted Indian soldiers to fight for the British, tormentors, rapists and plunderers of our nation again. Who says he was not an Apostle Of Peace and Ahimsa !!
‘Mahatma’ always preached non-violence to Hindu-s alone !! Never to Muslims as he had no guts in his groins to do that. Strangely he behaved in Noakhali-1946 riots where thousands of Hindu-s were looted, raped and killed. ‘Mahatma’ arrived on dot to save Muslims from retaliation by Hindu-s, even honoured Suhrawardy as ‘Shaheed’. He always used to rush in to ‘Fast unto death’ to prevent Hindu-s from retaliating on Muslims but never when Muslims used to perpetrate brutal savagery on Hindu-s.
During his ‘prayer’ rendezvous on May 1, 1947, he advised Hindu-s and Sikhs for the anticipated massacres in upcoming Pakistan, “I would tell the Hindus to face death cheerfully if the Muslims are out to kill them. I would be a real sinner if after being stabbed I wished in my last moment that my son should seek revenge. I must die without rancour. You may turn round and ask whether all Hindus and all Sikhs should die. Yes, I would say. Such martyrdom will not be in vain.” (Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi, vol.LXXXVII, p.394-5). He had even advised Hindu refugees to go back to Pakistan and allow themselves to be slaughtered. It is an instance of macabre morbidity of masochistic surrender before gangs of compulsive murderers.
With his damned Dandi-March for ‘Namak-Andolan’, ‘Mahatma’ exposed poor, undernourished, malnourished, emaciated people to brutal ‘lathis’ of British-Indian Police while he himself received not a single lathi-blow at all as he was immediately arrested.
‘Mahatma’ had no shame in preaching Koran sitting on pulpits of temples and Valmiki colonies, eve under Police protection. However, he had no guts to preach Bhagvadgita in premises of Masjids.
Why after all did the ‘Mahatma’ support Muslims so blindly ? One Mir Alam had mercilessly beaten him to pulp in South Africa on Feb. 10, 1908 as the ‘Mahatma’ had condemned Muslims for not supporting him in his crusade against oppressive colourless Caucasian regime of that country in a very harsh language. After that thrashing by Muslims, ‘Mahatma’ became an ardent votary of Muslim causes. This incident has also been confirmed by Dr. Ambedkar too. The spineless coward in ‘Mahatma’ was exposed bare as a liliputian.
‘Mahatma’ was known to practise a very strange kind of Brahmacarya, probably never seen or heard before by anyone. Probably he was too confident of ‘Khadi’ condoms that he used to spin and weave himself for the ascetic pursuit in which lot many people evinced intense curiosity !! A black and white photograph showing his wife Kasturba Gandhi washing his feet, is displayed in his birth-home at Porbandar. When his wife suffered from pneumonia, he did not allow her to take Penicillin as it was not an indigenous medicine and he was obsessed with Swadesi Andolana while she died a few days later. On the contrary, when ‘Mahatma’ himself suffered from malaria, he gladly accepted Quinine to cure himself though like Penicillin, it was not an indigenous medicine at all. So much about his attitude, aptitude towards his wife and women as well as his extreme hypocrisy.
Mahatma’ was a hard-core racist too. He had actively assisted South African racist regime in their brutal exercise of crushing South African Blacks which enamoured the oppressive white regime abundantly. They selected him to move to British occupied Bharata to mislead, confuse and destroy freedom struggle through his fraudulent doctrine of Ahimsa. With his dubious tactics, he delayed attainment of freedom by at least 30 to 50 years.
In addition to ‘Mahatma’, he was also anointed as ‘Father of the Nation’ by British-occupiers whom he was so fond of. ‘Father of the Nation’ of this ancient nation, hundreds of thousands of years old, raised by scores of Rsi-s, Maharsi-s, Muni-s, Siddha Yogi-s and Avatara-s !!
It is not that ‘Mahatma’s’ contribution to freedom movement was zero. Even his Quit India movement was shabbily and half-heartedly managed. He merely kept the cauldron of freedom movement percolating while maximum, decisive credit to attain freedom goes to Netaji Bose and his Indian National Army. So also declared by the ex-British Prime Minister Clement Attlee in Kolikata thereafter. He could have genuinely contributed rather influenced monumentally had he offered to immolate himself as a mark of protest against partition. He did not as he was not against partition in heart of hearts because Bharata could not be declared an Islamic State. Mercifully, “Mahatma” was forced to exit the world otherwise a few more states would have been handed over to Pakistan. Gopal Godse, elder brother of his “Liberator” Nathuram Godse and a co-accused, certified that the ‘Mahatma’ did not utter “Hey Rama !” at all after bullets were pumped into his body. And his dubious legacy continues. We do not know how long it will.
