Vasudeva Sri Krsna is the real and first proponent of Ahimsa and Satyagraha in a perverse and restive situation while all others just mimicked Him in a crude manner thereafter leading to disasters and catastrophes. Sri Krsna tried his best to avoid the fratricidal blood-shed, went to the extent of accepting mere five villages on behalf of Pandava-s. That was the splendid way of practising Satyagraha in its real import.
When the sanguinary battle was ultimately thrust upon, He picked up the gauntlet, did not allow Arjuna to retreat from the battlefield (unlike Nehru in 1947, Shastri in 1965, Indira Gandhi in 1971 at Shimla), did not allow Arjuna to treat Bhisma as his grand-sire in the battlefield, administered most appropriate and effective tit for every tat of Kauarava-s even to the extent of lifting a chariot-wheel to combat in spite of His solemn resolve not to indulge in the battle Himself…his saga is too well known and too marvellous, too outstanding, too astonishing to be effectively recounted here threadbare. Sri Krsna perfectly understood the philosophy of Ahimsa and practised it in its real manifest. I am not aware of any other persona who had such a deep conviction and understanding of Ahimsa, in its most practical manifest, could enforce it in letter and spirit on such a massive scale.
On the contrary, MK Gandhi preached Hindu-s to offer second cheek after every Islamic slap on the first, advised Hindu-s to be raped, plundered and even murdered by them (that is why Muslims/Islamists love and support him so much in the name of secularism), did not have guts to rebuff discourteous and rude Jinnah, did not instruct or advise Nehru to go ahead with exchange of population after the worst Hindu-holocaust in history of Partition-1947…always advised Hindu-s to remain submissive, abject, pathetic, naked, begging all around, malnourished and undernourished … preached Gita very selectively…always opposed Hindu organizations while kept mum on Muslim League and their atrocious conduct. He was allergic to one of the greatest organizations in world i.e. RSS like a paranoid, called Bhagat Singh a misguided terrorist …supported Ali Brothers of Khilafat movement. Had he remained alive, he would not have allowed Sardar Patel to carry out the operation against Nizam of Hyderabad and those Hindu-s of Hyderabad would have continued being tormented for long…so excessively timid and apologetic was he. His catalogue of sins and lost opportunities is very long indeed.
Do you believe any other country would have tolerated so much anti-majority anti-nationalism ? What would have been his fate in a country like China or in a Muslim country ? Let memory of this so-called ‘Mahatma’ be buried deep in Pakistani sewers. He cannot be the role model of a dynamic, vibrant and prosperous Bharatvarsa, leave behind the accolade of ‘Father of the Nation’.
It is Sri Krsna who is the real champion of Ahimsa and Satyagraha. When every trick of Ahimsa fails, it is mandatory to pick-up Gandiva and register a crushing blow to inimical foes. Then the blow should be so strong that unrighteous ones are completely destroyed instead of allowing them to survive by invoking pardon, followed by every possibility of an eventual recurrence of the same or more heinous offences as history chronicles witnessed in the case of Prthviraj Chauhan and Ghori. And that is the real wisdom and lesson enshrined in BGita and not those Bhaktiyoga, Rajayoga, Moksa etc. albeit Sri Krsna did explain all that in respose to specific questions of Arjuna which went a long way to highlight unquestionable uniqueness of Karmayoga. BGita is a treatise of Karmayoga alone, establishes supremacy of Karmayoga categorically. Entire universe is a manifest of Karmayoga and Param Brhmatma is Karmayoga-incarnate Himself. It’s the most practical guide for humanity to exist in the world, how to steer amidst the ocean of Adharma wrought by Asura-s successfully without being traumatised.
