I was horrified by the madness of some people the other day. Somebody had posted a news-paper cutting of Godse (Nathuram ) in facebook where he says not to mix his ashes in any river (a Hindu tradition) till India, Pakistan are united (like before 1947). Such is the madness of the people however i just read it and i didn't commented on it because i don't want to argue with any one (u know the attitude of most of the S/W engineers (me too) and how weird they behave). The reason is simple, They doesn't like Gandhi. Gandhiji is appreciated/followed/liked/loved by many people all around the world. He is the Role model for many powerful leaders, successful people how ever most of the Indian's think that he is the reason for many on-going issues and the sad thing is most of the citizens of the "Great Country with a Rich heritage " doesn't have their own opinions and all they do is carry others opinion's.
Ghandiji, perhaps the only man i know who followed his religion as was told by God(mean Bhagavad Gita).I read his autobiography, "The story of my experiments with Truth".Awesome book.It explains the journey of an ordinary man called "Mohandas" who became "Mahatma" or "Father of my nation".It explains about a how a man who doesn't even weigh 100 pounds fought against the mighty British empire or how he sacrificed certain spices to overcome sexual pleasures or his confessions like how he want to be with his wife when his father was very ill and about to die or how he stopped wearing shirt so that he can get along with farmers or how he experimented several things on himself before preaching to others or how he never gave his belief even when he was on the death bed. He mentioned several times that "the problem of being a Mahatma is known only to Mahatma's".
People don't like him because of the separation of Pakistan however the fact is Its not in the hands of Gandhiji but it is with the British and they have to accept that the highly populated muslim area's which are represented by muslim league (present day Pakistan and Bangladesh) don't want to be a part of Hindu Majority Country.The second round table conference made that very clear that if they wish to grant independence then it has to grant two separate nations (such is the wish of minorities) instead of one or else the British rule will continue (a plan to foil the Independence movement and to create a rift internally which any one wont accept it).History say's that Gandhiji had even offered Prime minister ship to Jinnah and he accepted it readily however the fear of "Minority ruler in a Majority Hindu population" had made Gandhi to think otherwise (Nehru, Moulana Abul Kalam Azad and others convince him that deal is practically impossible and will create a backlash among the people).Lord Mountbatten openly commented that he doesnt knew that Jinnah is suffering from lung Cancer (during time of Independence) and stated that he never could have grated the separate statehood if he knew about that and the biggest looser is Pakistan (look at the state of the nation today).
The other thing is about Bhagad Singh and people feel that Gandhiji didn't intervened when he was ordered to hang.However the fact is, Gandhiji did raise the issue with then viceroy Lord Irwin who promptly rejected the plea saying that Gandhiji was using the Irwin pact to protect his political interests rather than for actual purpose.Gandhiji him self appriciated many times about Bhagat's and the others (sukhdev etc) patriotism.Gandhiji, even though a bitter pill for Britishers, with millions of supporters, had done every thing acceptable under British law and never had his interests above the governing law and even though the the death sentence was right he unsuccessfully did every thing for the commutation of the execution.
And one more reason may be his favoritism to-ward's the Muslims.Muslim's, aren't they Indian Citizens? or do we have to hate people based on religion ? Hindu Mahasabha (A organization in which Godse is a member) used to oppose muslim's because that they want a separate nation and their religious practices.Ok. Hinduism says that all you need is a guru/preacher/prophet and you need to follow him or simply u can be a Hindu and follow Jesus or Mohammad or Guru Nanak or any one you like as it's purpose is just a way to reach god.So being a Hindu, Gandhiji never opposed any one based on religion.Infact Islam came later to India and most of today muslim's ancestors are Indian's first and they have every right to live in this country.All the religions preach love (like Jesus said love your neighbor's like you love urself or Sikh Guru, Guru Govind Singhji fought against Muslim ruler Aurangzeb to stop hindu massacre).Aren't all religions are practices to reach god?.
Most of the people who don't like Gandhiji doesn't know any thing about him.All they do is carry other's opinions as theirs. If not non-violence, India could have lost half of its people to attain Independence because India is not a small country like Cuba or Chile to attain Independence through a revolution nor it is ruled by a single ruler so that a coup to dethrone him will achieve Independence.Look how Prabhakaran fought unsuccessfully for Tamil Eelam.
I was utterly disappointed because i never read about this Great man when i was in school or college.India has so many problem's and one such problem is because most of its citizen's are either cowards or they doesn't know how to fight. If every kid know about Gandhiji and follow his practices India will become a heaven.
lastly, the opinion, Gandhiji a selfish, is SUCH A LIE, because be it treating a leaper in his ashram or cleaning houses of harijan's or removing guest's and workers potty's in his home or preaching non-violence or any thing he did is based on his strong belief that "Service to mankind is service to GOD" which is the essence of Bhagavad Gita and i beg every one to read his Autobiography or know about him before judging him and every one who know and practice Bhagavad Gita call him a "SAGE"...
