Mahatma Gandhi: Destroyer of the Nation
I argue that Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) was a destroyer of the
nation (i.e. India) and moreover a threat to the national unity,
integrity, and progress. His threefold satanic legacy is
constituted of his: 1. Principle of non-violence and
misconception of truth 2. Idea of primordial lifestyle 3.
Self-centred dictatorship All these three points are quite
interwoven and ultimately support how he would have continued to
destroy the nation.
1. Gandhi wrongly thought that the principle of non-violence is
a truth. The former is rather a moral viewpoint which is
relativistic and fundamentally pseudo or absurd. 2. The idea of
primordial lifestyle is quite backward and unworkable as it
tends to suppress the natural human instinct to make progress.
3. An example depicts that Gandhi considered his own interests
to be over and above national interests. He had the power to
save the lives of three Indian freedom fighters namely Rajguru,
Sukhdev, and Bhagat Singh. However, considering their popularity
he did not utilise his power.
The points 2 and 3 themselves suggest how Gandhi was a threat to
the nation. Moreover, when all of them combine they come up with
a distinct satanic picture.
Mohammad Ali Jinnah blackmailed Gandhi that if he did not allow
him to have separate Muslim state (i.e. Pakistan) the country
will have to face a civil war. Gandhi in return blackmailed
Indians with his principle of Satyagraha and allow Jinnah to
create separate Pakistan thus dividing or destroying India. Now
there were many other existing and/or prospective separatist
groups in Punjab, Kashmir, Assam, South India, Maharashtra and
rather all over India who would have succeeded in creating their
own states by blackmailing fellow Indians through Gandhi, thus
diving India into pieces.
Let us now compare this hypothetical situation with Europe.
Europe is not one country but is constituted of separate
countries like Britain, France, Spain, Germany, etc. with
different ethnic origins. Say India is of the size of Europe and
the European countries are like the Indian states. Quite
apparently European countries are capable enough to govern
themselves and be developed but Indian states are not capable to
be separate nations in the highly globalized world. However,
Gandhi could have been happy with this idea as it is rather in
harmony with his idea of primordial lifestyle and society. The
father of the nation would have become the destroyer of the
nation. Moreover, after Gandhi was killed by a Hindu
(Kokanastha: those from the west cost of Maharashtra) Brahmin,
many, many innocent Brahmins were assassinated by the followers
of Gandhi (just because they were Brahmins). They even did not
care to see if those Brahmins were ever against Gandhi or not.
Is this the kind of impact Gandhi had on his followers ? Is this
the legacy of the father of the nation ? Thus, M K Gandhi was a
pseudointellectual and a selfish pacific extremist, terrorist,
and dictator.
