Dear Friends,
Though Britain and the Empire emerged victorious from the Second World War, the effects of the conflict were profound, both at home and abroad. Much of Europe, a continent that had dominated the world for several centuries, was now in ruins, and host to the armies of the United States and the Soviet Union, to whom the balance of global power had now shifted. Britain was left virtually bankrupt, with insolvency only averted in 1946 after the negotiation of a $3.5 billion loan from the United States the last installment of which was repaid in 2006. In fact Britain had no other way but leave India. And they left. That is the one fact and history.
We know that if anyone encroach our property we will have to fight with them. If any one forcibly occupies our houses we will have to fight with them or die. Netaji tried to fight and England was frightened. They realized that had to go back. Cunning English men put Gandhi in the front and divided the country for their own benefit.
If ahimsa is so good why we have to maintain such a huge army. We deal with Pakistan and China with ahimsa.
“I wanted to be some one important. I went to England to become a barrister. I returned to my native place. I dressed like Britishers. I tried my luck with judiciary. As a lawyer I found myself a total failure. I was forced to take up a contract with a businessman at South Africa to do clerical work. I acted like an important man. I tried to travel with Englishmen in First Class. Unfortunately I was kicked out. I took a pledge. I will revenge. How ever there were no resources. Here I found it easy to fool the poor, ignorant and mostly illiterate people. I mesmerized them with my gimmicks -ahimsa for my selfish motto.
I was so bad. I treated my wife so cruelly. I forced her to clean toilets used by others even. I know that today if some one dares to treat his wife as badly as I did, the fellow will be imprisoned for life. When my wife was ill I did not permit English medicines. But when I fell ill I was to be treated with the same English medicines. I am Mahathma.
I used to sleep naked, along with naked virgins of 12 years and above. When others came to know of this I told them it is an experiment. I did not have any concern for these girl children or their parents. They were my experimental animals.
I treated all others as slaves. I wanted to be the commander in chief. If any one raised their voice I always subdued them. When Netaji was elected President of Congress I left because of that”. There is lot more.
There is something called repression in defense mechanism. The thoughts and deeds which are bad, sorrowful, disgusting, shameful on one’s part which we want to forget for ever. But some how occasionally it comes back to our memory and disturbs us. In a biography no one dare to mention such things. They mention only pleasant things putting one self at a higher level and thus cheat all others. If Gandhi submitted himself for hypnotizing we would have known better.
This is what I read recently.
I had high esteem for Gandhi. However of late the above circulated material makes it a little dull. Those who have studied Gandhi may be able to prove it otherwise. Can any body put some light on these matters and say those things are false propaganda please.
