Nowadays, it is said by critics of Gandhi that Clement Atlee made a statement in which he said that Gandhi had ‘minimal’ role in India's independence and he gave credits to naval mutinies and with this statement they conclude the whole freedom struggle. This is one of the most flawed arguments put by his critics. Let’s debunk this so-called statement.
Many people say that Gandhi fasted everywhere but did not fast to stop the partition. 'Why didn't Gandhi sit on a fast against Jinnah?' Those who say so probably do not know about Gandhiji's policy of fasting. Gandhi has told on this too.
In December 1916, Mahatma Gandhi was approached by a man from Champaran with a request to fight British indigo planters there. Gandhi was not sure about the project. He did not know about the exploitative indigo cultivation. Nor had he even heard about the place. He eventually agreed to visit Champaran but only for two days.
Gandhi lived one of the great 20th-century lives. He inspired and enraged, challenged and delighted many million men and women around the world. He lived almost entirely in the shadow of the British Raj, which for much of his life seemed a permanent fact, but which he did more than anyone else to destroy, using revolutionary and inspirational tactics. In a world defined by violence on a scale never imagined before and by ferocious Fascist and Communist dictatorship, he was armed with nothing more than his arguments and example.
Brahmacharya - popularly but wrongly, described by its partial meaning of sexual abstinence - was inseparably interlinked with Gandhi's pursuit to truth and non-violence. The main goal of Gandhi was to gain moksha that is self - realisation as he said in the preface of his autobiography. His self-searching attitude had led him to believe that a seeker must pursue truth and non-violence and brahmacharya simultaneously - the truth as the ultimate and inviolable goal, non-violence as the path to reach the goal and brahmacharya as a way of making oneself fit to travel along the path.
It is said about Mahatma Gandhi that he wanted to give a corridor between the two parts of Pakistan through India and a popular WhatsApp university pamphlet ‘claims’ (not my claim) this was the reason RSS was feared that Gandhi would cut motherland and so fanatic Nathuram Godse assassinated Mahatma Gandhi. (Some people said RSS has nothing to do with Godse, but I leave you to decide).
The Taliban's rise to power in Afghanistan has invited some serious mocking retorts which need to be answered. People are mocking charkha. "Send charkha to Afghanistan, Taliban would get scared and run away". In such times it is important to tell for what charkha really stood.
Negotiation and arbitration. Every effort to resolve the conflict or redress the grievance through established channels must be exhausted before further steps are undertaken.
