Was Gandhi a Mahatma ?
Was Gandhi a Mahatma ?
Considering Gandhi's confused thinking, irrelevant philosophy, his ways of distorting the truth, unprincipled attitude, lakhs of innocent Hindus dying all because of his doing and the turmoil caused to lakhs of Hindus left adrift due to his irresponsible behaviour, one is compelled to ask the question, "Was Gandhi a Mahatma in the real sense?"
Was complying with the irrational demands of the Muslims, harbouring a hatred towards Subhashchandra Bose, supporting the Khilafat movement, all befitting the Mahatma's title? - P.P. Kane Maharaj, Narayangaon, District Pune, Maharashtra.
Gandhi: Hypocritical Hindutva !
1. Hypocritical Hindutva
Gandhi read the Koran in a Hindu Temple!
The atrocious oppression of Hindus in Naukhali during the rule of (the then Chief Minister of Bengal) Surawardy in mid 1946 made our blood boil. Ignoring the protests of the priest he insisted on reading a passage of the Koran as part of the prayer meeting

1. 'The Mahabharat is mythological', said Gandhi!
Gandhi's picture where he is dressed in a loincloth, with a copy of the Bhagwad Gita at his side - is a common sight throughout India. Gandhi did not accept Sri Krishna as God, but as a man with exceptional qualities.
Gandhi believed that Mahabhaharat was a work of fiction and that it did not actually take place. He said, 'Pandav's and Kaurav's are in reality the conflict between good and bad tendencies within us. Pandav's are the good tendencies and Kauravs, the bad ones',
In the Eleventh Chapter of Gita, it is said that Lord Krishna shows His formidable form to Arjuna. According to Gandhi this chapter was interpolated, meaning that it was not there in the original Gita and that someone appended it later. The same Gandhi, it is said, discovered 'Yoga of non-attachment' from the same Bhagwad Gita! It is said that he discovered Satyagraha from Gita as well!
'Burn the treatises on Gita, which do not acknowledge Lord Krishna to be the Supreme God.' - Gurudev, Dr. Kaate Swami ji (Ghangarjit, January 2006)

2. Gandhi said, 'Idols of Deities do not have any powers'!
(Mahatma?) Gandhi said, 'the Idols of Deities do not have any powers. It is very dangerous to believe that the idol which is prayed to and worshiped, protects the devotee and that it cures him of physical and emotional ailments.'
His words are - 'The belief in the curative powers of idols is dangerous' (Truth Vol. I P, 359) Understand how dangerous is Gandhi himself. We should pity Gandhi.
'It is a shameful for Hindus that Hindu Gandhi was responsible for shattering the faith of Hindus.' - Gurudev Dr. Kaate swami ji (Ghangarjit, May 2005)
[^Top]
3. Gandhi - Destroyer of Hindu traditions!
Gandhi used to say, 'A pure hearted person can explain the true meaning of our Scriptures!' On this premise he destroyed Hindu Traditions. This is Gandhi's explanation!
In his commentary the Dutch missionary Elst writes, 'The theologians versed in Sanskrit grammar and scriptures are not the best guides to interpret the text? What right did Gandhi have in asking Hindus to behave against the Scriptures?
- Gurudev Dr. Kaate swami ji (Ghangarjit, April 2005)
[^Top]
4. Gandhi, Nehru and their Congress - responsible for Atheist Hindus!
It is because of Gandhi, Nehru and their Congress that secularism was fabricated and God and righteousness were thrown out of our Constitution and Governance. The atheist attitude seeped into every sector all over the country.
There was an egoistic propaganda that since Science had to a large extent destroyed our faith in God and religion, therefore Science is God. - Gurudev Dr. Kaate swami ji (Ghangarjit, August 2005)
[^Top]
5. Gandhi opposed Science and the Hindu religion!
“It is a lie that Gandhi brought to the fore Charkha, Khadi andcottage industry to check the process of modernization and so promoted the Hindu culture. The Charkha does not find mention anywhere in ancient literature. It has no place in Sanatan Hindu culture. The Charkha, spinning yarn, and Khadi were meant to support the approach, 'We will spin our Charkha to win our Independence'. This idea was borrowed from the Western writer Tolstoy. Gandhi's promotion of cottage industry etc. was in opposition to Modernization. He brought the Charkha to check Modernization. All this is anti-Hindu. Hindustan was far advanced in Science and Technology over thousands of years. There is no difference between scientific progress and the spirituality of a Hindu.' - Gurudev Dr. Kaate swami ji (Ghangarjit, January 2006)

6. Gandhi read the Koran in a Hindu Temple!
The atrocious oppression of Hindus in Naukhali during the rule of (the then Chief Minister of Bengal) Surawardy in mid 1946 made our blood boil. And when Gandhi sided with the same Surawardy and addressed him as 'Shahid Saheb' (a martyr) later in his prayer meetings, our shame and anger knew no bounds. When Gandhi went to Delhi he held his prayer meetings in a temple in the sweepers colony. Ignoring the protests of the priest he insisted on reading a passage of the Koran as part of the prayer meeting. It was easy for him to trample upon the feelings of the tolerant Hindus.
I wanted to prove to Gandhi that his approach was wrong and wanted to convince him that if Hindu honour was trampled upon, the Hindus could become intolerant. - Shri. Nathuram Godse
(Ref: Panchavan Kotinche Bali' ('Slaughter of 55 crores'), Author : Shri. Gopal Godse)

7. Gandhi's efforts to make Hindus learn Urdu instead of Sanskrut / Mother tongue
Gandhi's policy of Muslim appeasement can be easily seen by his love for Urdu. Gandhi took the initiative to "father" a new language called as "Hindusthani"(urdu). First he announced his intentions of spreading "Hindi". Then began his rattle of "Hindi and Hindusthani" being one and the same. Everyone then knew that there isn't any such language called "Hindusthani". That so called language had neither any grammar nor vocabulary ! It was nothing but a local spoken language, a child of Hindi and Urdu. Gandhi urged that Hindusthani be the National Language of Hindusthan. Owing to the strange language, verbal perversions like "Badshah Ram", "Begum Seeta" and "Ustad Vasisht" began to get propagated and Gandhi surprisingly encouraged them. Then began Gandhi's encouragement to learn Urdu, as Hindusthani and Urdu were only "slightly" different. Unfortunately for Gandhi and his secularist gang, the Hindu Populace still had strong sentiments for Sanskrut and the Hindi Parishad marked Gandhi's doom as a linguisitic politician, wherein he had to resign.
(Authors : Gopal Godse and Balarao Savarkar)

Gandhi's Silence on JalianwalaBaug Massacre!
1. Gandhi's verbal abuse!
What was expected from Gandhi's concept of non-violence was non-violence not only in action but in thought, word as well as deed. Though Gandhi was non-violent in his actions he practised violence through his words. When Kasturba washed Dr. Dev's loin cloth (dhoti) he scolded her. In personal letters he abused Gokhale and Bharat sevaks. In a meeting at Ahemdabad the language he used for Lokmanya Tilak and Malviya, his threatening Dr. Devdhar through a letter, cannot be called as non-violence!
( Ref- Shodh Mahatma Gandhincha Vol-1; author- Arun Sarathi )
[^Top]
2. With regard to non- violence Gandhi had different rules for himself and for others !
2.1 Gandhi's play upon words and contradictory conduct regarding non-violence
Gandhi promoted non-violence(?). Non-violence according to him was avoiding violence in thought, action and deed. However, there were many contradictions regarding this philosophy of Gandhi. Gandhi had to modify his words and actions many a time to suit his non-violence. His play with words was steeped in hypocrisy! ( Ref- Shodh Mahatma Gandhincha Vol-1 and 2; author- Arun Sarathi )
2.2 Gandhi advised, "Do not damage the Britisher's statue with a chisel and hammer, but fling muck on it!'
In Madras, Satyagraha was going on to remove the statue of a Britisher named Neil. Ousting the statue meant hurting it so Gandhi said, "If you can oust the statue by non-violent means then only I consent to it." However during the night when the police were not alert one of the swayamsevaks broke the statue's leg with a chisel and hammer. When Gandhi came to know about this, he issued an order that henceforth no one should participate in Satyagraha with a hammer. When his followers questioned him on what they should carry while approaching the statue?" he answered, "Carry muck balls along with you and keep on flinging them on the statue until the police arrest you." This meant that the hammer harmed the statue but the muck balls did not. (Ref: Gandhi gondhal, author: Swatantra Veer. Savarkar)
2.3 Gandhi who opposed vaccination for small pox and allowed the children to die!
In 1930 three children from Gandhi's ashram died due to small pox. This troubled many of Gandhi's friends and they requested Gandhi to get all the ashram inmates vaccinated. Gandhi rejected the proposal on the grounds that it would be violence of killing the small pox virus. Thus leaving others to fend for themselves he replied, "When the principles I followed throughout my life are being tested how can I turn my back on them? Should I compromise with my principles just because several children are succumbing to this disease?" Where had Gandhi's values gone when he underwent an appendix operation? (Ref: Shodh Mahatma Gandhincha, Vol-2, author- Arun Sarathi )
2.4 Gandhi advised "Do not kill snakes, but kill rabid dogs!"
Even though a snake bites you must not kill it; was what Gandhi advised. However when rabid dogs created havoc he ordered them to be killed. " To avoid non-violence on a large scale, violence on a small scale is permissible," was what he said when giving the order to kill the dogs. Then why shouldn't snakes be killed for the same reason? Gandhi put forth questions with great conceit but while replying to the above question he answered, "Snakes are useful in fields because they devour rats." Is it not violence to kill rats through snakes? Is it a nobleman's job to employ robbers to commit robbery? (Ref: Ksha Kirane, author - Swatantra Veer. Savarkar)
2.5 Since drinking milk is also violence, Gandhi had goats' milk instead of cows' milk!
According to Gandhi, drinking milk was also violence as it is formed from blood. Hence, he gave up milk; but when he was advised to consume milk due to medical reasons he started consuming goats' milk. So is goats' milk not formed from blood? Is it formed from pure Gangajal? (Ref: Ksha Kirane, author- Swatantra Veer. Savarkar )
2.6 Gandhi asked, "What right do humans have to kill rats causing plague?"
When the plague epidemic broke out, the rats were killed to save humans. Gandhi while speaking at Behra in Borsad taluka said,"In Borsad, a few days ago there was havoc caused by plague. The measures, which you implemented, included killing rats. You killed hundreds of rats, but I ask you, what right do you have to kill the rats so that you can save yourself? Do rats not have life? At least non-violent individuals like me will prefer to die ourselves, rather than kill the rats." (Ref: Ksha Kirane, author- Swatantra Veer. Savarkar )
2.7 Gandhi who killed a calf by shooting it, when it was writhing in pain!
A calf was writhing in pain. Gandhi took pity on it and got it shot. Is this compassion for living beings! If at all it is, it could be called comparatively less violence, rather than compassion. (Ref: Ksha Kirane, author- Swa. Savarkar )
2.8 Gandhi who intended to sacrifice his son!
During the non-cooperation movement Gandhi called his son Devdas to Mumbai. He declared that he had called Devdas to Mumbai for a specific reason. He had decided to sacrifice Devdas, in case riots broke out again. Could there be worse violence than this from someone who propagated non- violence? (Ref: Shodh Mahatma Gandhincha, Vol-2, author- Arun Sarathi)
[^Top]
3. Gandhi's rules of non-violence applicable to himself
3.1 Gandhi ordered monkeys playing mischief in his garden to be killed!
Once monkeys created turmoil in Gandhi's garden. At that time Gandhi declared openly that violence was imperative and took measures accordingly. Were the lives of thousands of farmers dying due to plague or those dying from small pox, less valuable than bananas in Gandhi's garden? Killing monkeys to protect bananas was justified, but administering vaccines to save lives of physicians and people or killing rats to prevent plague though necessary, was condemnable! . (Ref: Ksha Kirane, author- Swatantra Veer. Savarkar )
3.2 When Gandhi suffered from malaria he had medicine to kill its germs!
When Gandhi suffered from malaria he visited the hospital and had medicine to kill germs of malaria thus protecting his health. However when others had to be vaccinated to prevent small pox it was against his principles! (Ref: Ksha Kirane, author- Swatantra Veer. Savarkar )
3.3 When Gandhi suffered from appendicitis he consulted the surgeon and got himself operated
When Gandhi himself suffered from appendicitis, he realised that his life was endangered due to the infection and immediately called for the surgeon. He who had boasted that he would die instead of killing rats causing plague killed millions of organisms to save himself! (Ref: Ksha Kirane, author- Swatantra Veer. Savarkar)
3.4 When a pleader said, "Let me meet Gandhi or else I shall die at the door." Gandhi replied, "Let him die!"
On the issue of entering the Guruvayur temple in Kerala the religious sentiments of some people were hurt and they went on a fast. One of them said, "Let me meet Gandhi, or else I shall die at the door, hungry." Gandhi blatantly replied, "I do not care on how many of you die! I am not going to drawback my agitation. Even if your life will be saved just by my meeting you, I am not going to save it! I shall meet you as per my own wish, not otherwise!" The satyagrahis had to suffer extreme stress as well as hunger. Can this be called selfless non-violence?
(Ref: Ksha Kirane, author- Swatantra Veer. Savarkar)
3.5 According to Gandhi, violence was justified only to save his own life!
In the literature edited by Gandhi, in the volumes 91 and 96 entitled " The concept of the sword" he has expounded non-violence. In 1908, Gandhi was brutally attacked in South Africa. In that context he writes, "When my eldest son asked me what would have been appropriate for him to do had he been present when I was brutally attacked in 1908, I told him that it would be his duty to protect me even if he had to resort to violence." How can the follower of non-violence tolerate being protected by committing violence? (Ref: Shodh Mahatma Gandhincha, Vol-1, author- Arun Sarathi )
3.6 The battles in which this worshipper of non-violence participated on the side of the British
a. Zulu War
The British attacked Zulu land. The Zulus had not interfered nor were related in any way to India. Not only this, Gandhi was not able to understand what wrong they had caused to the British, yet he participated in this war as a British volunteer. The British continued killing the Zulus with ultimate cruelty, and Gandhi kept watching this. It was clearly evident that the British were encroaching upon the freedom of the Zulus, yet he did not resign from this task of being a volunteer.
(Ref: Gandhi Gondhal; author: Swatantra Veer. Savarkar)
b. The Boer war
Later on, the British mounted an attack on the Boers to seize their freedom. During that time too Gandhi forcibly joined the British army as a volunteer. Taking along 5-50 people with him he joined the army. The whole world condemned the British when they won against the Boers and sympathized with the Boers. The British honoured those who had smeared their hands killing the Boers. Gandhi was also awarded a medal in the process. He too proudly wore that chain of slavery around his neck. (Ref: Gandhi Gondhal; author :Sw. Savarkar)
c. First World War
During the First World War, Tilak's national party was struggling intellectually in Pattangan to seize as many rights from the British on one hand while on the other hand the 'Abhinav Bharatiya Kranti Paksh party' (of Swatantra Veer. Savarkar) was trying its level best to snatch away the royal kingship which was the source of all rights. At this juncture Gandhi collected around 80 individuals and went on sending applications to be able to volunteer in the war on the side of the British. In order to kill the Germans in war at the hands of Bharatiyas, Gandhi became a recruiting officer, enrolling the poor Indian farmers in the slaughter house of the British army.
(Ref: Gandhi Gondhal; author: Swatantra Veer. Savarkar)
Gandhi went about villages toiling hard to recruit people. People often asked him, "You are a follower of non-violence, isn't it? Then why are you expecting us to take up arms? What has the Government done to benefit Hindustan, that you are asking us to fight for them? "
This same Gandhi condemned Swatantra Veer. Savarkar as "recruitveer" when he summoned the Hindus to join the army during the Second World War.
(Ref: Shodh Mahatma Gandhincha, Vol-1, author- Arun Sarathi)
[^Top]
4. Union of Violence with Non-Violence (Ahimsa)?
Gandhi who was a proponent of Ahimsa, suprisingly united with Shaukat Ali, who was famous for his bloodshed in the name of Islam. Shaukat Ali was the most active promoter of armed Jihad in the Khilafat movement. He never declared he would adopt Ahimsa.
(Shodh Gandhincha - Arun Sarathi)
[^Top]
5. Gandhi's Silence on JalianwalaBaug Massacre
By Lucknow pact, Gandhi had actually pushed the muslims who had entered the mainstream society back to the Islamic fanatic middle ages. The British jailed the then leader of Khilafat movement, Maulana Mohammed Ali. But the British terror was so much, that no muslim even protested let alone begin riots. Gandhi approved of the Islamic Fundamentalist concepts of Hijr, Jihad and Bloody revolution as orders of the Quran as well as the concepts of Kafir and Shahadat. The only person who had opposed this was Barrister Jinna, and he had also accepted political retirement for the same. Soon after, the muslims got into the habit of rioting which they use even today.
So much for the 'Khilafat', yet, When the Jalianwala Baug Massacre took place, Gandhi did not even utter a word against the killings until after 6 months !
(Ref : Shodh Gandhincha, by Arun Sarathi)
3. Anti National Gandhi!
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel has mentioned the following reasons for killing Gandhi
Muslims were stopped by Hindus in places like Bihar, Calcutta and Punjab, yet the Congress, lodged police complaints and imprisoned Hindus who showed the courage of stopping Muslims. Gandhi granted 55 crores to Pakistan ! ... Read More Anti National Gandhi!
Anti National Gandhi!Gandhi's cold war with Jinna
1. Jinna was earlier a proponent of Nationalism. He was a supporter of Lokamanya Tilak and even accepted Namdar Gokhale as his Guru. He even refused to lead the anti-National Khilafat movement due to which Staunch Islamists were against Jinna.
2. Jinna wanted to bring the muslims into the modern mainstream society minus their fundamentalist ideology. For the same he took the lead in Lucknow pact of 1916. It was only in 1916 and due to combined efforts of Tilak and Jinna that the muslims participated not as Muslims but as Nationals. Jinna's modern outlook was instrumental in fostering a new wave of Nationalism minus the Quran among the muslims. This was unfortunately the last time the muslims participated from a Nationalist perspective. Gandhi broke this pact in 1920 and in his excessive greed for Muslim leadership converted Khilafat into a National movement giving a free hand to Fundamentalist Fanatical muslims and discouraging Jinna's modern outlook.
3. In 1920 Jinna was the only Nationalist Muslim who opposed the Khilafat Movement ! In the meeting held in 1920, Gandhi upheld the views of the fanatic muslims like Mohammed Ali. Jinna was insulted in this meeting by Mohammed Ali and his Zoroastrian Wife's short clothes were made fun of. Mohammed Ali even abused Jinna's wife openly in the meeting. Gandhi was observing all this 'Tamasha' quietly. He did not feel it in conformance to principle of 'Satya' and 'Ahimsa' to put brakes to Mohammed Ali's fanatical bickering. Gandhi enjoyed Jinna's insult.
Gandhi did not give the leadership of Muslim League to Jinna who was senior to even Gandhi himself. instead he made Mohammed Ali within three years and Maulana Azad (1940) who chose to remain under Gandhi as the leaders. Both were fanatical muslims. Jinna who was angered therefore demanded Pakistan in 1940. So far, no one had demanded a separate Nation. Hence, soon after Jinna demanded Pakistan, even the fanatical muslims immediately relished the idea and joined hands with Jinna. The Gandhian Muslims who were a part of congress kept silent and Gandhi got a dose of his own politics. While it is often mentioned in History text books of how Jinna was adamant in demanding Pakistan, it is never mentioned why he did so. In hiding these facts, the History text books managed by the Education Ministers of Congress Governments, the Congress Governments have done injustice to the Nationalist sentiments of the freedom fighters. Gandhi became a Mahatma at the cost of Hindu Blood and Splitting of Bharat!
Why Nathuram Godse slayed Gandhi
Nathuram slayed the father of Pakistan not of Bharat
Bharat owed to Pakistan a debt of 55 Crores whereas Pakistan owed to Bharat a debt of Rs. 300 Crores. Government had already decided to recover Rs. 245 Crores from Pakistan. Gandhi began a fast unto death and made Pakistan free of debt of Rs. 245 crores it owed to India on the basis of which, Pakistan managed to attack Kashmir for the first time after Independence! Nathuram Godse then slayed Gandhi on 30th January. Shri Ram Manohar Lohiya said, "Nathuram's way was wrong, yet the reasons for his agitation were right and factual. The egos of leaders especially those of Mahatma's are terrible! ". The interesting point to note is that Nathuram Godse was himself a Satyagrahi and an ardent follower of Gandhi's Harijan seva. He had actively participated in inter-caste Marriage and functions of Dalits. He was in short a Satyagrahi and a Dalit Activist.
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel has mentioned the following reasons for killing Gandhi
1.
At the time when Hindu Blood was flowing freely in Punjab, Independence Day was celebrated on 15th August 1947 like Deepawali.
2.
Muslims were stopped by Hindus in places like Bihar, Calcutta and Punjab, yet the Congress, lodged police complaints and imprisoned Hindus who showed the courage of stopping Muslims.
3.
Gandhi granted 55 crores to Pakistan !
All these points clearly show Gandhi's initial vouching for Muslim leadership and then his subsequent frustration at being unable to control riots and extreme fundamentalism within Islam.
4. Autobiography, a matter on self-praise !
Gandhi who championed non-violence supported non-vegetarianism
Gandhi further states, "This argument had an impact on my mind. I calmed down and thought. I concluded that non-vegetarianism is beneficial. I will become strong and powerful because of it. If the whole country shifts to non-vegetarianism, we can easily defeat the British is what I began to feel."... Read More
Gandhi's autobiography, a matter on self-praise !
Gandhi tried to make a fool of the Bharatiyas through his autobiography!
When we think about Gandhi's values especially on'truth' the first thing that comes to mind is his autobiography - 'My Experiments with Truth.' Everyone has a misconception that 'My Experiments with Truth.' deals with everything true. When Gandhi withdrew the 'Non-cooperation movement' his otherwise successful political career was darkened for a while. Simultaneously the politics of Council membership of the Swarajya Party had started. In these circumstances Gandhi wrote his autobiography. It was his first psychological move to revive his political career. He felt the drastic need to change and magnify his image in the minds of the masses, "God has been my constant companion" was the repetitive statement in his autobiography. He was aware of the fact that people of Hindustan always love and admire patriots who praise God. The autobiography is conflicting though. In reality, Gandhi has dramatized simple events in his life. So also, it contains more of literature rather than honesty and frankness.
( Ref - Shodh Mahatma Gandhincha; author- Arun Sarathi )

Gandhi who spoilt himself in order to improve his Muslim friend!
In the autobiography, Gandhi has elaborated very much about his friend Shaikh Mehtab, a person of loose character, but most of the description is suspicious. Gandhi says his idols were Lord Ram and Shravan. Prabhu Shriram gave up the kingdom in order to fulfill the promise he gave to his father; but Gandhi did not give up the friendship of Mehtab even when his mother wished and commanded him to do so. Neither does he give sufficient reasons for his friendship in his autobiography. Gandhi's statement that he wished to improve his friend is also baseless. This friend took him to a prostitute later on, which implies that instead of the friend improving; Gandhi himself got spoilt. Even after this he did not sever his friendship with him which also leads us to the conclusion that there was some definite motive behind this friendship. The story of visiting the prostitute also seems to be false. Gandhi describes, "As a result of his friendship, I would have committed adultery. Once this friend of mine took me to a colony of prostitutes. After giving me important directions he left me in a woman's house. I did not have to pay her anything, Mehtab had taken care of it. I just had to talk sweet nothings to her. I was caught in the house, but if God wishes to save someone, he can remain pure even if he is about to stumble. I entered the room as a blind man and failed to talk anything due to loss of senses. I was dumbfounded due to a feeling of shame and sat on the bed beside her, but could not utter a single word. The woman was irritated and after abusing me with a few bad words she showed me the door."
Many questions arise in wake of this incident. For example-
1.
Does one visit a prostitute only to talk sweet-nothings?
2.
Was the prostitute mature enough for such talk ?
3.
When the 14-15 year old boys' idea of a woman was that of an object of fulfilling one's desire (this has been quoted in the autobiography), did they realize the meaning of talking sweet-nothings?
4.
The main aim of a prostitute is to earn money. If she has received the money beforehand, will she insult a customer for not accepting her services or will she feel gratitude towards him?
(Ref - Shodh Mahatma Gandhincha vol 1; author- Arun Sarathi )
[^Top]
Gandhi who championed non-violence supported non-vegetarianism
The reasons for non-vegetarianism in his autobiography seem unconvincing. Stating one reason as put forth by Mehtab, Gandhi says, "Since we do not consume non-vegetarian food our society has become imbecile. The British can rule us because they are non-vegetarians." The fact that our society had become imbecile and hence the British could rule us, being brought to Gandhi's notice by his characterless friend seems suspicious. So also portraying the friend as someone politically alert in a politically inactive place like Rajkot .
Gandhi further states, "This argument had an impact on my mind. I calmed down and thought. I concluded that non-vegetarianism is beneficial. I will become strong and powerful because of it. If the whole country shifts to non-vegetarianism, we can easily defeat the British is what I began to feel."
At the Kolkata session in 1906 it was for the first time that the word 'Swarajya' was uttered. Even those who spent their whole life struggling against the British Government never dared to freely speak of 'Independence at that time.' These were the prevailing conditions then. The incident that Gandhi mentions above occurred 20 years before this (in 1886), in a place like Rajkot which was not developed in any respect. Gandhi then was a boy of mere 14-15 years, that too under the influence of a person like Mehtab, dreaming about the lust of married life, consuming non-vegetarian food, stealing, smoking, etc. Gandhi neither read newspapers nor literature and was equally unaware of the history of Hindustan thus he could not be expected to dream about defeating the British and freeing the nation. Considering the fact that until the First World War this very Gandhi was a staunch supporter of the British Empire the argument that he thought of independence at the age of 14-15 years itself proves to be false. All these efforts in writing were merely in self-appraisal.
(Ref - Shodh Mahatma Gandhincha; vol-1, author- Arun Sarathi )
[^Top]
Gandhi's "My Experiments with Truth" is only an asset to his title 'Mahatma'!
In 1909, in a letter written to his 17 year old son, Manilal, from Pretoria jail, Gandhi falsely states,"I never experienced fun in life since the age of twelve." When he has admitted to eating non-vegetarian food, visiting prostitutes, hiding the fact that he is married and involving himself with other women, arousal of his passion while playing cards with a female friend, how can this follower of truth dare to write this false statement? In this way in many instances Gandhi has evaded the truth in his autobiography. Gandhi wrote his biography with the intention of propaganda. There can always be a difference, in literature written with a definite 'motive' and the actual truth(as accepted by him). However no one expected this follower of truth (?) to write falsely. In his writing he wished to write the truth without hurting his 'Mahatma' title.
(Ref - Shodh Mahatma Gandhincha; vol-1, author- Arun Sarathi)
5. Responsible for making Hindus inert!

'When we are going out of control, we should keep think calmly. Even if Muslims decide to wipe out the Hindu race, there is no point in Hindus getting angry on Muslims. Even if they slit our throats, we should be patient and accept death. Let them rule the world, we will pervade the world and merge with it. At least we should not be afraid of death.

1. Gandhi, Nehru and their Congress - responsible for making Hindus inert!
Our own people and outsiders all call Hindus inert. Who made them inert? Gandhi, Nehru and Congress are guilty of this. Their suicidal policies created Pakistan.
- Gurudev, Dr. Kaate Swami ji (Ghangarjit, August 2005)
2. Gandhi's notion of 'Secularism' made the Hindu society impotent!
Secularism is the creation of Mahatma (?) Gandhi. This made the Hindu society devoid of Purushartha. Secularism amounts to respecting all religions equally; this is not at all a tradition of our Sanatan Hindu Sanskriti. Hindu secularism does not amount to respecting all religions, it amounts to shamelessness.
Gandhi used to think in English and write in English. The original phrase, 'Sarva Dharma Sambhav' is from English. Therefore, here, the term Dharma is translated as Religion. What does Gandhi want to say? Give equal respect to Christianity, Islam and Sanatan Hindu Dharma. Now some people think that all religions are at par and they are about the Truth. This is what Gandhi used to say. During each discourse Gandhi and Vinoba used to read 'Ayats' from the Quran. Later, sects like Bahai's and Ramakrishna Mission (in their garb of non-Hindus) also started saying, 'All Prophets, their messages, their Truths are one and the same.'
However, the fact is, that statements propounded by the prophets may not be the Truth. This is a bitter pill to swallow. At the least, statements of any two prophets contradict each other; they oppose each other or can be extremely illogical. For example, in Srimad Bhagvadgita Sri Krishna says, 'I am God, take refuge in Me.' This clashes with what Prophet Mohammed says. He says, 'Allah does not acknowledge any other God and Allah want the destruction of all idols and the worshippers of these idols.' These statements are like water to fire. This is like a friendship between the knife and the vegetable! Then why speak non-sense like "Ishwar-Allah are your names?"

3. In the name of Ahimsa, Gandhi has made the nation impotent!
In the year 1941, Subhash Chandra Bose and Dr. N. B. Khare met secretly in Kolkata. Here is an excerpt of their exchange.
Shri. Bose : Dr. Khare, can you tell me something? When will this Gandhi disappear from Indian politics?
Dr. Khare : Surprising! Why do you ask this?
Shri. Bose : Gandhi has made this nation impotent. Till it is rescued from Gandhism, there is no hope for the nation. (Ref. 'Dambhasphot', translation of Dr. N. B. Khare's 'My political memoirs')
4. Gandhi who says, 'fall at the feet of one who rapes your sister and if he stabs you, then die!
Gandhi gave the following advice on what should be done if a bully attacks someone's sister. 'If someone attacks your sister and you have a weapon in your hand, do not attack him. This will be a sin. Fall at his feet. If he stabs you, you have to die. Your duty gets over with this. If that wicked man 'spoils' the unfortunate sister, it is all right. Do not counter attack, even if you have a weapon!' (Ref. 'Gandhi Gondhal', Author: Swa. Savarkar.)
4.1 A Gandhi, who said, 'Even if Muslims decide to wipe out the Hindu race, there is no point in Hindus getting angry on Muslims!
'When we are going out of control, we should keep think calmly. Even if Muslims decide to wipe out the Hindu race, there is no point in Hindus getting angry on Muslims. Even if they slit our throats, we should be patient and accept death. Let them rule the world, we will pervade the world and merge with it. At least we should not be afraid of death. The Providence is made of life and death. Why feel unhappy about it? We will enter a new life if we face death with a smile. We will create a new Hindustan.' From Gandhi's speech on 6.4.1947. (Ref. 'Fashi ani Nathuram Godse', Author: Shri. Gopal Godse)
4.2 And he says, 'those killing us are our brothers!'
At the time of partition, Gandhi addressed Hindus at the end of one of his Prayer Meetings. 'After all, who are the killers? They are our Muslim Brethren, none other. Does a converting into another religion break the bond of brotherhood?' (Ref. 'Panchavan Kotinche Bali', Author: Shri. Gopal Godse)
4.3 Gandhi says, 'those killed by the Muslims attained heaven'
On 23.9.1947, during a prayer speech, Gandhi said, '(Even if Muslims) killed our relatives, our people, why should we be angry with anyone? Those who got killed met with a proper end. We should know that they attained heaven. Let this happen with Gods' wish with each one of us. God should grant us this kind of death. If you want to ask God for anything, let it be this.'
(Ref. 'Panchavan Kotinche Bali', Author: Shri. Gopal Godse)
5. A non-violent father of the Nation (?), who pushed Hindus into the jaws of death
On 5.11.1947, Gandhi expressed a dream of non-violent war. Someone asked Gandhi, 'How should we resist attack on Kashmir by non-violence?' Gandhi replied, 'Do not provide army for their protection. The State should provide ample literature to them on non-violence. Whether such literature is available or not, those who are attacked should, in their enormous numbers, not counter attack a disciplined army, and not even resist their blows (meaning, bear the attacks repeatedly). The attacked should sacrifice their lives, without anger and malice. Do not use weapons. Don't even use fists to counter attack. Such non-violent resistance will become a dazzling example of velour, not witnessed in the history till date. Then the land of Kashmir will become pure. The fragrance of this purity will permeate not only Hindustan but the whole world. [('My Non-violence', Page 339.) Ref. 'Panchavan Kotinche Bali', Author: Shri. Gopal Godse]
6. Incarnation of the Hindu hater Aurangazeb!
'Aurangazeb and Shivaji will together establish a Hindi Nation!'
From 1920 onwards, Gandhi started promoting a view that 'that since Aurangazeb (Muslims) has lived here for so many years, allegations of enmity and distance leveled at him should cease and he should be considered one of us... Read More Gandhi: Incarnation of the Hindu hater Aurangazeb!
It is a historical fact that Aurangazeb was a Hindu hater. He did not miss an opportunity to destroy what was beneficial for the Hindus. His reign was biased towards the Muslims and was unjust and ungenerous towards the Hindus. The Maratha generals declared a war against him when his oppression became unbearable. And they established an independent Hindu state in the south Bharat. After Shivaji's demise Aurangazeb made his base in the Deccan for 20 years to destroy this Hindu state; but he was defeated by the Marathas unity, patience, skill, valour and their technique of Guerilla warfare, and died in South Bharat. A powerful emperor's desire to destroy the Hindus was left unfulfilled and he died a failure.
On introspection, Aurangazeb's soul realized that the cause of his failure was the fact that he was a Muslim and so all Hindus united against him. They displayed incomparable valour and defeated me. So for complete success against them, it is necessary to be born as a Hindu; it would be easier to hide hatred for Hindus then. The Hindu body selected by Aurangazeb must have been that of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi; because every action taken by him in his political career - from Khilafat to Pakistan, was against the interests of Hindus. His principle of non-violence proved to be destructive for the Hindus. In this respect, there is tremendous similarity between Gandhi and Aurangazeb. - Dr. N.B. Khare (Ref: 'Dambhasphot', translation of Dr. N.B.Khare's book 'My Political Memoirs'.)
He said, 'Aurangazeb and Shivaji will together establish a Hindi Nation!'
From 1920 onwards, Gandhi started promoting a view that 'that since Aurangazeb (Muslims) has lived here for so many years, allegations of enmity and distance leveled at him should cease and he should be considered one of us. For this, if from time to time some sacrifice has to be made to resolve the issue, it should be done. And in this way Aurangazeb (Muslims) and Shivaji (Hindu) should together found a new Hindi Nation.' - (Courtesy: Lokajagar, Shriramnagar, Walneswadi, Sangli, Maharashtra)

The murderer of Swami Shradhanandji, was 'Bhai Abdul Rashid', for Gandhi !
1. Gandhi, who permitted violent recourse to Muslims while advocating non-violence to Hindus during the Khilafat Movement!
During the First World War, Turkey took Germany's side. This resulted in the enmity between Britain and Turkey. The 'Sultan' of Turkey was the Khalifa of Muslims all over the world. Thus, to save the kingdom of the 'Sultan' after the war, Khilafat Movement was started in Hindustan to seek support of the British. Lokmanya Tilak only supported the Movement; he did not make the suicidal mistake of making it a part of the National Movement. Gandhi was obsessed with the ambition of becoming the Leader of Hindus and Muslims and he gave Nationalist stature to the Khilafat Movement. He called for a non-cooperation movement at the national level, in support of the Khilafat Movement. On the Khilafat Day, on 19th March 1920, non-violent Gandhi made a disastrous speech. He said, 'If the peaceful non-cooperation movement does not succeed in getting justice, then, they have the right to follow the path shown in the Holy Books of Islam and I whole-heartedly support this path.
Gandhi should have opposed this path, which was contrary to his principle of non-violence, but he supported it whole-heartedly. He further said, 'If the non-violent movement does not succeed, they are free to follow other methods as laid down in the Quran... in this way, they are directing without doubt this Great Movement accurately and with dignity. Their last option is a bloody revolution.' Non-violent Gandhi gave his consent of a 'bloody revolution' to the Muslims. To spread this Movement Hindu propagandists, workers and leaders were struggling hard. They took money from the pockets of Hindus and filled the coffers of the 'Khilafat office', but the Movement began to flounder and the expectations of the Muslims were shattered. They got angry and agitated, and targeted Hindus for this. Innumerable riots broke out in various parts of the country and only Hindus lost their lives.
(Ref. 'Panchavan Kotinche Bali', Author: Shri. Gopal Godse)

2. Gandhi justified the atrocities committed by Muslims on Hindus!
At Malabar, Moplas tormented Hindu Dharma, Hindu dignity, Hindu lives and Hindus' wealth, for a long time. Hundreds of Hindus were forcibly converted into Islam and Hindu women were raped. Gandhi did not say a word against these atrocities. On the contrary he called the Moplas, 'my brave Mopla brothers', 'God-fearing', 'they fought for Dharma" and justified their atrocities. He blatantly denied that innumerable cases of conversion into Islam had taken place. He wrote in the news letter 'Young India' that only one incidence of forcibly conversion had taken place. Muslim friends of Gandhi pointed out this wrong statement, yet he did not correct the false report.

3. Insensitivity towards Hindu killings by Muslims
In 1947 Hindu-Muslim riots every where gave rise to panic. Two young Bengalis, Sachin Mitra and Smruteesh Banerji, impressed with Gandhi's philosophy went around in Muslim localities spreading the message of Gandhi's non-violence. 'Even if Hindus attack, Muslims should not retaliate', they preached in the Muslim localities. Muslim goondas killed these two young men. Your blood will freeze, upon reading what Gandhi had to say on this - 'I am not at all sad. If two races have to establish an everlasting friendship, it is imperative that a few such innocent lives are sacrificed.'
Only a few? Millions of innocent lives were sacrificed - an ever-lasting friendship was never established and will never be.
(Ref. 'Shodh Mahatma Gandhincha', Part 2, Author: Shri. Arun Sarthi)

4. Gandhi attacks the Arya Samaj to please the Muslims!
To please the Muslims, Gandhi attacked the Arya Samaj in 1924 in an ungentlemanly and undignified manner. The Arya Samaj (therefore the Hindus) became weak because of the rising political importance of Gandhi. (Ref: 'Panchavan Kotinche Bali'; Author Shri Gopal Godse)

5. The murderer of Swami Shradhanandji, was 'Bhai Abdul Rashid', for Gandhi !
A muslim fanatic, Abdul Rashid murdered the founder of Arya Samaj Swami Shradhanand treacherously. (Swami Shradhanand was re-inducting into Hinduism, those who had been forcibly converted into Islam) Abdul Rashid emphatically said, 'I murdered Shraddhanand to stop the downfall and decay of Islam and to take revenge for his act of cleansing Muslims for re-induction into the Hindu faith'. Because of this, the Muslims leaders could not in any way dare lay the blame of this vile act on the Hindu community. But Gandhi blamed both Muslims and the Hindus for Abdul Rashid's act of religious fanaticism and defended him. Not stopping at this, Gandhi referred to him as 'My brother' Abdul Rashid.
When the Muslims started selling pictures of Abdul Rashid as a 'Gazi' (killer of Kafirs), Gandhi went about telling the people that 'Abdul Rashid's act is the act of an individual. Do not lay the blame of this act on the community.' It was in this way that Gandhi was appeasing the Muslim Community and Abdul Rashid. After Abdul Rashid was hanged, 50 thousand Muslims went to pay their respects to him, proving Gandhi's statement wrong. (Ref: 'Gandhi Gondhal'; Author 'Swa. Savarkar)
