Gandhi’s non-violence was of extreme (Charam-panthee) type and anything extreme is unsuitable for human society specifically when it was applicable only on Hindus of British India, who were followers of the Indian National Congress.
The usage of the term Ahimsa Parom Dharma (originated from Mahabharat) in the context of Indian freedom struggle is the greatest Gandhian distortion and deception of twentieth century India.
Gandhi’s gross hypocrisies were guarded by British and Western media, as well as, Indian National Congress. It was not for nothing that Jinnah called M K Gandhi “wily Gandhi”. Gandhi was the wrong man in right time and right place.
To call Gandhiji as the Father of the Nation is inappropriate. No man deserves that divine title. Gandhi was one of the many greats who shaped our country’s destiny.
This country should know both Gandhi and Savarkar’s views. The present liberals try to adopt Gandhi ji and often quote him. As a matter of fact, Gandhi ji was against liberalism practised in the West.
Gandhi built non-violence movement. India built Gandhi. Nonviolence is part of India's culture and teachings. Gandhi was merely the genius saint who applied old teachings for the independence movement.
