Gandhiji was
indeed a great man
"There is no
place for discrimination of caste or religion in my dreams and in our dreams.
Nor will it be monopolized by the educated or the rich. Swaraj will be for
all" - Mahatma Gandhi
Many years have
passed since the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi but its effect has not
diminished yet.
Gandhiji's 150th
birthday passed in 2012. Celebrated the completion of Savaso Varas. In the
earlier days, Gandhiji had written his will in which he expressed his desire to
dissolve the Congress and establish a Lok Sevak Sangh in its place. It
contained a list of what the Sangh would do. he was scared. He feared that Congress would deprive the happy and prosperous Indian poor of adult suffrage.
This has happened in many countries of the world. Some countries set income
limits while others set limits on women. Congress did not dissolve and the
right to adulthood remained.
India's democracy
is the largest in the world. Today no political party can advocate
dictator Sahni nor can it advocate linguistics. Even the leaders who came to
power in the name of Gandhiji do not have the strength to advocate like this.
divided, but gradually the ill effects continued. This was because of the
immense power of Gandhian thought. His great texts were written and ashrams
were built. There were people's movements. J.P., who at one point criticized
Gandhian ideas. And Lohia also joined his thoughts.
Gandhiji was left
alone with his thoughts and ideas of life. They were not ready to accept partition.
He was ready to give Jinnah the post of Prime Minister. Savas wanted to live
for years because of the heavy bloodshed caused by the Partition. But it was
not completed.
Today, the United States and England are considered industrial nations. Then India is the Minister of Agriculture. Millions of farmers and artisans and farm laborers live here in one million villages. The needs of the village are met in the village itself. Food and vegetables and fruits and milk and curd and buttermilk farmers earn their livelihood by working in villages. He gets fuel by cutting wood from the forest. Clay pots are made from tubes and pottery. And brothers from other companies play the trumpet. However, after the government, 90 percent of the state or central budget is spent in cities. Nothing grows for the villagers. As a result, farmers leave farming and move to other occupations. The farmer is in debt. The government does not give adequate prices to the farmer. That's why farmers are being looted by the nexus of traders. As a result, the owner of fifty bighas of land is not ready to give any daughter. Agriculture has deteriorated.
Gandhiji has
written a book titled "Mere Sapno Ka India". Discrimination of caste
or religion has no place in my dreams and in our dreams. Nor will it be
monopolized by the educated or the wealthy. Swaraj will be for all. All these
include farmers, especially the lame, blind, and hungry lakhs of hardworking
people.
It is said that
when Swaraj comes to India, a large number of communities will be ruled by Kom.
What could be a bigger mistake than this? If this is true then today I have so
much power that I will fight against that state alone, I will not call that
state Swaraj, my Hind Swaraj is the only state. It is the kingdom of
justice.
The swaraj of my
dreams is the swaraj of the poor, king, and rich class who use the necessities of
life. It should be accessible to them but that doesn't mean you have to have
castles like them. Happiness is not needed. I have no doubt that unless these
facilities are guaranteed, Swaraj is not Purna Swaraj. Swarajya, Purma Swarajya, or independence means that no one should rule over us. Once when the local Muslims of Delhi came
to meet Gandhiji, he questioned that the promises made to us by our ministers
at one time have not been fulfilled yet. Gandhi replied. "I am not in the
government. All the men in the government are indeed my friends. How
many times have I had such an opportunity? It is not to say that I have a toy
with three monkeys. What he says is for all of us." Talking about communal
unity, in today's environment, people of all communities like Hindus, Muslims,
Sikhs, etc. should work shoulder to shoulder.
Criticizing
Gandhiji is now a fashion. Some blind anti-Gandhi often murders him without
understanding his views. Godse's arguments in court are unfair to him. Godse
had used a gun to assassinate Gandhi. Only a coward uses a gun.
Godse's belief that Gandhi's non-violence would make Hindus cowards is exemplified by a Ganesh student who was the victim of mob violence in Kanpur. Godse believed that the murder was committed by the mob. The people in question were killed in these riots. If Gandhiji can make them cowards then Hindu people should be the most cowards. But this is not true. He who is fearless is also tolerant. Godse says that by the firing of General Dyer in 1917, the whole country had become an enemy of the British.
So Gandhiji got a
proposal to take action against Dyer but it is not true. Godse also believes
that it is not true that Gandhiji did partition. While Gandhiji was fasting in
Calcutta, in his absence, Nehru and Sardar called a Congress Working Committee
and passed a resolution for partition. Even if Pakistan went to war, Gandhiji
gave the remaining Rs 3 crore. He believed that one should keep his promise.
Gandhiji's
personality was huge, it took a long yard to measure the waterfall. At this
time the whole world is celebrating his birthday. We talk of some people who
died but Gandhiji did not die. He was above death. Pyarelal has written his
character. When we read it, we get to know that they were of a certain level.
Gandhiji believed that hatred can be destroyed by love.
Politicians are
more interested in how to use it to understand someone but unfortunately, public
discussion begins through these scholars rather than leaders. So we don't have
the facility to ignore them. Our problem with Gandhi's subject is that speaking
on Gandhi's issue does not require any kind of preparation.
After Gandhiji's
death, the government politicized him, he is beyond criticism. He can be
worshipped. His disciple and friend Nehru advised Richard Attenborough to
portray Gandhi not as a god but as a common man in the film Gandhi. eg. His views on Varnashrama, her
reluctance to participate in women's political movements, her attitude towards
Africans in South Africa in her early years, her decision to recruit British
soldiers in the early years after her return to India. There is also an opinion
that he made a mistake by supporting the caliphate. Entangled in politics and
religion. But in some parts, Gandhi is not understood. "My life is my
message," he said. Some see arrogance in this answer. They did not believe
in their enemies and opponents. Even his dearest people Tagore and Nehru
criticized him.
Gandhiji was
indeed a great man
