FREEDOM MOMENT WAS GOINGON EvEN BEFORE HIS BIRTH, IT WAS GOINGON EVEN WHEN HE WAS STUDING, WHEN HE CAME BACK AFTER LAW DEGREE, BUT HE DIDNOT JOIN THE MOMENT AND DECIDED TO GO TO other country. This reflects something to be considered.In Africa also, he got into trouble due to his eggoiestic nature, Since he was an advocate, he tookup cases of people who happened to be harassed by the britishers, he tried to play as mediator & he came in limelight. He did get solid beating & left Africa.He came to India, joined congress due to circumstances & certainly not by desire. Since he was educated, had been to foreign country & being an advocate, also britishers considered him more close, soft, easy to handle & probably with their help, he got the front seat of congress. The truth is that people were for independence not for any leader. As I mentioned earlier, Gandhi was not initiator of the freedom moment but he only joined the one already running at very high speed. The rulers as well as our public were really tired of voilence & at that time may be on the directions from the authority or due to his own thinking, he certainly gave a new method of struggal THE NON VOILENCE. otherwise, he is responsible of sidelining sh subas chander, sh patel, sh Bhagat singh etc, He is responsible of bringing Nehru on the drivers seat whose family or nehru himsef never contributed to the freedom moment rather his father used to work against.He is not only responsible for partition of the nation but keeping majority of muslims in India, which was impractical & unjustified. when pakisthan was created on the bases of religion in that case all people of that religion should have gone to that nation & all hindus should have been brought back. There was a media , it was in the hands of business class & ofcourse under more control of the Govt which was more close to Gandhi & nehru than any other leader. He managed his undeserving chamcha in the PM SEAT &the way he was killed, made him Mahatama, otherwise every one knows his personal life, his coduct in pvt & his character qualities which donot go closure to word mahatama. Since we started learning about him, the word was already with his name thus we have to call him as such. Infact due to his undemocratic decision to force nehru on the chair of PM, Jinaha changed totally. Brothers, I personally feel that he was very lucky & the time was favouring him totally. But it is not less what position he has achieved not only in India but in the world which doesnot allow any criticism even with facts. Ganga ne aana tha Bhagirath ne jas milna tha wali bat se. regards
