In the past few months it has become a fashion to criticize and abuse Mahatma Gandhi - The father of the nation. Some called him communal , some call him British agent and all kinds of other name. The people who have been criticizing Bapu for so long most of them were from the RSS which had close links with Hindu Mahasabha. Nathuram Godse the person who murdered Mahatma Gandhi was an RSS and Hindu Mahasabha member.
RSS before partition was a British pawn and never participated in the freedom movement . After the murder of Mahatma Gandhi , Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel had banned the organisation. This organisation is well known for spreading hatred among the masses on the basis of religion.
However in the last few weeks we have seen attack from people like former supreme court judge Markendey Katju labeling Mahatma Gandhi as a British Agent he also tagged Netaji Subash Chandra Bose as Japanese Agent. Its so easy for him to sit in his AC room in Fermont , California and write whatever crap he wants do . But does he have any idea what this men had to go through in their lives , what sacrifices they had to make for the sake of India's freedom.
Mahatma Gandhi could have been a successful barrister could have lived a life of pomp and luxury. He chose to forsake all that and work selflessly first for the equal right of Indians in South Africa followed by the freedom of India when he came back to India. He is revered by people like Einstein, Rabindranath Tagore, Martin Luther King and many many others.
The people who call him British agent should know a person would became an agent of a country for money. However Bapu was a man who gave up money for the sake of the freedom of the country. He had no personal motives to work for the freedom of the country, just his love for the country and his fellow countrymen made him do that. People who look for cheap publicity by defaming Mahatma Gandhi should be ashamed of themselves.
Gandhiji was referred as the father of the nation for the first time by non other than Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose another great freedom fighter. The difference between the two was Gandhiji believed in using non violent means to achieve freedom while Netaji believed that some violence was needed for achieving freedom. Subhas Chandra Bose who could have been an excellent civil servant could have lived a happy life surrounded with money he was also the Mayor of Calcutta for some time. But for the sake of freedom of the country he gave up all that left the country and went to Germany to coax Hitler to fight for India's Independence.
When that didn't work he went to Japan and in Singapore formed the Indian National Army with the help of jawans(soldiers) who were made captive during the Second World War. Yes he did side with Japan but his aim was to free Indian from British rule. Its also possible that this flame of patriotism set in place by Bose actually resulted indirectly in Indian Naval Mutiny that ultimately became the biggest reason for British leaving Indian.
After the Naval Mutiny British were convinced of the fact that their days in India was numbered since one cannot rule a nation whose armed forces are against you.
Abusing Gandhi and Subhas is just like spitting at the sky . You actually spit back on your face.
