    Gandhi... A Hero or a Hypocrite?

    Many people will argue that Gandhi was just a Hypocrite who contradicted himself... While others will say he was a major part in getting India it's independance from British... The reason he's proclaimed a Hyprocrite and a British spoon was because he claimed he was a Man of Peace.. and Violence was not his ways, and NEVER WILL BE... But during the first War World, he deployed more than 100,000 Indian Soldiers to help the U.K... Around the world Indians were known for their bravery, many saying "Indians fighting in this brutal war for a country that is currently ruling their own?"... He was quoted "I would give up the finest sons of India to save the British Empire on its last dieing days"... That alone will make people wonder if he really was who the British propaganda makes out him to be... While hundreds of people were being slaughtered and women being raped, he was walking around in India "giving speeches"... Many people have his picture up on the walls idolizing him.. While many denounce him for his weak role and huge credit during the British Rule in India...

    And whats with your Leader Bose being honoured? didnt he surrender the indian troops to the japanese (thinking they would free the land) and join the Japanese after and fight against the british and american troops?? And gandhi called upon the british to give up on the sikhs, but the Sikhs didnt quit and still fought "BESIDE" the british?

    I don't disgrace people.. I don't live in the past.. The past lives in us.. That is how you move on... You don't try to "start a new life and forget the past".. you learn from your past and move on to a new life.. very different.

    Resurrecting an old thread that managed to get the thread's author banned is not a good idea usually.However,heading over to the "Member introductions" forum and posting a thread about yourself is a very good idea.It gives the members a chance to say hello and welcome you to the board.Go ahead,you know you want to.... .

    I don't consider Moulana Gandhi as a Hero, Hitler had a greater contribution than Gandhi for India's independence. Gandhi's principles were just good in theory , he had gathered massive support but without much momentum to create useful effects while hitler just blew the hell out of British empire and Britishers who were ruling whole world had to fight hard to save their own land. It was not feasible for Britishers to rule its colonies after World War II , as it was not a superpower . Hitler was an evil person fighting for power against other evil powers and Hitler was destroyed but so was British Empire and India and many colonies got independence.

    Funny that India was itself under colonial rule and it had to send its people "to fight for its own enemies". On a serious note,after 90yrs of British rule in India, in 1947 India had 90% below poverty line , 11% literacy rate and 32yrs of life expectancy. Over million people were killed in Bengal famines and hundred of thousands people have lost their life post 1947 due to poverty .

    Indians were treated as dogs in their own country and used as slaves everywhere from Fiji to South Africa , Indian soldiers were used for testing gases instead of Pigs and here comes someone as to why we should have fought FOR British rather than AGAINST british.

    Moulana?

    You are calling Gandhi a islamic pawn?

    You are Hindutva Fanatic arent you?

    I am a Hindu and I dont agree with Gandhi's concept. But even I find what you have written as extremely dis-respectful and inflamatory.

    He has contributed to Human Kind, and will be an icon of this century, far more than you can ever hope to achieve in your pathetic little life.

    Dont agree, But learn to repect.
    He is neither a OBL or Hitler, but a man who fought for what he beleived in, in his own ways.
