WHITEWASH!
Change the world, indeed! Gandhi was the racist pointman who helped amalgamate India in readiness for UN (UNelected) global governance.
Gandhi was all for “purity of type”. Think -- eugenics, total DNA databases, mandatory vaccinations... hmm...
The Myth of Mahatma Gandhi
Laughter the best medicine? An old article about the bulge in Gandhi's loin cloth and his subsequent demise:
Lively, you are ignorant that is all I can say.
This is a mudslinging attempt by BJP and RSS political parties in India.
You are actually believing what someone is writing. Anyone has the right to write anything.
I dont know if you are a fan or Mercola.com or you just come here as a troll.(dont take it personally I am not accusing, I am only reasoning). Because if you really are a fan of mercola then you should know that there are many articles that "badmouth" Dr. Mercola on the internet. Would you believe that?? Not only Dr. Mercola but other health advocists and many others who are fighting for our "freedom".(like Vandana Shiva who is against GM).
I will give you some knowledge. Nathuram Ghodse killed Gandhi. He was RSS member. RSS is a sort of Predeccesor to the BJP party(current opposition in India) The congress party hijacked Gandhis name(indira Gandhi, and now Sonia Gandhi). They are not descendants of Gandhi at all , but many ignorant ppl believe that and that is why they get votes.
Now during the many elections issue raised, the BJP party exposed the Congress Dyansty, i.e. how Nehru(first prime minister of India) was never a freedom fighter and how is father had "contacts" in the British Empire.
The Congress also went back in History and accused the RSS of killing Gandhi.(just like many blame jews or Romans for the death of jesus) BJP tried to defend themselves. Gandhi assasin was a misled and confused man and many believe he was brainwashed to kill Gandhi as Gandhi would have changed this country.(as it was going to the dogs and is still).
When they could not defend themselves they launched a mudslinging campaign against Gandhi. It has been around 20 years since this campaign was launched. Earlier generation(mine and my fathers...I am 31 btw) never believed it. Cause my fathers generation were alive. But many ignorant people in mine generation and current generation believed this lies. Be careful what you believe and dont be misled to hate sucha great man
Absolutely! BE it, don't dream it.
I've been a fan of Mohandas Ghandi ever since I learned about him and his teachings. However, I'd like to point out that he himself didn't want the title 'Mahatma' (which means great spirit or great soul). Probably because of his humility. We all have something to learn from him.
Perhaps the main article should be given in full.
Quote PART ONE:
GANDHI WAS LOYAL TO IMPERIALISM
By Velu Annamalai, Ph.D.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. might have heard the word of non-violence from Gandhi, but it is certain that Dr. King did not know the true colors of Mr. Gandhi.
From the beginning to the end, M.K. Gandhi was loyal to imperialism. The Western news media and their Indian allies by a massive propaganda exercise created the illusion of sainthood around Gandhi and made people believe that he fought Apartheid in South Africa, and in the process of doing so developed a new method of non-violent struggle called satyagraha.
Nothing is farther from the truth. Gandhi, for the major part of his life, worshipped British imperialism and too often proudly proclaimed himself a lover of the Empire. He was Kipling's Gunga Din in flesh and blood.
To understand Gandhi's politics in South Africa, it is essential to note the three fundamental trends which all along persisted underneath all his activities. They were:
(1) his loyalty to the British Empire,
(2) his apathy with regard to the Indian "lower castes", India's indigenous population, and
(3) his virulent anti-African racism.
Gandhi was once thrown out of a train compartment which was reserved exclusively for the Whites. It was not that Gandhi was fighting on behalf of the local Africans that he broke the rule in getting into a Whites' compartment. No! that was not the reason. Gandhi was so furious that he and his merchant caste Indians (Banias) were treated on par with the local Africans. This is the real reason for his fighting race discrimination in South Africa, and he had absolutely no concern about the pitiable way the Africans were treated by the Whites.
On June 2, 1906 he commented in the Indian Opinion that "Thanks to the Court's decision, only clean Indians (meaning upper caste Hindu Indians) or colored people other than Kaffirs, can now travel in the trains."
Quote, PART TWO:
During the `Kaffir Wars' in South Africa he was a regular Gunga Din, who volunteered to organize a brigade of Indians to put down the Zulu uprising and was decorated himself for valor under fire.
Gandhi said on September 26, 1896 about the African people:
"Ours is one continued struggle sought to be inflicted upon us by the Europeans, who desire to degrade us to the level of the raw Kaffir, whose occupation is hunting and whose sole ambition is to collect a certain number of cattle to buy a wife, and then pass his life in indolence and nakedness."
Again in an editorial on the Natal Municipal Corporation Bill, in the Indian Opinion of March 18, 1905, Gandhi wrote: "Clause 200 makes provision for registration of persons belonging to uncivilized races (meaning the local Africans), resident and employed within the Borough. One can understand the necessity of registration of Kaffirs who will not work, but why should registration be required for indentured Indians...?" Again on September 9, 1905, Gandhi wrote about the local Africans as: "in the majority of cases it compels the native to work for at least a few days a year" (meaning that the locals are lazy).
Nothing could be farther from the truth that Gandhi fought against Apartheid, which many propagandists in later years wanted people to believe. He was all in favor of continuation of White domination and the oppression of Blacks in South Africa.
In the Indian Opinion of March 25, 1905, Gandhi wrote on a Bill regulating firearms: "In the instance of firearms, the Asiatic has been most improperly bracketed with the natives. The British Indian does not need any such restrictions as are imposed by the Bill on the natives regarding the carrying of fire-arms. The prominent race can remain so by preventing the native from arming himself. Is there the slightest vestige of justification for so preventing the British Indians?"
Quote, PART THREE:
Gandhi always advised Indians not to align with other political groups in either colored or African communities. He was strongly opposed to the commingling of races. In the Indian Opinion of September 4, 1904, Gandhi wrote: "Under my suggestion, the Town Council (of Johannesburg) must withdraw the Kaffirs from the Location. About this mixing of the Kaffirs with the Indians, I must confess I feel most strongly. It think it is very unfair to the Indian population, and it is an undue tax on even the proverbial patience of my countrymen."
In the Indian Opinion of September 24, 1903, Gandhi said: "We believe as much in the purity of races as we think they (the Whites) do...by advocating the purity of all races."
Again on December 24, 1903, in the Indian Opinion Gandhi stated that: "so far as British Indians are concerned, such a thing is particularly unknown. If there is one thing which the Indian cherishes more than any other, it is purity of type."
When he was fighting on behalf of Indians, he was not fighting for all the Indians, but only for his rich merchant class upper caste Hindus!
In the Anglo-Boer War of 1899, Gandhi, in spite of his own belief that truth was on the side of the Boers, formed an ambulance unit in support of the British forces. He was very earnest about taking up arms and laying down his life for his beloved Queen. He led his men on to the battlefield and received a War Medal.
Gandhi joined in the orgy of Zulu slaughter when the Bambata Rebellion broke out. One needs to read the entire history of Bambata Rebellion to place Gandhi's nazi war crimes in its proper perspective.
My personal mission statement is as follows...
Don’t let a day go to waste – everyday presents opportunities to learn and I was born to seize them. Be studious and industrious.
Love myself – treat my body like a rare gift: give it exercise and nourish it everyday. Challenge my mind. Behave in ways that honor my spirit by acting from a place of truth, open-minded curiosity and kindness.
Recognize everyone possesses this gift of body and spirit and respect others as deeply as I do myself.
Tread lightly. Do no harm. Leave the tiny sliver of world that surrounds me slightly better today than it was yesterday.
The fear part is much deeper that it appears. Infact you explained it your self.
You said that "I am" and Within us is god.
Fearing god is we should fear, the act of sinning against our own conscience.
This "fear" is more better understood my a theory of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, in Christianity.
They say that if you sin against "The father" you will be forgiven, if you sin against the "son" you will be forgiven, but if you sing against the Holy spirit, You will not be forgiven. And we all made to fear the Holy Spirit(and some call it the ghost just to make it more fearful).
But in fact the "spirit" is US. What is spirituality. It is nothing but knowing your own spirit. And it is right you can never be forgiven if you sin against yourself.
Goji...that "fear god" thing stopped me, too. fear is mind-made. "purpose" is explained extremely well in eckhart tolle's book "a new earth". talk about changing the world!
rajsanand, couldn't someone forgive themselves if they "sin" against themselves?
I do agree with you Goji about not fearing God.
This should frost some agates: After reading these posts and from past experience it seems to me that what Christians fear most is being wrong about their belief system. There appears to be a bit of anger and self-righteousness in their statements. Expressing love for others, not so much. I believe that Jesus (not Christ; he was a different person. Do some research) once said: "Every man is my teacher." He taught of peace and love of each other as well. He had a lot of good to say. Kinda like Ghandi. But it doesn't seem he beat down everyone's throat. People were left with a choice. I was raised in a Christian household and have since followed a different path that I find more spiritually refreshing and logical. I take responsibility for my own actions and deal with the consequences as an adult. And I forgive myself as well as others. Another part of this path is tolerance and respect of all religions without telling everyone around me why my choice is the right choice. I have, however, studied many religions and learned from all of them. Funny thing: I can apply the best of each (in my opinion) to my mission statement and never fear burning in Hell. Brightest Blessings.
"...Jesus (christ was a different person..."? christ means the Messiah. Jesus name in Hebrew is Yeshua. You make an outrageous claim and then claim not to judge other religions. Hypocrite.
MAN made religions whether it be Hindu,Muslim,CHRISTIAN,are the root of ALL evil and should be seen as such and avoided like the plague!!!
