MAHATMA
GANDHI (02.10.1869-30.01.1948)
Gandhi brought up the workers and
peasants of India in to freedom struggle. As a result of many agitations and
movements(The INA movement by Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose,
Captain Lakshmi etc and the
revolutionary movements by Bhagath Singh Chandrasekhar Azad, Rajguru, Ram Prasad
Bismil, Udam Singh,Mangal Pandey etc)British
colonials forced to leave India on 15 Aug 1947.
Gandhi was conscious that the
freedom was not a freedom of his dreams. There fore he deliberately kept away
from the celebrations and he was moving from village to village, consoling men,
women and children who had suffered in the communal holocaust. He suggested to
the Congress that it should cease to be a political party fighting election and
confine itself to serving the people through a non political LOK SEVA SANGH.
He was disappointed because of the
division of India and Pakistan which had disastrous consequences for the cause
of Hindu- Muslim unity. Gandhi undertake the last hunger strike of his life
against the anti muslim and anti Pakistan attitude of Nehru Govt, particularly
Home Minister Sri Sardar Vallabai Patel.
It may be well stated that the
Mahatma, who was the leader of the freedom struggle for a full quarter of a century
was the first and solitary leader of opposition in free India.
While heading the mass movement, he
was wrecking it through his insistence of NON VIOLANCE, and TRUSTEESHIP. After
independence he struck to his principles while his valued colleagues deserted
him.
Gandhi as a politician lead the
Bourgeois- Landlord class in India towards the ruling class of the country, as
a saintly personality his life was a tragedy for principles for which he stood.
On this day a proper review may be
conducted to assess the contribution of Mahatma Gandhi.
