>Gandhi was not Anti-Britain initially, he wanted equal treatment for Indian people at par with any British citizen. But Britain wasn’t ready to grant full dominion status, then series of incidents moved him to ask for full freedom. In his early years in Africa when he was going transformation, there were some incidents which reflected some prejudice against native Africans, but subsequently he became a changed man, his greatness lies in constantly reinventing himself as he learns more about life.
Disagree! Gandhi was always whole and complete, he managed his perception of himself and the world to liberate India. But I am not debating that.
>The biggest supporter of Nazi and Hitler philosophy following his footsteps are in power in India today, where gradually every democratic institution is muzzled for their version of Hindu Aryan supremacy.
Agree! That is what Gandhi would have supported today. Instead, he's being used by the outside forces who are using him as a tool for propaganda.
- dragonsh 6y ago> Disagree That’s ok but first read the whole history and support your argument by facts not by rhetoric. > Agree Not sure what are you implying, Gandhi’s work is still important for the world, having influenced many non violent struggles around the world including USA’s civil rights movement, South Africa’s movement led by Nelson Mandela and countless others. The current administration in Gandhi’s birth country is systematically trying to disregard his non-violence and support his killers views and gradually dismantle institution inspired by Nazi and Aryan supremacy theory.
- AntiImperialist 6y agoGandhi was with the Nazis then and would have been with whoever is branded as Nazis today. Nazis are the "ultimate evil" only because the winners wrote history to make it so. Look at the population graphs, do some back of the envelope calculations. None of the bs propaganda makes any sense.
