Regarding the life of Gandhi, the father of the Indian nation, we review it through a group of old **. However, there have always been two very different voices for Gandhi's evaluation.
Some call him "Mahatma" and praise him for his noble character, wisdom, and selfless dedication. Even the famous scientist Albert Einstein praised him as "the representative of human conscience", and it will be difficult for future generations to believe that there was such a great man in history.
However, there are also many critics of him, such as former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who hated Gandhi, calling him a "seditious lawyer" and questioning his image and behavior.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, is an important figure in the history of India. His young life was full of twists and turns. At the age of 13, Gandhi married an illiterate girl arranged by his parents.
This practice of early marriage was very common at the time. Despite this, Gandhi did not give up on his dreams and pursuits. On the contrary, through hard work and perseverance, he was finally admitted to the English law major at the age of 19, and strictly followed his mother's advice, studied hard, and became an excellent lawyer.
Gandhi, who studied in England, gradually formed his own concept of vegetarianism and joined the school's vegetarian group. After returning home, Gandhi earned a law degree, but he suffered repeated setbacks in his work.
In April 1893, Gandhi was sent to South Africa by the company, an experience that changed the course of his life forever.
During his tenure in South Africa, Gandhi witnessed the unfair treatment of Indians and immigrants, and he began to fight for equal rights against racial discrimination and laws against Indians by the South African authorities.
By organizing demonstrations, Gandhi promoted the ideas of non-cooperation and non-violence for the first time.
Gandhi led the South African authorities in 1906 in illegally dismantling the Indian suffrage, organized demonstrations, collected Indian signatures, and founded the Congress Party, the first civil rights organization for Indians in South Africa.
He called on Indians not to register with the South African authorities and to go on strike with South African railway workers against the oppression of railway workers by South African authorities.
His experience in South Africa allowed Gandhi to gain extensive experience in the non-violent non-cooperation movement and become a socio-political activist, which laid the foundation for his return to India.
The outbreak of World War I gave Gandhi an opportunity, and he returned to India.
Manu and Abala, Gandhi's nieces and granddaughters-in-law, were both teenagers at the time, who accompanied Gandhi to the end of their lives. Since his marriage, Gandhi has practiced abstinence, but in his time with young girls, he has repeatedly stated publicly that they share sleep and bath as a way to warm each other until prayer time comes.
Although this form of practice may seem somewhat unexpected, Gandhi was convinced that it was very effective.
Many people's perception of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is based on secondary school history textbooks, but Gandhi was puzzled by this. In 1940, during the visit to India of Dai Jitao, the director of the National Examination Institute, he had many conversations with Gandhi and asked about this issue.
Dai Jitao briefed Gandhi on the situation of China's war of resistance and hoped that the great Indian man could provide some guidance. Gandhi's answer, however, came as a surprise. In his opinion, China did not practice nonviolent resistance, but chose to resist Japan heroically.
He believes that China's resistance is not in line with the principle of non-violence, because if a country chooses to resist by violent means when it is invaded, then this is also acceptable.
As a result, he felt that China's strategy against Japan was inappropriate.
Gandhi and the little girl made a specific nonviolent suggestion to Dai Jitao, arguing that if the Chinese held fast to their belief in nonviolence, they would not need to rely on the latest and most powerful means of destruction as the Japanese did.
On the contrary, the Chinese can tell the Japanese: "Although you come with your means of destruction, we are willing to pay the price of 200 million people, but the remaining 200 million people will not be conquered by you." ”
If the Chinese really put it into practice, then the Japanese will be intimidated by the firm conviction of the Chinese and thus become slaves of the Chinese.
Gandhi, the great Indian leader, died at the age of 79 on January 30, 1948, after being shot dead by a Hindu fanatic, Namdurum Goldsi.
Namduram Goldesi confessed his guilt at the trial and recounted how he shot Gandhi, including bowing deeply to Gandhi. In the face of death, Gandhi's last words were: "Please forgive this poor man!" ”
His spirit of forgiveness and kindness will always be remembered.
Gandhi, the father of India's state funeral, passed away, leaving the nation in mourning. According to Gandhi's last wishes, his body will be publicly discontinued within 24 hours on the banks of the Yamuna River, east of New Delhi.
When Gandhi's body was defaced, more than a million people poured into the scene to witness this historic moment with their own eyes. However, when Gandhi's body was cremated, an unexpected scene took place.
Dozens of women jumped into the raging fire, risking their own safety, and they were willing to die for him as a sign of their admiration and love for him. Despite Gandhi's complex and controversial life, he remains a mystery to most people, and no one can give an accurate assessment of him after they really got to know him.
As a result, people's evaluations of him are also good and bad, and even mixed. However, neither praise nor criticism can deny Gandhi's great contribution to the cause of India's national liberation, and his spirit and ideas will forever be engraved in the hearts of the Indian people.
