Why I hate Gandhi???
Reasons why I hate Gandhi:
1) Gandhi misinterpreted AHIMSA- Himsa is when one kills the other for selfish interest or because of jealousy. It is never himsa when you kill a person for the victory of DHARMA. If this statement is untrue, BHAGVAT GITA, the book which Gandhi referred to, itself holds no value. All the incarnations of Lord Vishnu will remain unjustified. It is our duty to fight when ADHARMA takes over DHARMA, so as to reinstall it.
2) Gandhi was an amazing politician, not greedy of money, but greedy for FAME- Gandhi was one guy who misused AHIMSA, just for FAME. What he wanted was fame and not money this is exactly what Indians dint see in him.
3) If he was alive, we would have seen India split into a hundred small countries or kingdoms. We would have lost the hindu heritage and culture. He would have sat for yet another sathyagraha if some community had raised their voice for separate country.. after all peace and non violence was his tools. He would have subjected the whole country to his emotional blackmail of “sathyagraha until death” mantra.
4) He split India into two – India and pakistan (it is not that I am unhappy about our division, I am unhappy over very much a materialistic issue- loss of land). One third of our land became a foreign land over night and above all these and the atrocities done by muslim league in pakisthan against hindus, Sikhs and budhists in their territory, he wanted Indian government to spare them 550 million rupees from then Indian treasury.
I really appreciate the mastermind behind the Gandhi assassination, not for the heinous crime of killing a human, but for terminating the sathyagraha-blackmail cancer to which our whole political system had to enslave itself to.(I wish this had happened a few days before the Indo-pak divison.)
Also I have read a lot about Godse… Both good and bad. But I feel he was genuine and a better scholar than Gandhi himself. Godse knew the right essence of BHAGVAD GITA. He was a social reformer and a well read personality with clear vision about HINDUSTAN. His action of killing Gandhi lead to 1) end of single jury, single judge-gandhi scenario in India 2) It held high the aggressiveness in Indians (or else, with the non-violance crap of Gandhi, we would have all become eunuchs) 3) He ended the non-violance scrap of Gandhi which, if we had not given up, India would have never developed into a superpower of 21st century.
I do not consider Gandhi as father of our nation.. he is father of pakisthan. Many may not agree if I say that Godse would be a better choice for that caption. But today’s India is definitely a fruit of his thoughtful act.
To end this blog.. Godse was hanged under the law of land or law of India and it was done by the government of India which was congress lead government, who consider Gandhi as their most reverent leader and the father of the nation. If it was so, they have held Gandhi values high above by hanging Godse at red fort, which itself is an act of non-violance!!!

I am a Proud Indian.. Are u one????
The evening was pleasant and I had just woken up. Since I had to cook, I decided to get into the kitchen. Here in Sweden, people do not talk much. Though they are very friendly and gay people, they do not make much noise. kitchen is the only place where I meet at least one or two of my corridor mates, but it is impossible to cook when there is no one to chit chat with. So I plugged in my ear phones of my ipod n pressed the play button. The first song was from fashion, n I liked it. It kept going for 5 minutes and I was busy chopping onions. Soon a very familiar music started off. It was our national anthem. I dint want to change it, cos I missed the great song so much. All the memories of India sprang in to my brain. I was in attention. There were tear drops in my eyes. I dint have time to think about the embarrassment. I just let the great feeling fill inside me. I felt really great. There was a collage of things that occupied my mind and I realised that it was not my family that I missed. But it was my country. The land of ultimate freedom, the land of diversity. The moonsoon, the smell of the soil, the dust, the food, everything. I missed everything.
Now let me get back to something that had happened a few weeks back. I was having a nice conversation with one of ma Swedish corridor mates and he was too inquisitive about India. To be honest, it would not be incorrect to say that I ran short of words or It could be that I dint know where to start from. Seeing my excitement and the glow (it is not that I had some florescent dye on ma face)on my face, He said “I think you are in love with Inida” and I dint deny it, cos its true. N he asked me why. The reason was obvious, India is my country; but according to me I don’t think I need a reason to love my own country. He also asked me “why are you so proud of being an Indian; I think India does not have much infrastructure and India has lot of poverty”. I knew, all what he knew about India was that we have 40% of the people under poverty line (A picture of India that slumdog millionaire has left in their minds) and there are innumerable number of diseases and epidemics spread like crazy and that we are the second most populous country in the world. I was a little furious at him because, he might have never even thought that India has the fourth biggest army, its one of the fastest growing economies in the world, we have indigenous weaponry and nuclear facilities. We are one among the eight countries to have nuclear submarines and our nuclear fecilities are far better that many in the league. Our ISRO is world renowned, we have multiple use satellite lounch vehicles and we have commercialised space technology. To add to the credit, like our anscristors invented “SHOONYA” or Zero, our own ISRO has discovered water on moon’s surface. Our IITs and IIMs and our school system of education is on par with or better than that of many western countries. So I told him, we do have infrastructure in India, but not found extensively like in Sweden and that the completion in India is very high. The young India that world see today had to rise from the ashes to make what it is today. But how India has evolved from the pre independent days is worth being proud of. Besides all the challenges (of poverty, terrorism, threats from neighbouring countries) we could still bring about a synchronised development. I do not deny that things could have been better, but things could have been worse too. (For example - look at our beloved brother country pakisthan or Myanmar). His next question was “ Then why are you here in Sweden”. “I am here to learn the latest technology and to take it to India, so as to contribute effectively to its growth and development”. I have the same vision as most of the other Indians who are abroad. And I salute every one of them who has renounced well paid jobs in the US and other countries so as to help our country develop.
Well after reading this blog, many might think am an emotional drama king. I don’t care about it. Its alright to let your emotions out ones in a while. And there might be a hundred Indians who feel “ what the hell! India is a rotten place, it has nothing to offer me’ (you rather say- I am useless, I rather blame it on my country). So dear buddies, It is high time you realise these facts and walk with ya head held high. We are second to none and be proud of this nation which has not changed under any pressure, let it be domestic or international. All great civilizations have changes under tremendous pressure. Greek, Egyptian and the Iranian civilization succumbed to the pressure. But our great country, besides the multi dimensional invasions, remain the same and we have evolved for the betterment by not compromising our identity. Be a proud Indian.
