GOLI SODA Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Social media idiots, easily passing hateful & dismissive judgement: can you pygmies measure the greatness of this man?Ā He lived in 3 countries. His writings are 100,000 pages in print. He brought an Empire to its knees. He still rules the hearts of billions.Ā Picking up episodes in a long life is easy. But it is ungrateful to not recognize that we enjoy the Freedom and Rights he and his colleagues fought for before we were born. They made it possible for you to have the Freedom to say the stupid things you are now saying. Yes, odd, complex, complicated, socially regressive, with a sexuality damaged by religion. Yet, charismatic; inspiring a people to greatness, a master communicator with a great sense of humor, striving for moral ways of social action and personal fulfillment. And a sense of time.Ā So much he taught in one life time. From cleaning toilets to saving natural resources.Ā How come you are learning from his weaknesses instead of learning from what makes him better and in some cases a beacon? Eccentric? Yes. He went bare chested to London for negotiations. With his goat. Called a 'half naked fakir' by a cigar chomping rascal drunk Prime Minister of Britain? Yes. Genius that discovered the pulse of a people? Oh yes. The wheel, a handful of salt and fasting changed the fate of half a billion people. Why did no one think if it before? Defiant. Disobedient to tyranny. Loyal to his conscience, sometimes flawed. But very few of us could have done better. Yes he got it wrong about races and the black people. And the Khilafat movement. Let us not follow him there. No, it is false to say he did not try to save Bhagat Singh. He was against violence, he was also against the death penalty.Ā Did you hear? From saying 'God is Truth' he moved on to 'Truth is God'. From a supporter of Varna he moved on to say the only weddings he would attend were inter-caste ones. His own son Devdas Gandhi married inter-caste. Yes, he was a religious reformer. A Saint amongst politicians and a politician amongst Saints he was. Ā Saints are not what we want, but here was one who spoke of the compatibility of means and ends. He started a cult of mass action.Ā When India was declared independent, he was nursing the wounded in communal riots. He was nurse to the nation. And he gave his life. He was assassinated when he was old and frail and disturbed and distressed that his people were killing each other. He was killed for loving his own and for saying one must keep one's word.Ā Have you no shame?Ā Or gratitude?Ā Or a streak of humanity? Or patriotism? Shame on you.
