dunno yar.. i remember closing that thread cause it was getting pretty lame. kheyr it probably has more relevance to 'world affairs' from the perspective of Pakistanis than it has to 'culture' since gandhi isnt really an element of Pakistani culture.
Gandhi was not a racist. Did he continue saying the same thing throughout his life? What he said in his early days of his political life, he believed in the superiority of the British Kingdome.
Congress in its early days used to sing, God save the King’ and so the Congress was pro imperialism?
In 1921 Gandhi started the non-cooperation movement, and India was at the verge of independence, but Gandhi took back the movement after a little bloodshed at Chora Chaury. He claimed that India was not ready for freedom.
Was Gandhi against freedom?
He never tried to hide anything and kept on maturing his thoughts.
From ‘God save the King’ of his beliefs from end of 19th century to his declaration that the British were devil rulers of mid 20s, he traveled a long path and for that deserved all praises.
Can I talk a little of Jinnah, the gentleman in suit, never liked to read quran or offer namaz, a lover of pork and French wines, since 1940 onwards imitate to be a Muslim, changes his suit to sherwani, as he knows that religion is an easy path to achieve power.
And so, who was Jinnah? Quaede Azam or a…………?
Wiseone, I do not understand your referee system. Gandhi was not a racist and his life is an open book.
why the statement about Jinnah is idiotic? Did not he start imitating a good Muslim since 1940 only?
^ why the heck r u trying to argue with these idiots! they can't rest until someone gives an osacar to some movie about pakistan or Jinnah. Until then the only way they can do is vent frustration and find this kind of crap as evidence. I wouldn't be surprised if ak47 in a sudden burst of piety finds some hadith to prove Gandhiji was all that.
I'm sure these statements have been taken out of context, and even if Gandhi did say these things, we have to realise political leaders are not saints, liberators like Mandela and King surely had flaws. It is human to err. And back in those days, such terminology for Africans was common, someone mentioned the British influence.
