Gandhi was a British agent, says Markandey Katju

[Bornubus]

True...he was the recruiting agent for British indian army....thus he got the title recruiting sergeant.

 

[gslv]

For the first time he is speaking truth.

 

[genmirajborgza786]

HE was against Netaji Subhas Candra Bose who clearly fought tooth & Nail for independence
& with the End of Azad Hind Fauj
All the Muslims & Hindu revolutionaries were sidelined , thus ending any hope for a United India
The vacuum , Started a game of intense power struggle between Congress & the Muslim League , as these two were now the Two Dominant forces left

think about it , why was only these two political Parties Acceptable to the British ? why were Only these Parties allowed to work with all the fanfares , interviews & Limelight's , while many others like Subhas Chandra Bose were sidelined & Other revolutionaries were put to the gallows

Finally someone with guts to speak the truth! Salute you Sri Katjuji.

Gandhi's stupidity and his later attempts of Muslim appeasement destroyed any hopes of a united India.

Muslims were feeling unsecured even before M. K. Gandhi's arrival in India... And can be traced back to mid 19th century..
That is the reason for division of Bengal in 1905 between Hindus and Muslims... And formation of Muslim league...

HE supported the WAR Netaji Subhas Candra Bose opposed it & fought it

results : End of Azad Hind Fauj
All the Muslims & Hindu revolutionaries were sidelined , thus ending any hope for a United India

Maybe because others were Armed revolutionaries and a Private Army?

Muslims were feeling unsecured even before M. K. Gandhi's arrival in India... And can be traced back to mid 19th century..
That is the reason for division of Bengal in 1905 between Hindus and Muslims... And formation of Muslim league...

Apparently it was Gandhi's fault

Unfortunately there is no natural process devised by God which prevents men whose ' best before' date has long gone form blabbering.

Katju is one such example.

Nope... If you are talking about 2nd world war, no congress men supported the war except Muslim league and sir jinnah openly supported the war and argued to Muslim army men to take part in the war...
If you are talking about 1st world war... Yes everyone supported it as britishers promised to return self rule to Indians after the war... But guess what, they lied...

 

[SipahSalar]

Of course he was. Why else would he have agreed to creation of Pakistan?

New Delhi: In comments that may trigger a controversy, former Supreme Court judge Markandey Katju has called Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi a British agent, who did great harm to India.



Katju wrote in his blog:

This post is bound to draw a lot of flak at me, but that does not matter as I am not a popularity seeker I have often said things knowing that initially that will make me very unpopular, and I will be vilified and denounced by many. Nevertheless I say such things as I believe they must be said in my country's interest. I submit that Gandhi was objectively a British agent who did great harm to India.”

“These are my reasons for saying this: 1. India has tremendous diversity, so many religions, castes, races, languages, etc ( see my article ' What is India ?' on my blog justicekatju.blogspot.in ).

Realizing this the British policy was of divide and rule ( see online ' History in the Service of Imperialism ' , which is a speech delivered by Prof. B.N. Pande in the Rajya Sabha ).

By constantly injecting religion into politics continuously for several decades, Gandhi furthered the British policy of divide and rule.

If we read Gandhi's public speeches and writings ( e.g. in his newspapers 'Young India', ' Harijan ', etc ) we find that ever since Gandhi came to India from South Africa in 1915 or so till his death in 1948, in almost every speech or article he would emphasize Hindu religious ideas e.g. Ramrajya, Go Raksha ( cow protection ), brahmacharya ( celibacy ), varnashram dharma ( caste system ), etc ( see Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi ).

Thus Gandhi wrote in ' Young India ' on 10.6.1921 " I am a Sanatani Hindu. I believe in the varnashram dharma. I believe in protection of the cow ". In his public meetings the Hindu bhajan ' Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram ' would be loudly sung.

Now Indians are a religious people, and they were even more religious in the first half of the 20th century. A sadhu or swamiji may preach such ideas to his followers in his ashram, but when they are preached day in and day out by a political leader, what effect will these speeches and writings have on an orthodox Muslim mind ? It would surely drive him towards a Muslim organization like the Muslim League, and so it did. Was this not serving the British policy of divide and rule ? By constantly injecting religion into politics for several decades, was Gandhi not objectively acting as a British agent ?

2. In India a revolutionary movement against British rule had started in the early 20th century under the Anushilan Samiti, Jugantar, and revolutionaries like Surya Sen, Ramprasad Bismil ( who wrote the song ' Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamare dil mein hai ), Chandrashekhar Azad, Ashfaqulla, Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, etc ( who were all hanged by the British ). Gandhi successfully diverted the freedom struggle from this revolutionary direction to a harmless nonsensical channel called Satyagrah. This also served British interests.

3. Gandhi's economic ideas were thoroughly reactionary. He advocated self sufficient village communities, though everybody knows that these communities were totally casteist and in the grip of landlords and money lenders..Gandhi was against industrialization, and preached handspinning by charkha and other such reactionary nonsense. Similarly, his ' trusteeship ' theory was all nonsense, and an act of deceiving the people

Some people praise Gandhi's bravery in going to Noakhali, etc to douse the communal violence at the time of Partition. But the question is why did he help setting the house on fire in the first place by preaching religious ideas in public political meetings for several decades, which were bound to divide the Indian people on religious lines? First you set the house on fire, and then you do the drama of trying to douse the flames.

Gandhi was a British agent, says Markandey Katju | Zee News

This idiot don't know the history and claiming shit. Ghandhi was in South Africa and he was fighting for there rights and succeeded and then Gopal Krishna Gokhale (many believe that Mr. Jinnah also give suggestion to return India) asked him to come back to India and launch similar movement as he did in South Africa

 

[Green Arrow]

Doesn't matter what he says. The fact is that Gandhi was the great leader of India and India is known because of him.

Mr Katju is a loose cannon. I remember his debate with subramanian swamy where swamy outargued him.

That would be an interesting debate to watch....... Both are loose cannon

it does not matter what you people think of him.
what matters is what today's Indian people think of him.

p.s. India is not known because of him. He is not greater than nation.

 

[PlanetWarrior]

That web spinning sadhu should just have donned a spiderman suit and climbed walls instead of joining politics

Now on a more serious note....not nice. Not nice at all.

Well Indian can say anything about India and Indian leaderships that their right and i have no problem with that.
And yes Gandhi is India's identity that way Gandhi is mentioned in the speeches of the world's leaders and they pay their respect to Gandhi while visiting India.
