I can see some fake deshbhakts here in the review section who are trying hard to whitewash Gandhi and villify a true patriot like Godse. This book is very important as it establishes the reason as to why Gandhi was needed to be eliminated from the political framework so as to facilitate democracy. It's a seminal book that everyone regardless of their age , sex or caste should read. It's a national gem. But the book needs some valid evidences , otherwise it's a great read.
Let me cite some very important factors so as to establish was Gandhi really a SAINT OR A SINNER!!! The facts below are going to open a few eyes.
1. Gandhi was an "Unshamed Racist" who promoted apartheid and hated blacks. He was prejudiced against Black Africans and so called untouchables of India. Gandhi described Africans as "Savage , raw Kafirs living life of indolence and nakedness" to quote --- An Indian Opinion , editor MK Gandhi.
"I don't know how a person who rejects caste can call himself a Hindu." - MK Gandhi
2. Gandhi volunteered for military service and had attained the rank of Sgt. Major in British Army assisting the war on blacks in every possible way.
3. Gandhi instigated a mob to burn down a police station and killing innocent British and native constables.
4. He was an incestous pedophile who manipulated young men and women into bathing and sleeping with him , his excuse being "test of self control". He even consummated with his niece Manuben.
5. The heartless Gandhi after the holocaust criticised the Jews who were trying to escape the ghettos in Warsaw and Auschwitz. He even told his biographer that the Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher's knives. They should have jumped from the cliff. Collective suicide would have been heroism.
6. Gandhi even penned an open letter to the British to surrender to the Nazis insisting that Hitler was a good man doing the world some good.
7. Also the train incident in South Africa was a hoax. Gandhi claimed he was thrown out of the coach by white-skinned sahibs but the reality was entirely different. He didn't have proper tickets or credentials to board the train so naturally the guard dropped him instead of throwing him out of the train in the next station. But he propagated that the whites are racist and hence started a false movement to instigate people.
For further references pls consult more books like Annihilation of Caste , The Naked Gandhi and Gandhi behind the mask of divinity. Pls open up people. Gandhi was a sinner. Pls don't glorify him and try to gather inspiration from true heroes like Godse or Savarkar.
Jai Hind. Vande mataram.
