I knew Gandhi better than most because he opened his real FANGS to me and I could see the inside of the man. If I DISLIKE him, it is because I LOVE India more. - BR Ambedkar
Dismantling Sainthood: Ambedkar on Gandhi. My column in @SwarajyaMag. [Long read] swarajyamag.com/ideas/dismantl…
Ambedkar : The Real Father of our Nation.
My @SrijanFn Lecture. Do watch.
Some of Mahatma Gandhi's views in the aftermath of the Moplah Riots that, in the words of Dr Ambedkar were "INDESCRIBABLE blood-curdling ATROCITIES committed by the Moplahs against the Hindus."
Disturbing to say the least. For more details, please read: swarajyamag.com/ideas/dismantl…
Gandhi's appeal to Britons on the eve of Battle of Britain and Nazi invasion: Fight Nazism without arms. Invite Herr Hitler to take possession of your island. If he refuses to give a free passage out, allow yourself man, woman and child, to be slaughtered.
Gandhi's views on the Holocaust and what the Jews should have done:
Disarm Hitler by praying to him.
Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher’s knife; thrown themselves into the sea from cliffs. As it is they succumbed anyway in their millions.
Import from works of Herman, Fischer.
Noticed that in your response to my tweet you quoted Gandhi condemning Hitler. Acceptable quotes must not be used to cushion unacceptable ones. We should not hide, or not condemn, Gandhi's hurtful & nonsensical views.
Dr BR Ambedkar on whether Gandhi was a Mahatma.

"Satyagraha is NOT the proper means of achieving the liberation of Goa."
Devastating clarity by Dr Ambedkar on the Liberation of Goa, a full six years before Goa was liberated. Sadly, he did not live to see the proud day. #GoaLiberationDay mea.gov.in/Images/attach/…
When we stop following our leaders, we start worshipping them. My article on Ambedkar, modern India's GREATEST son. #AmbedkarJayanti anandranganathan.com/2016/04/14/rem…
Dr Ambedkar on Hinduism, and on blight of the Caste System:

I know of ONLY ONE Indian liberal brave enough to tell the story that must not be told. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar. The true liberal.
Dr Ambedkar on Islam. HIDDEN by the Historians on this, HATED by the Left for this. #AmbedkarJayanti anandranganathan.com/2017/04/14/amb…
Mahatma Gandhi on what should be done when one is faced with pure evil. Have to say, these views are borderline, if not complete and utter, madness. #GandhiAt150
To call Moplah Rebellion leaders martyrs is like calling the Taliban martyrs. The Moplah Rebellion was plain and simple jihad, and a ruthless attempt, in Dr Ambedkar's words, to convert Dar al-harb into Dar al-Islam.
My views on #MoplahMassacreTruth.
