Why America was destined to early freedom & greatness but India only for eternal tragedies-

"Even if you were to die to the last man without killing(a single enemy),
Offer yourselves as nonviolent, willing sacrifices"
-Father of our nation
#MahatmaGandhi

Founding Father of USA-

I am sorry, dear Indians, your 'founding fathers' were not very bright. No offence, but 'Experiments with truth' and 'Discovery of India' are not very impressive.

But the minds of the brilliant men who threw the British out of America by 1781! What a challenging & stirring read!

This dangerous pacifism, this fatalistic defeatism has tainted every depth of the national psyche. With weakened resolves we are unable to deliver death blows to the violent threats facing us. What apter example than the four wars we won but failed to gain anything lasting from?

Those the Indian state has wilfully deified and placed at the forefront of the freedom struggle failed in their pacifism to solve the gory issues of partition & its aftermath. They have condemned the next generation to forever struggle with it- The opposite of John Adams' resolve

So who are our #FoundingFathers?

Vivekananda-The last rishi who resurrected our ancient philosophy & pride
Subhas Chandra Bose-The liberator
Sardar Vallabhai Patel-The unifier
Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar-The reformer

Iron minds who preserved the last bits of sanity in that mad era

...to name only foremost four

“This peculiar doctrine of invitation to non-violence for self-purification is certain to lead to frightful disorders and riots”.
-Sankaran Nair
'Gandhi and Anarchy'

If Nair had lived till 1946, he would have seen his dire prediction come true.
