A thread on #MahatmaGandhi in context of #KangnaRanaut's statement on Gandhism.
1.Gandhi was against all isms.
2. Nobody can claim to believe in "Gandhism" & NOT be a liberal.
2. Has anyone seen a pix of #Gandhiji ever visiting a temple, derasar, church or mosque?
3.Gandhi was a liberal & a staunch secular. He never built a temple or inaugurated one.He was the first person who denied Govt funding to #Somnath reconstruction to Kanaiyalal Munshi.
4. #Gandhi ji's prayer meetings were always interfaith in nature, including the Ashram prayers.
5. #Gandhiji was not "nationalstic" in the contemporary usage of the term. He NEVER cited or used history to underscore his social or political battles. He believed only fake nationalists use history to score points without considering the political & social context of the era.
6.The only historical figure he ever quoted publicly was that of Emperor Ashoka & his turning to nonviolence.
7.During freedom movement & it's consequent success, #mahatmagandhi did not utter in any meeting tht he wanted to establish #RamRajya by gaining freedom frm the British.
8.Yes, #Gandhiji believed in cow protection but he clearly said,"I would never kill a human being to protect a cow". He was against a ban on core slaughter too!
"Those who think a law should be passed against any evil and then the evil will stop; it is self deception", he said.
9. And finally #MahatmaGandhi always stressed tht one should NOT gain publicity or attempt to reach the truth using untruthful means".
Sad to see #MahatmaGandhi being denigrated to an ism.... something he loathed. By those who wrongly interpret him & his philosophy.
