1. Gandhi studied became Barrister lived a urban life, traveled to UK, South Africa through trains,cars
After living is 45 years of life like this, comes to India in 1915, writes a book Hind Swaraj saying Indians should live in villages, shun modernity, cities,army, industries

2. Coming to India engaged in freedom struggle, supports British in WW1. Even recruits Indians to British army in 1918. Says 👇
“An empire that has been DEFENDING India and of which India aspires to be EQUAL partner in great peril(WW1), and it ill befits India to stand aloof India would be nowhere without British The liberty loving English will yield, when they have seen we have laid our lives for them.”
Now in 1900 Boer (an assistant superintendent of the Indian volunteer stretcher-bearer corps). He wrote in his autobiography-
“When the war was declared, my personal sympathies were with the Boers,but my loyalty to British rule drove me participation with the British in that war
“When the war was declared, my personal sympathies were with the Boers,but my loyalty to British rule drove me participation with the British in that war
I felt that, if I demanded rights as a British citizen, it was also my duty, as such to participate in the defence of the British Empire. so I collected together as many comrades as possible, and with very great difficulty got their services accepted as an ambulance corps.”
He got medal for this which i mentioned in previous tweet.
In July 1947 on Tricolor he-
“But what's wrong wd having the Union Jack in a corner of our flag? If harm done to us by British it has not been done by their flag & we must also take note of the virtues of the British. They are withdrawing from India, leaving power in our hands.

He always had a loyal and sympathetic view of British and contempt for Indians. What a chamcha! FYI he whenever sent to jail, was sent to AgaKhan Palace turned jail. Very comfortable as if British was sending him to some vacation. While real fighters were sent to kaala pani.
Lets see how he react to Indian nationalists-
From declassified documents of British its clear British claimed their biggest strength was ARMY and till they have it,they have India.Gandhi not tried to break enemies hold on us by asking ARMY to non cooperate like everyone else

Once a Indian Garhwali soldiers did refuse to fire at Indian protestors at Peshawar. Bacha Khan ( frontier Gandhi) called it Patriotism. Gandhi said-”A soldier who disobeys an order to fire breaks the oath which he has taken and renders himself guilty of criminal disobedience.+
I cannot ask officials and soldiers to disobey; for when I am in power, I shall in all likelihood make use of those same officials and those same soldiers.”
>>On Jaliawala Bagh massacre in 1919 Gandhi said-”the dead were definitely not heroic martyrs. Were they heroes, they would have unsheathed the sword or at least used their sticks, or they would have bared their breast to Dyer and died bravely” 
>>On Udham Singh killing Jalliawala Bagh culprit General Dyer, he said-”the outrage has caused me deep pain. I regard it as an act of insanity...I hope this will not be allowed to affect political judgement.” While SC Bose said Indians shud take inspiration from Udham Singh.
British MP once remarked “Gandhi was the best policeman the Britisher had in India” He kept Indian’s nationalism spirit at check by fooling them and in-turn checked from disturbing Britishers.
(Like in 1920 Gandhi promised ‘Swaraj within a Year’, one year passed nothing happened. Gandhi’s disciples then only said that the country did not fulfill the conditions and so no Swaraj within a year, LOL)
But he never use to call British coward or evil. Churchill killed 5 million Bengali in artificial famine in 1943. Gandhi was in Jail at that time. But even after his release he didnt abused him but Churchill did, calling him”half-naked fakir”. Gandhi replied-
”Have been long trying to be a fakir and that [too] naked - a more difficult task. I, therefore, regard the expression as a compliment though unintended.”
He was never for Purna Swaraj but for Dominion status only. But After pressure from Nehru and SC Bose(young leaders) he finally submitted for this demand in 1929 (idea said to be inspired by Bhagat Singh’s idea of “Total Independence” in 1927).
Gandhi led 3 nation-wide movements-
Non-Cooperation Movement(1920),
Civil disobedience Movement(1930) and
Quit India movement(1942)
Non-Cooperation Movement(1920),
Civil disobedience Movement(1930) and
Quit India movement(1942)
Civil disobedience movement was actually quite a SUCCESS. It was so wide-spread that British called Gandhi to negotiate in Round Table Conference(RTC) in London, but on condition he stops his movement.
After that British knew Gandhi’s influence on masses, so never after that let him start any movement again. Gandhi even tried Civil Disobedience v2.0 but failed. Had he turned that movement violent then, Freedom was sure as British could not control it.
Remember there was only 1 British over 2000 Indians. Poor strategist.
(Quit India movement was thwarted very quickly by jailing all top leaders same day it started!)

He was a Dictator, never respected peoples choice.
As put by Subhash Bose in his Autobiography-”The Working Committee since 1929 has been elected according to his dictation and no one can find a place on that committee who is not thoroughly submissive to him and his policy.”

In when SC Bose was elected democratically as Congress President in 1939, CWC would not listen to him as he defeated chamcha of Gandhi-Pattabhi Sitaramayya, wanted INC to move on from Satyagrah style of protest. Bose had to resign from Congress and form separate org-Forward Bloc.
>>In 1946 election for Congress President and India’s first PM was held. 12 out of 15 Congress Committees voted for Sardar Patel, despite Gandhi favoring Nehru. But Gandhi asked Patel to withdraw nomination and Nehru to become President.
About Partition- Gandhi said on 3 March, 1947, “If the Congress wishes to accept partition, it will be over my dead body. So long as I am alive, I will never agree to the partition”
Gandhi we all know was famous for his Fasts unto DEATH until his demands were met. He did it for all sorts of things, but WHY NOT TO STOP PARTITION also when he assured he would die for it? Had he done that Jinnah could have budged. Or if he died fasting?
Nation would have erupted to stop anyone demanding partition.
BUT HE DIDN’T DO IT. Result- 10 Lakh died. 1.5 crore became homeless.This was the Largest Mass Migration in human history. It was a clear and absolute betrayal to all Indians.
