Gandhi is definitely not above criticism and blame.

Yet, says @arvindneela, in the grand canvas of history, he explored means to assert an assimilative Hindu identity when the Hindu nation was being attacked by proselytising forces.

That many Hindutva leaders and ideologues have religiously followed the thoughts and actions of Gandhi is self-evident.

What makes it appear like a fantastical claim are the distortions done to Gandhi’s ideals.

Did Savarkar think Gandhi a sissy or is it another case of distortion by 'eminent historians'?

swarajyamag.com/politics/did-s…

When Amit Shah had reportedly called Gandhi a 'bahut chatur Baniya', was he mocking him, as some alleged, or paying a tribute?

@orsoraggiante

@orsoraggiante @kumaraswamyJNU The misconception is that if we reject non-violence, we must fall into violence—there is no alternative beyond those two opposite poles.

That is a costly confusion, and one which Gandhi hypnotised us into--Michel Danino

To understand Mahatma Gandhi’s position on political economy, one must go to the first few verses of his favourite Upanishad.

swarajyamag.com/magazine/the-i…

"Another symbol in the Gandhian proto-ecological worldview is the cow. He saw the emergence of cow protection in Indian religion as “one of the most wonderful phenomena in human evolution”".

@TheJaggi

Gandhi’s core ideas are all anachronistic in today’s digital world, but somewhere his moral principles have driven change in the direction he desired. He was right in some ways, but often for the wrong reasons— @TheJaggi

Q: When and where did the second wave begin?

A: Data suggests that the origins of the second wave lie in the heart of the so-called farmers’ agitation, from early January 2021 onwards.

Also, spread of 2nd wave mirrors movement of farmers' protest.

swarajyamag.com/politics/data-…

The data is publicly available—origins of the second wave can be traced to the heart of the so-called farmers’ agitation, from early January 2021.

swarajyamag.com/politics/data-…

Data is clear: the second wave has its origins in the farmers’ protests – exactly as was feared at the time – a full month before fresh, lethal clusters began to ravage Mumbai and Pune.
