How Gandhi invoked 1st Caliph of Islam Abu Bakr in 1937 to implore Indian National Congress🧵

We all have seen how much Gandhi loved Muslims and How much he chastised Hindus whenever they reacted to Muslim savagery during the riots in the erstwhile British India, But in 1937 Gandhi went a bit far in placating his favorite theological children.
Read on......Image
1. The Experiment

The British allowed the 1937 elections in India as part of the reforms introduced by the Government of India Act of 1935. This act aimed to grant limited self-governance to Indians while maintaining British control over key areas like defense and foreign affairs. The elections were held to establish provincial legislative assemblies, giving Indians a degree of political participation.
The British hoped these reforms would appease growing nationalist demands while ensuring their authority remained intact. However, the elections also allowed the Indian National Congress to gain significant political power, forming governments in several provinces and strengthening the independence movement. It was a calculated move by the British, but it had unintended consequences for their colonial rule.

Congress won 5 states compared to 2 by Muslim League.Image

2. The message

As usual Congress Super President Mohan Das Karam Chand Gandhi started imposing his fraud of so called "Minimalist Life Style" on the newly elected congress provincial govts. In July 1937 Gandhi wrote in his Newspaper Harijan that all Congress ministers shall stick to a minimalist life style matching the life style of their electors.
This was written by a m an who kept his Goats healthy with then Rs 10 as their monthly expense and this excludes expenses for the foreign travel of these goats whenever they would accompany Gandhi during his trips to U.K. !!Image

1931 Kanpur Riots Report - How Aurangzeb was declared a saint by Indian National Congress🧵
Do you know Indian National Congress adopted official policy to re-write India's history in 1931 to proclaim that Islam is a peaceful religion??
Lets check the literary desecration of India's history by the Indian National Congress and birth of re-writers of India's history!!
Read on.....Image
1. The Riots

On 23rd March 1931 after the hanging of Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Shaheed Rajguru, Shaheed Sukhdev, Indian National Congress declared Bharat Bandh.
But in Kanpur few Muslims aligned with British govt and kept their shops open.
This led to social friction with INC workers asking for a complete bandh.
On 24th March 1931 riots started and continued for next 6 weeks leaving 400 dead and almost half of Kanpur burnt to ashes.
The most famous causality of these riots was Congress leader Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi. He was a close friend of Bhagat Singh and Shaheed Chandrashekhar Azad.

Communal riots broke in Kanpur in march 1931 when Muslim shopkeepers refused to close their shops on the request of Hartal by Hindu congressmen. Vidyarthi threw himself in the riots and at many instances saved Muslims from Hindu crowd and Hindus from Muslim mob.

The worst phase of riots began after the hanging of Bhagat Singh on March 23. Vidyarthi was shattered by the loss of his friend. But he had his dharma ahead of him, so he didn’t mourn for long. He asked help from deputy collector and he promised to provide him with escorts. But, as evident from the letters written by Vidyarthi a day before his death, the police did nothing but watched the bloodbath like a spectator.

On march 25, Vidyarthi found a young Hindu who had saved about thirty muslim men, women and children from the blood thirsty mob. The injured had to be taken to the hospital in a lorry without any escort. Meanwhile, the crowd had set houses on fire. Vidyarthi helped people come out of their burning houses and sent the injured in rescue lorry. After the lorry loaded with the victims left, he was left alone with few volunteers.

The two constables who were accompanying them also left. Now, Vidyarthi was trapped between two crowds from both directions of the road, bareheaded and barefooted. The first set of crowd reached him but he was not touched because some among the crowd recognized him from the previous day helping Muslims.

But the other set of crowd wasn’t so thoughtful. He was dragged on the lane by the crowd. The volunteers tried to stop it but Vidyarthi Ji denied any help and said that it was his destiny to die while doing his duty. One volunteer was stabbed to death and others fled for their lives.

Now, Vidyarthi was alone amongst the cruel mob. One among the mob bowed his head down and the other stabbed him in the back with an axe. Once he fell, he was stabbed multiple times and stamped upon by the feet of the mob.

His dead body was found two days later in a gunny sack. His face was completely disfigured and his identity was confirmed by his clothes, letters in his pockets, peculiar hairstyle and a tattoo on his arms. Mahatma Gandhi said that his blood was the cement that would ultimately bind the two communities.

2. The Aftermath

The devastation these riots brought was further fueled by official inaction of then British govt.
Tabligh Movement, which was founded by Maulana Muhammad Ilyas Kandhlawi in 1926 and origin of Muslim League has further fueled the religious tension in India by that time. A new movement which originated form Tabligh Movement was Tanzim movement which was fanned by Muslim league rhetoric that Indian National Congress is a Hindu party which actually it was not.
But 1927 Kanpur riots had sowed the seeds of religious strife while Mahatma Gandhi kept on peddling his agenda of Muslim first in a Hindu majority country.
By March of 1931, Hindus and Muslims had diverged politically and economically. The
National Civil Disobedience Movement had caused the initial fracture and subsequent religious
developments ensured that both religious groups would see their interests as conflicting rather than
as collaborative. In the span of eight years, from 1922-1930, when the Nationalist Movement was
inactive, religious organizations proliferated to the extent that they divided Hindus and Muslims
into two camps.
The Congress Movement came to be regarded as a Hindu party, advancing exclusively Hindu interests while the Tanzim Movement gained ground as a platform for Muslims.

In Kanpur, the day after the execution became known, hurried preparations were put in
place for a hartal (boycott) to commemorate Baghat Singh’s execution in a nationwide
campaign.

The Congress Party in Kanpur had “chalked out a programme for the observance of Bhagat Singh Day” which included a citywide “hartal, bare-footed and bare-headed, silent procession, [and a] meeting in the evening.”

Although Congress leaders headed preparations to inform shopkeepers, “boys and young men would see that a hartal in honour of their own hero, Bhagat Singh, would be a strict and complete.”172 The strict enforcement of the hartal gave way to increasing resentment of Muslim shopkeepers and small clashes erupted across the city the morning of March 24th as
occupants of vehicles were forced to dismount.

By noon on March 24th, the small skirmishes that had led to prominent members of the
Congress Party traversing Kanpur on foot and quelling the small clashes had evolved into larger
acts of violence. Gangs of young men shattered shop windows and threatened shopkeepers with
further acts of vandalism if the shops remained open.

A witness cited in the Kanpur Riots Commission Report, Rai Sahib Rup Chand Jain, a banker and an Honorary Magistrate, corroborated Sale’s testimony.
Declaring “a large number of rowdy Muslims were seen scattered on Halsey and Moolganj roads
armed with lathis (clubs), ballams (spears), khantas (axes), etc.

The Kanpur Riots resulted in the deaths of over 400 people and left a city devastated. In
six days, from March 24th to March 30th 1931, eighteen mosques were burnt, forty-two temples
plundered and over 250 houses damaged.4 Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi, the President of the
United Provinces Provincial Congress Committee, died attempting to protect Hindus from a
Muslim mob, and in every mohalla (neighborhood) of the city, stories emerged of the brutal
atrocities that had taken place.

The aftermath of the riot saw the Governor in Council of the province dismiss District Magistrate, J.F Sale, the highest British civil servant in Kanpur, and
charges of official (British) inaction during the riots coupled with the mismanagement of police
forces became front-page news. The riots, in 1931, conjured up “scenes of devastation,”.
The Leader, an Indian newspaper with a pro-Congress Party slant, daily depicted in April editions of
the newspaper that how much devastation these riots led to.Image
