Letters from Gandhi
Gandhi - a race realist.
Gandhi was critical of the British Empire, and was as significant as world war two was, in ending the British Raj.
But he was a nationalist, and it is a nationalists duty to fight for the independence of his/her country.
The author of the second video calls Gandhi a 'racist'.
He berates Gandhi for the 'Partition' which created a separate land for Muslims (Pakistan and East Pakistan).
Personally the author of this blog thinks it was a generous gesture to have a partition, thus giving Muslims their own homeland.
The Muslims were in India due to agressive conquest after all, firstly by two Caliphates, then a Sultanate, and finally by the Muslim Mughal Empire.
Hardly a racist then, Gandhi recognized Hindus and Muslims could never live peacfully together, so agreed with the British on a partition.
One wonders how he would comment on the present world situation of today?
