(An Article by Chandrashekar U)
Mohandas karamchand Gandhi was born on 2nd October 1869, in Porbandar in a Gujarati family. He became one of the most honorable political leaders of Indian history. He struggled to free India from the British rule through a new way of non-violence. He was honored by the people as the Father of the Indian Nation. He was greatly respected and was called by the people as ‘Babuji’ (Father). He lived as a simple man and with his great personality he won the hearts of lakh of people. He was known for his honesty and simplicity. He believed in truth and till his death, he followed the route of truth and non violence way to get freedom.
In his childhood, Mohandas was greatly moved by the Harishchandra drama, and this influenced him to believe in truth and made to struggle for its stability. At 13 years of age, he got married to kasturba as engaged by his parents. His wife, kasturba gave a supporting hand and encouraged him in all his works. They were blessed with four sons, harilal, Manilal, Ramdas and Devdas. Although Gandhi showed loving and kindness to every people, he was quite severe with his family.
Gandhi went to London to train as a barrister for 3 years. In 1893, he went to South Africa on a legal work, those days it was under the control of British and he saw that there was a racial discrimination between the different races. All the Indian immigrants over there were treated badly and abusively. This made Gandhi to stay there for the period of 22 years for securing the rights of Indian people. There he participated in the battle of Boyer from 1899-1902 and in juludhange (1906) and started the protest for the rights of Indian people in South Africa. In this period he developed a peaceful method of protest called Satyagraha. Gandhi believed that non violence and civil disobedience was the only method to obtain their social rights. As the result of this protest, in 1914, the South African Government accepted many of the Gandhi`s demands and this was his first victory for his truthfulness.
In1915, Gandhi returned back to India. For the first time he led the campaign of Satyagraha on behalf of Plantation workers in Bihar. In 1919, he actively participated in the National movement against the Rowlett Act, which led to the Jallianwala bagh massacre by the British troops in Punjab. This massacre resulted in the deaths of 1200 innocent people and many more injured. Gandhi continued to protest severely and in the same year he also participated in the khilafat movement on the behalf of kalifer in turkey against the British troops.
In 1920, Gandhi was recognized as an important person in Indian politics. He transformed the Indian national congress, which intended in a peaceful non cooperation movement. People refused to use the goods manufactured by the British, thousands of students left their educational institutions, and government employees boycotted their organizations. The Great Nationalist Subhash Chandra Bose resigned from the Indian Civil service. The famous poet Rabindranath Tagore returned his Night hood award.
British Government took critical measures, banned the congress committee and prohibited the outdoor social gatherings. As a result the great leaders like Motilal Nehru, his son Jawaharlal Nehru, Subhash Chandra Bose, and C. R. Das were arrested. At the place called Chauri-Chaura, near Gorakhpur village, a group of activists broke the non violence and violently attacked the nearby police station. Because of this act, Gandhi took back the non cooperation movement, inspite of the refusal of many patriots. This shows Gandhi`s commitment towards his truthfulness.
In 1920, the relationship between Hindus and Muslims was getting worsened, that time Gandhi was sentenced to imprisonment. Gandhi felt disheartened hearing about the news; he could not believe that our own bloods are hurting each others. As soon as he was released from the prison, in 1924, he underwent fasting (‘Upavasa’) for 21 days. As a result, all party meeting held in Mumbai and Gandhi was requested to withdraw his upavasa. But after some days the fight continued between Hindus and Muslims. He withdrew from the politics; to devote in improving Hindu-Muslim relations was in serious condition.
In 1930, Gandhi announced a new campaign of civil disobedience in the protest against the tax on salt, leading thousands of people on a ‘dandi March’ from Sabarmati ashram to west coast of dandi to symbolically make their own salt from seawater. Around 90,000 people, along with Gandhi were arrested and everybody felt it as an honor going to jail.
In 1931, a round table Conference was held in London and Gandhi attended the conference as a sole representative of the Indian National Congress. But he could not get any result from the conference meeting. He resigned from the party in 1934 in protest at its use of non violence as political expedient. Gandhi was replaced by Jawaharlal Nehru.
In 1945, the British government under the charge of Mountbatten concluded to grant freedom to India in the year 1947, by partitioning into India and Pakistan. Millions of people were died in the violent attacks between Hindus and Muslims. Gandhi was always against the partition but there was no alternative choice as it could have led to Civil war. On January 13, 1948, he aged 78, underwent fasting with the purpose of stopping the bloodshed caused by the calamity. He was assassinated by a fellow Hindu fanatic, Nathuram godse, who felt that Gandhi was disloyal to the Hindus. Our great spiritually respected leader became the great soul (Mahatma) of India.
