A racist Mahatma, an agent of the British?

Since independence we Indians have been led to believe that the British left India because of one Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi who was therefore a 'Mahatma', which means 'a great soul'. Gandhi has been used by our politicians for their own ends. The Congress has used Gandhi for a brand of 'secularism' which grants extra rights to so called 'minorities' and seeks to eradicate Hinduism. Alcohol is prohibited in Gujarat because Gandhi abstained. Socialism was written into our constitution by Indira Gandhi, who won the general election in 1971 with the slogan 'garibi hatao', and led to the economic crisis of 1991 when the IMF and the World Bank forced the Narasimha Rao government to reform. Poverty was extolled in Hindi movies while wealth was always criminal. Why? Because Gandhi lived in an ashram, ate vegetarian food, and wore khadi, causing Churchill to call him a " half naked fakir ". So Indians were exhorted to adopt poverty and sacrifice for the nation which did not stop the Gandhis from accumulating a fortune, living in houses worth billions of rupees and passing down the leadership of the Congress from one generation to the next like a family heirloom. Sadly it seems possible that the divine Gandhi had feet of clay after all. A book titled, ' The South African Gandhi: Stretcher-Bearer of Empire ' by professors Ashwin Desai and Goolam Vahed of South Africa, portray a very different image of Gandhi when he was in South Africa from 1893-1914. He campaigned for separate entrances at the post office for Indians and Africans, calling them 'raw Kaffir' and 'Natives'. The British called us natives in India. In 1893 Gandhi wrote," I venture to point out that both English and the Indians spring from a common stock, called Indo-Aryan...... A general belief seems to prevail in the Colony that the Indians are little better, if at all, than savages or the Natives of Africa. Even children are taught to believe in that manner, with the result that the Indian is being dragged down to the positions of a raw Kaffir." And again," We believe also that the white race in South Africa should be the predominating race." A racist and a believer in white supremacy. So did Gandhi reform later or, as some believe, was an agent of the British who did everything to prolong British occupation of India. Maybe, his love for minorities was an attempt to wipe out Hindus because Churchill believed that Indians were " A beastly people with a beastly religion." Does it explain why the present government is refusing to disclose files of Subash Chandra Bose? Their excuse is that it will spoil relation with foreign countries, which is pure dung because all the actors are dead and Wikileaks has been disclosing US files about the Gandhi family without any problems. Did Gandhi have something to do with the disappearance of Bose because he did not like him? Truth will out someday, we hope.
