What is non-violence? is it merely what is preached by Gandhi baba?
My take on Non-violence.......Gandhi and Munnabhai..
Non Violence is ...The One Religion.....it is even greater than truth (coz truth might hurt somebody)….it is certainly better not to be truthful in some cases.
Is Gandhi a non-violent sage? No, i don't believe it.
Gandhi baba does not appear to know a simple fact -> first, love yourself man ,your body ..Then think about loving others.
Gandhi baba u showed to the world that u r fasting for so and so cause
Isn't it ...inflicting 'hinsa' on your body? Isn’t it a contradiction?
by the way fast unto death as u said it was…..is not fun. It is the worst form of death ……..when the body dies inch by inch..[Jatin Das died fasting after 64 days in British jail. But who remembers him now? I say ”Is bande me tha dum.”]
Those people had “Dum” who had the guts to die horrible deaths...fasting unto death, hanged unto death, shot at ……but not pretending something which they were not…….
People have always been made to believe that Britishers left because of Gandhi baba…
(Britishers just could not carry on with it after suffering economically during Second World War)…….Remember….history is written by winners and in this case by those who clutched onto the power after independence.
The non-violence preached by Lord Mahavira and Buddha is the ultimate form of non-violence. Gandhi’s non-violence is nothing but a political tool which was twisted and used like any other political weapon. It was not even true to its definition….
Think ….about Mahavira and Buddha.....both were Kshatriya princes born in riches and power. Their initial life was surrounded by violence and unbridled power. Still they chose to forsake it. Giving up their arms, they adopted non-violence in its true form.
How can one give up anything which one does not possess?
I read a poem in my Hindi text book in school. Its translation reads “Only that snake can grant life to a person who has poison in its fangs”……
Munnabhai is the apt successor here of this legacy not Gandhi baba……
I repeat …..Munnabhai is better than Gandhi.. He is capable of “hinsa” –he can rip the heart out of his enemy like a lion..but he does not and is truly nonviolent .
Can a rabbit be truly nonviolent ….arre bhai kuch kar hi nahi sakta ……how can a rabbit pardon someone? But yes a rabbit can become Gandhi….(pseudo-nonviolent) …..it just needs favorable press ……..J……… whereas Munnabhai remains a lion who pardons feeble enemies around him and struggles non-violently against them.
I say again “Is bande me tha dum “……….(although he is a fictional character)……..
dum tha ------to face difficulties , death , loss of love, property etc. without resorting to violence when he knew …he could turn the tables easily if he reacted violently.
Well it is just a fictional story but gives valuable lessons.
