Gandhi's bad leadership
|
In the World Trade Center disaster, loss of lives were around 4 Thousands.
In the TSUNAMI, loss of lives were around 200 Thousands.
In the Hiroshima, nuclear bombing, loss of lives were around 60 Thousands.
In the Nagasaki, nuclear bombing, loss of lives were around 40 Thousands.
But in India, during partition, loss of lives were around One Million.
Besides that, 14 Million left their home to take up residence across the border.
Whose mistake? What went wrong? Who had to be blamed?
Was it a mistake of the British? No.
Indians asked for it and British fullfilled it.
British also let the world know that it was because of British, India was united.
Was it a mistake of Jinna? No. Certainly not.
As any other ambitious politician, Jinna wanted to lead the nation.
Jinna realised that Gandhi was partial to Nehru.
There will be no chance for Jinna, to lead India.
So Jinna planned for a separate nation, Pakistan.
As per Jinna's plan, the nation PAKISTAN would consist of
the six provinces of the Punjab, North-West Frontier, Sind,
Baluchistan, Bengal & Assam.
If Jinna's plan had accepted, there would not have been the loss of lives.
Then, was it a mistake of Nehru? No.
As any other ambitious politician, Nehru wanted to become the Prime Minister.
Nehru should have either accepted Jinna's plan or would have rejected it.
But Nehru suggested the alternative.
That was Partitioning the Punjab & Bengal.
Bengal was partitioned as West Bengal & East Bengal.
Nehru took the West Bengal & gave East Bengal to Jinna.
Similarly, Punjab was partitioned.
Nehru took the eastern part of Punjab & gave the western part to Jinna.
This was the worst decision those politicians made.
Jinna was not responsible for all those lose of lives.
It was Nehru.
If Jinna's plan was accepted, Punjab would have never been partitioned.
Advani would have continued to live in Punjab.
Manmohan Singh would have continued to live in Punjab.
Jinna's only wish was to become the Prime Minister of a nation.
Jinna did not wish to establish a muslim nation.
Since Gandhi was dominating in Congress, and Gandhi was partial to Nehru,
Jinna realised that there was no scope for his political career.
It was because Gandhi & Nehru, Jinna went to Muslim League.
If Advani, Manmohan & Manishankar lived in Punjab, then
Pakistan would have been an other secular nation.
So, was Nehru to be blamed for all those mess?
No ! It was Gandhi to be blamed for all those mess.
Gandhi said, His Life, His Message.
So, let us learn from Gandhi's mistakes.
It was the mistake of Gandhi. Gandhi created so many politicians.
Nation had not got freedom yet. But politicians were already there.
We will analyse, how did Gandhi go wrong?
Another interesting fact...
There would not have been a Pakistan at all, if Nehru had cut his loose talks.
In 1931, Jinna withdrew from the Indian political scene to settle in London,
where he took up law practice. Jinna had no intention of returning.
In a private dinner party, Nehru had indiscreetly said, "Jinnah is finished".
An infuriated Jinnah packed up and sailed back to India just to 'show Nehru..'.
Jinnah's self-imposed exile had lasted about three years.
So, Jinnah was a secular leader. No doubt about it.
But, why Advani is using Jinnah's name now?
Is Advani trying to emerge as a Leader by uniting people and not dividing them.
Is Advani trying to come out of the party boundaries?
But Advani lacks Integrity.
With his Rath Yatra to Ayodhya, the nation's image and reputation had damaged.
It was worse than any corruption.
Advani can never emerge as a Leader of the nation with out his party's support.
Jinna is not going to help Advani !
