Mahatma Gandhi: Gandhi muss weg!
Er ist eine Ikone, weltweit bewundert für seine Idee des gewaltlosen Widerstands und seine religiöse Toleranz. Doch in Mahatma Gandhis Heimat Indien wollen viele Menschen davon nichts mehr hören. Sie feiern lieber jemand anderen: Gandhis Mörder.
Von Anant Agarwala und Sonia Bouissou
Aktualisiert am 5. November 2023, 18:55 Uhr
Ein Artikel zur aktuellen politischen Situation in Indien, under Modi und der BJP. Es gibt weiß Gott viel, dass man and Ghandi kritisieren könnte, aber dass für ein harmonisches Miteinander, v.a. zwischen Hindus und Muslime plädiert hat, steht außer Zweifel. Was Modi und seine Partei aber mit Ghandis Erbe machen, ist furchterregent, und scheint einige unheimliche Parallelen zu Deutschland in der NS-Zeit zu haben. Artikel steht hinter einer Paywall, hier ist die Paywall geknackte Version: https://archive.ph/OJ41X

'My challenge was to neither put Godse on a pedestal nor to demonise him,' says Chinmay Mandlekar - Times of India
After his act as a terrorist in ‘The Kashmir Files’ got a lot of accolades, actor Chinmay Mandlekar has gotten into the shoes of Nathuram Godse in Rajkumar Santoshi‘s ‘Gandhi Godse Ek Yudh’ which released today. The film has been a major talking point for days now and also faced protest and some bit of backlash. But Chinmay has a fresh perspective on that. The actor spoke to ETimes and opened up…

Dagshai Jail Museum | Explore The Past
1890: Dagshai Jail A British-era garrison jail built in 1849 was transformed into a museum in 2011. It’s the second prison of its sort in India, after the Andamans Cellular Jail.
This T-shaped, fortress-like edifice is positioned on a steep hill. Its 54 high-security cells, some for solitary confinement, feature over-engineered iron grill gates with the largest bolts and keyholes ever. An…

Infamous assassins
Nathuram Godse
Just one year after India won its independence from England, Gandhi was shot three times in the torso on his way to a prayer meeting by Nathuram Godse, apparently due to Godse’s anti-Muslim sentiment and his anger towards Gandhi’s teachings of acceptance (Gandhi himself was a Sanatani Hindu). Against the wishes of Gandhi’s sons, who claimed their father would never support capital punishment, Godse was hung in 1949.

Resources to learn more about Hinduphobia, and Hindu culture.
Making a masterpost about this because I'm getting a lot of asks for it. The list will be updated!
Books to read:
Not Without My Daughter by Betty Mahmoody. This is the memoir of a woman stuck in Iran and how she has to illegally sneak out with her daughter. It doesn't focus on Hinduphobia but it does highlight the violence perpetuated by Muslims to women. This is a true story and a movie has also been made on it. Also, I just need to appreciate how well it's written, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.
Aavarna by S. L. Bhyrappa. This book basically details how Hindu history was derailed and destroyed by Mughal invaders, specifically Aurangzeb, the plot is fictional but the history is real.
All Religions Are Not the Same by Sanjay Dixit. This is a new book and I've just ordered it actually. It discusses the differences between religions and how secularism affects that.
Why I Killed Gandhi by Nathuram Godse. Includes the testimonial of the man who killed Gandhi. I'm about to read this book and I'm excited. Don't be fooled by the one-star reviews.
Some people you can follow on Twitter are Dr Anand Ranganathan, The Skin Doctor, and VivanVatsa. They're all well-read on Hinduphobia and/or Hindu history. Anand Ranganathan also has published books on Hinduphobia, like Hindus in Hindu Rashtra.
Blogs you can follow for awareness, and learning about Hinduphobia/Hindu culture:
@rhysaka (debunking common myths, awareness)
@magic-coffee /@vindhyavasini(debunking common myths, awareness, politics/geopolitics, news, culture)
@anjanadri (debunking common myths, awareness, culture)
@latent-thoughts (history and explanations, culture)
@forgotten-bharat (amazing for the history of ancient India, and culture)
@misalpav (culture, awareness)
Interesting masterposts from other blogs:
Booklist to learn more about Hindu History by @magic-coffee
The Ayodhya Masterpost by @magic-coffee
Some important Hindu literature:
Mahabharata
This is classified as an Itihasa text. It deals with a war between 2 royal factions and is a vehicle for describing the activities of the Avatar Krishna.
Ramayana
This is also an Itihasa text. It provides the biography of Lord Rama who is considered an Avatar of Vishnu.
Bhagavad Gita
This is an important text of the Vedanta school and is treated separately although it is part of Mahabharata. It provides a coherent summary of Vedanta.
Srimad Bhagavatam
This is a Purana and provides a biography of Lord Krishna. This is an important text for the Vaishnava sect of Hinduism.
Shiva Purana and Linga Purana
These Puranas provide the biography of Lord Shiva and are important texts for the Saivite sect of Hinduism.
Chandi or Devi Mahatmyam
This is an important text for Saktas who worship Sakti or Devi. This text is really part of the Markandeya Purana.
But really, the best way to combat Hinduphobia, is to learn about our history and culture, because if you know the truth, you won't fall for the twisted narrative being peddled by the media today. If you've got to the end of this, thank you for educating yourself and learning about us.

30 January 1948: Gandhi is assassinated on his way to prayer
A Hindu nationalist gunman believed the leader had betrayed his people
The clock had ticked past 5pm on 30 January 1948, and in the garden at Birla House, New Delhi, Mohandas Gandhi was running late. At the age of 78, the leader of India’s independence struggle still played a prominent role in the politics of the subcontinent, and had only recently completed a fast in protest at the violence between Hindus and Muslims. Now, the day’s business concluded, he and his great-nieces were on their way to a prayer meeting.
Outside, a crowd of several hundred schoolchildren, businessmen, holy men and even street-sellers was waiting. As Gandhi approached, one man pushed his way to the front. “Bapu [Father] is already 10 minutes late, why do you embarrass him?” asked Gandhi’s great-niece, Manuben. At that, the man pushed her aside, so that she dropped the rosary and notebook she was carrying. Then he levelled his Beretta pistol, and fired.
Whether Gandhi died on the spot remains controversial: some accounts say he breathed his last a few minutes later, after he had been carried inside. Either way, the shots were fatal. His assassin, who was seized immediately, turned out to be 39-year-old Nathuram Godse, a Hindu nationalist who believed that Gandhi had betrayed his people to the Muslims. “I sat brooding intensely on the atrocities perpetrated on Hinduism, and its dark and deadly future if left to face Islam outside and Gandhi inside,” he later told the court, “and… I decided all of a sudden to take the extreme step against Gandhi.” Godse was executed for his actions. But to some Hindu nationalists, he remains a martyr.

You won't mention about how the modi government removed a whole chapter about the Gujrat riots and the emergency chapter.You won't mention how they are trying to hide the fact that nathuram godse.
I don't have any problem with who is Muslim,Hindu or Christian. I hate people who have extremist religious beliefs.The modi government is trying to remove everything about Mughal kingdom.ok I know the fact they are glorified alot in our textbooks and we aren't taught about indian kingdom.I believe they should teach us both Abt Mughal and indian kingdom but I don't think so that is possible under the modi government bcuz they have extremist religious beliefs.Forgetting about the mughals won't do anygood bcus even they played important role of what India is today.
Hey, are you some sort of miracle child who skipped the entirety of seventh grade or something? Because this is what those books look like:
The first two chapters cluster all the indigenous empires together and basically breeze through them, the third one is more expanded, and the rest are just various parts of this mega chapter called “Mughal empire”. Nothing in those chapters is discussed indpendently of the Mughals. EVERYTHING these chapters talk about is basically how the *topic touched in the chapter* was under the mughal kings and their policies with a little preface that talked about how things were before.
Take the chapter about devotion for example. You would think that the bhakti movement saints like Goswami Tulsidas, Mirabai, Swami Surdas, Raskhan, Kabir would get their due because of the changes they brought in devotional traditions that we still follow to this day, but NOPE. Nope nope nope. All about how the great secular mughals combined Sufism with Vaishnavism or whatever. All about how muslim traditions intermingled with pre existing Hindu ones but little about how they were shaped.
(And this can be said for the parallel sixth grade chapter aswell. We get the stories of Mahatma Budhha and Lord Mahavira in detail but any reference to the previous 23 tirthankars, including Lord Rishabhnath are missing. And simply forget about any reference of Hinduism other than a few passing references.)
And bhakti chapter is actually the most mellow one of them since it has some indic elements. Every other chapter is basically chanting the Mughal name. And ridiculously enough, despite having six chapters to themselves after a measly 300 year rule, No references to how awful they were to the Hindus and the crimes against us, where millions of us perished, are referred to.
You would think that a dynasty that was being sucked off by the previous education ministers would have all its glory, including the tower of our skulls made by the patriarch, would receive its deserved place in the history but nope :P
No changes whatsoever are being brought to these chapters despite their unnecessary length in glorifying the most trivial things, and their erasure of the Hindu massacres where atleast a hundred million of us were put to death for our infidel indentity.
Only the chapters in higher secondary, where they go in even deeper lengths to glorify even more trivial things are being removed in favour of a chapters that will actually teach about the 5000+ years history of bharatvarsha that existed before the mughals and the invading arab,turkish empires, our indegenious history, our true culture and beliefs that has been rushed in favour of these 500 years.
Oh, and not to mention that the formation of Sikhism, the pinnacle of Rajput empires and the Rise of Marathas happened in the same time. How much did you learn about it?
Yes, Mughals are sadly, a part of our history. But so is the history that us the people of aryavart forged ourselves, when we were self ruling, and that history is ten times as big as “our” mughal history that sits cross legged on the biggest share of recognition in our history textbooks. 10% of our history being cut is unfair, but the fact that 90% of it is already cut to give 10% an even bigger chance to ✨Ѕℋℐℕℰ✨ is fair?
Exactly how much did Mughals do that two out of like 10-12 chapters about their minor rule (where one crucial side of them is being deliberately concealed), that too the ones that were repetative, being cut is a great loss to our knowledge?
You say that Modi government is religious extremist. How so? By doing exactly what everyone wanted? Cutting two unnecessary (and repeptative aswell) chapters in favour of those which will teach us about the larger part of history that is overshadowed by this tiny chunk of half-true history? How is that extremist?
If anything, BJP is actually favouring the leftist narrative by letting the propaganda-esque chapters in seventh grade be as they are, not even trying to bring the monstrosity of the Mughals to light despite the expectations people had. People should be thankful to him, he’s saving face of their beloved Aurangzeb and Shah Jahan and they have the gal to call him a rightwing extremist.
Oh, and while we are at it, might aswell suggest you to go ahead and search what “extreme” right looks like. The current BJP government is not a good example of that, although its lower party members (MLAs, MPs) and sister organisations like VHP and Bajrang Dal are. Compare those to the BJP, and you will see that the centre is anywhere but extreme. Maybe Centre leaning to Moderate about now, but definitely not extremist.
You’d expect such “politically aware” folks who rage out in your dms to know that, but honestly, if you cannot tell this basic difference despite having actual extremists in your country, exactly how much politically knowledgeable are you?
Not enough, because if you were you would see how biased those paragraphs were:
A one sided account of the riots where, even if they were not pointing fingers at Gujrat Government for something they had been acquitted of directly, they did have NHRC report which solely faulted the Government without any true basis. The paras targeted Modi precisely, and accused him of the issue in a manner that seemed to have an ulterior motive.
Who in their right mind would let people read a defamatory para about themselves when they have the power to stop it?
Same with the passage dealing with RSS; other organisations that were banned alongside, including some other religions’ organisations, don’t have a mention anywhere. Only the “Hindu extremists” are mentioned as if their were no other extremists at all (plot twist: there were).
And exactly how does BJP gain from removing emergency? That’s one of the greatest follies of their opponent, if anything they should be propagating it. Tbt, THIS one genuinely seems like an attempt to rationalise because this is a political loss BJP has done to self without any reason.
But you know what? I feel like there were better ways than simply cutting the deleted portions (except Mughals) aswell. Editing those could have helped aswell. So yes, I will go and say that those bits should not have been removed (Or should have been if they truly were repetative? I don’t know, I did not take humanities in +1) but edited.
Hiding history is an injustice to the past, whatever your reasons.
So if this is not repetative or otherwise unserving to the syllabus as a whole, or just not fit to be taught with other portions, It should not have been removed, but altered. Yet, I see that currently the editing and rewriting of books is ongoing, so maybe there will be proper replacements in the future? If not, raising questions against that until a proper answer is given will be our own duty
Either ways, that is all from me. If there is anything more you wanna say, my DM is open for it all. Peace.✌🏼

MURDERED: Mahatma Ganhdi (Prime Time Crime)
On January 30th, 1948, Mahatma Ganhdi, the famous Indian activist, left his home at the Birla House in New Delhi. It was late in the afternoon and he had his grandnieces with him. At 5:17 pm, a Hindu nationalist named Nathuram Godse approached Ganhdi and 3 fired shots at him. This is where the acounts differ. Some reports claim Ganhdi died instantly and others say he was taken inside a house where he died 30 minutes later. Either way, Godse's actions left Ganhdi dead. Godse did not attempt to run away and instead, he surrendered at the scene. It was later revealed he was linked to the extremist Hindu Mahasabha political party. At his trial, Godse said he assassinated Gandhi because of his "complacence towards Muslims." Godse was found guilty and executed in 1949. Mahatma Gandhi's death was mourned nationwide.
