The Ugly Truth About Gandhi

[@robbiemal1751]

As an Indian, I am not a fan of Gandhi. In fact, a lot of people are not

[@ItIsYouAreNotYour]

What about the Ghandi dot?

Right

[@ItIsYouAreNotYour]

@@gitstoopid How many temp themselves with their niece? Everyone has a "bad" side to them. It doesn't overshadow the positive.

[@leoda_lion4107]

Clearly Ghandi looked at everything through the lens of how he grew up, and as an Indian. Not as someone who understands other cultures. Because he grew up in eastern culture, where pacifism is normalized, he thought that everyone would be on board with it. In reality, the real world doesn't work like that. Terrorists are still bad people, and will do bad things. Dictators are still bad guys and will commit horrible atrocities, no matter how much you bend the knee. This is not seen as resistance, but weakness. There is a time and place for Ghandi's theory of non-aggressive resistance. During a time of war, is not one of them. And no, killing 5 million or 6 million Jews is the biggest crime of the century. Mao Zedong killed 60 MILLION of his own people, and no one in the West talks about it.

[@melodygrim471]

I agree with you! And I heard the truth about Mother Theresa while she was still alive. So I agree with you, there, too!

[@adowajahzara6931]

How have I never heard of these horrible things about Gandhi before? It changes things a great deal.

[@livefree1030]

US History also leaves out that they Sanctioned and did a Naval Blockade on Japan, and Japan told the US if they place the US Navy in Pearl Harbor it's an act of War. So the US put the US Navy in Pearl Harbor. Then Japan Attacked Pearl Harbor.

[@ItIsYouAreNotYour]

Should dig into a lot of history, a lot of it's not being told correctly. I suggest you be decent at Math, specifically addition and subtraction when you get to world war 2.

[@hosswik]

For me the worst thing he did is what his doctor spread rumors about with his wife. He claimed that he denied allowing her to take medication that could save her life…. Then when he got sick with the same thing he held out taking it too… for all of 2 days, then he took it himself.

[@ep3905]

[@DaisyChain3339.]

It amazes me what people don't know. Mother Teresa is another one. They lied to you about Hitler too.

[@dafluent1]

Remember back then you couldn’t get a lot of the info that you can today. Only what was on the news or in books. Just like MLK’s past

[@JohnRice992]

Idolizing anyone is always a bad idea. It is said that if you put faith in a Human Being, you will be disappointed badly. I remember the term being "Hero Worship." After childhood, you should let that sort of thing go, have faith in just yourself, because you can only control you.

I still know a few Democrats that idolize Che Guevara (not knocking Democrats btw, these 8 specific people are all registered Democrats. ) The called me a fascist and stopped talking to me when I pointed out the irony of them wearing a Pride Month T-Shirt…. While also wearing a jacket with patches of Che’s face on multiple parts of their jacket.

[@KamiSlayer86]

Ghandi take down? Lets go.

[@mamaalaska]

I am in my 80th year of life and I agree with you, Mr. Boyd. I’m not only Gandhi but mother Theresa they are as equally reprehensible and in any sane place or time should have been rebuked for who and what they openly were. Living 80 years with my eyes wide open Has been very difficult but also very freeing. There are others in history that have been canonized as almost or in mother Theresa‘s case was made a saint yet I don’t understand how she could’ve been a saint if she performed no miracles. Which I believe in the Catholic religion is one of the dictates. What she did with children was beyond despicable. I’ll leave it at that. And if anyone wants to come at me for that, go for it because you don’t matter and your opinion, doesn’t change my 80 years of, understanding that when you walk like a duck you like a duck, you act like a duck you look like a duck you’re a duck.

12:55 there are 2 meanings of the word Kaffir, one used solely in South Africa which is derogatory to SAs (Africans in general) and term Kafir used in the rest of the word solely means *Non-Believer* (of Islam)

[@houseaccount3293]

You can put Nelson Mandela on the top of a list of bad people who did a few good things. The man put tires on peoples necks put them to the flame. Hundreds of people lost their life before Mandela was arrested and put in prison. And these were not the Afrakaans they were his own people he was "fighting" for.

[@kusaselihlengubane8984]

That's just simply untrue. The tire on the neck was being done much later in SA while he was in prison. No he was arrested essentially for plotting to take down the Apartheid government.

[@justinjesse2107]

I'm going to need you to provide some sources. As a South African who reads history a lot, I've never heard of this. "Necklacing" as it is called, did happen during Apartheid, but I have never heard of Mandela himself being involved.

[@erikamarie1303]

I’m sorry but I don’t see what is wrong with necklacing & are you a person in the African diaspora speaking about this subject or someone outside of it? That was directed towards HouseAccount b/c necklacing was heroic af, esp those guilty of the crime. People are fighting for their life & liberty and ANYONE who stood against it, even if they’re in the community… I don’t feel bad for. Anyone helping oppressors are the oppressors… I don’t see how this is comparable to the evil works & beliefs of that horrid ghandi. And to put him at the top of this list? Fuck no, American presidents, Ghandi, Hitler, Epstein, shoot even Diddy, R Kelly, or Bill Cosby would be up waaaaaaaaassy before Mandela tf. Idk that comment gives that you don’t understand oppression & what people had to do to get the liberties and freedoms we have now. Unless you’re talking about something that wasn’t necklacing but it seems like you were & honestly as someone in the African diaspora… that was needed AF

[@houseaccount3293]

@@erikamarie1303 There is no way you could have wrote this comment and knew what necklacing is/was. Because horrifically taking someone's life in the manner that this does is horrific and sadistic.

[@Emperor_tomato_ketchup]

Now that you've done Ghandi do MLK

[@AngelaGoodwin-fh6fw]

After I heard about this a couple of years ago, I could no longer look at him as a hero of the people. The caste system helped shape his racist and classist beliefs, but he saw his own Brahmin caste as equal to the white British colonists. His exploitation of his niece and other young women, and cold, harsh treatment of his wife make him not worthy of MY respect.

[@lawlietriver8869]

Here is the thing, a person can be evil yet be a net positive. It is not a pleasant thought, but it is a true thought. Ghandi is an example of that. I do believe the world is better for having him, but I would never want to hang with this man. To me, because I live in that better world, he is vile. EDIT: The better that makes me think of him as vile is not precisely based on his works. It is more so that other imperfect and sometimes evil people made it happen. Better is better, and that is objective fact. I can appreciate and condemn at the same time.

[@axebeard6085]

IMO, it is important to remember that becoming a better person is a life-long process that you should work on every day. Unfortunately, not everyone prioritizes this.

[@ItIsYouAreNotYour]

Using your niece to beat temptation sort of tends to destroy that process.

[@sketchtherapy1218]

The video obviously wanted to change the mind of those who idolized him after cursory knowledge.Don't be obtuse it makes you seem unintelligent.

[@ettcha]

Terrible stuff. What I know of him comes from memes from some game and the image of Ben Kingsley playing him. That said, I think dismissing the 'product of his time' thing is disingenuous, no matter how much people think his intelligence should have precluded him from such beliefs. Part of the caste system is deeply rooted in colourism. Being darker is still often associated with being lower caste. A person raised in that would more likely take a dim view of black Africans. Acknowledging that doesn't absolve or excuse him, but it does help us see how a person can come to that way of thinking. Him only changing his view a few years before his death is actually quite a rare thing. To this day with all the 'enlightenment' we have in spades, we still have people going to their graves with a death grip on their racist beliefs.
