Indira Gandhi

Stefano Eugene Maino

Indira Gandhi's birth name is Indira Priyadarshini Nehru.

Indira Gandhi was actually cremated, not buried. She has a memorial called Shakti Sthal which is near Mahatma Gandhi's memorial Raj Ghat. Her ashes were scattered over the Himalayas and over every one of India's provincial capitols.

She organized children to help the movement by taking over small duties and called it vanar sena

Karamchand Gandhi and Putlibai were the parents of Mahatma Gandhi.
His Roots: The family belonged to the Vaishya caste of farmers and tradesmen in the coastal town of Porbandar near Bombay, where Mohandas's paternal great-grandfather had established himself as a grocer. Gandhi, a Gujarati word for "grocer," was the surname taken by Mohandas's father, Karamchand, in obedience to a British edict intended to simplify the census.

Mohandas's mother, Putlibai (1822-1891)

The assassin, Nathuram Godse, was a social reformer , and a freedom fighter, erroneously perceived as a Hindu nationalist by the media. He killed Gandhi because , Gandhi in his zeal to look "fair, secular and equal" to the world actually actually cowed down under Islamic Fundamentalist pressure and compromised the interests of 30 million Hindus , that eventually led to their massive genocide. In today's context the parallel to this would be something like this. Islamic Fundamentalists wowing to destroy the West and Israel, carry out 9/11. As a response to that The President instead of ordering airstrikes in Pakistan / Afghanistan actually actually says "sorry" to the terrorists and announces a special state called "Islamabad" in USA specially for Moslems where Sharia Law would be allowed. He appeals to the local Christian population that initially occupied that land to evacuate the place to make "place for our moslem brothers". Some people can't stand it and shoot him down. This is just an imaginary situation. No disrespect for The President. We know out President GWB was anything but that but that would be a perfect comparison to help understand Godse's position.
Refer to the the following lines from Godse's own testimony ( available uncensored in Google Docs) that help expound the situation that led Godse to kill Gandhi :-

" From August 1946 onwards, the private armies of the Muslim League began a massacre of Hindus. The then Viceroy, Lord Wavell, though distressed at what was happening, would not use his powers under the Government of India Act of 1935 to prevent the rape, murder and arson. The Hindu blood began to flow from Bengal to Karachi with little retaliation by the Hindus. The Interim Government formed in September was sabotaged by its Muslim League members right from its inception, but the more they became disloyal and treasonable to the government of which they were a part, the greater was Gandhi's infatuation for them. .............
One of the conditions imposed by Gandhi for his breaking of the fast related to the mosques in Delhi occupied by the Hindu refugees. But when Hindus in Pakistan were subjected to violent attacks he did not so much as utter a single word to protest and censure the Pakistan Government or the Muslims concerned. Gandhi was shrewd enough to know that while undertaking a fast unto death, had he imposed some conditions on the Muslims in Pakistan, here would have been found hardly any Muslims who could have shown some grief if the fast had ended in his death. It was for this reason that he purposely avoided imposing any conditions on the Muslims.
He was fully aware from past experience that Jinnah was not at all perturbed or influenced by his fast and the Muslim League hardly attached any value to the inner voice of Gandhi. Gandhi is being referred to as the Father of the Nation. But if that is so, he has failed in his paternal duty in as much he has acted very treacherously to the nation by his consenting to the partitioning of it. I stoutly maintain that Gandhi has failed in his duty. He has proved to be the Father of Pakistan. His inner-voice, his spiritual power, his doctrine of non-violence of which so much is made of, all crumbled against Jinnah's iron will and proved to be powerless.

At the time of Gandhi's death, an Islamic Fundamentalist driven demand to investigate the role of Hindu Organizations in the death of Mr Gandhi was readily conceded by the then ruling party Indian National Congress ( which BTW across its 70+ year ruling span also became notorious for harboring the world largest Swiss Bank accounts and the dubious distinction of the most Corrupt Political Party in the globe ). So called "Hindu Fundamentalist" leaders were thrown in jail, tortured and made to falsely confess relations with Godse . A few months later after all investigations proved these claims baseless , they had to be released.

Many Indian's became heroes during WWII because of the Navajo "code talkers" who were a great benefit to the military. Nobody outside of the tribes could speak Navajo and as a result the Allies had an umbreakable method of communication. When the Code Talkers returned, they were heroes as were any other Native American soldiers. Probably the war delayed independence for India. Due to the brillant political manuevering by Ghandi, the British were planning to leave their richest colony in the 1940's. The war put a stop to independence plans. Meanwhile the British imperial government was highly stressed that even a minor Japanese encroachment into India could trigger massive unrest. The loss of India during the war, especially by popular uprising, would be a massive blow to the British war effort. Basically the British were fighting to maintain the status quo - ie, their empire, colonial policies, and various perogatives around the globe. They also saw themselves as champions of liberty against the evil Germans and Japanese. Had India risen up in revolt that would have put the lie to their political position and forced the British the take a long look at their imperial ambitions. As it was, the Japanese penetrated quite easily into Burma (the eastern part of the greater Indian colony) but there ran out their logistics. The war drug on for some time until the British were able to penetrate the tenuous logistical string of the Japanese and cause a wholesale collapse of Japanese military capabilities. Thus, the war ended and the British were again confronted with Ghandian policies. India was granted independence. Quickly, the nation degenerated into chaos eventually splitting into five major nations (Pakistan, India, Ceylon, Burma, Bangladesh)and several small ones (Bhutan/Nepal/Kashmire). The various borders were rather vague having little historical consequence. This shortly led to a border war with China and on going conflicts between Pakistan and India. It is interesting to note that the Indian subcontinent had not been self ruled for many centuries until 1947. The Mongols had ruled for about eight hundred years before their rule weakened. They were gradually replaced by Portugese, French, and English in the 1800s. Ultimately the English took over the entire area, ruling for about eighty years.

Yes, he beat his wife when both of them were in South Africa. He clearly noted this point in his autobiography.

Yes, he was originally named Mohandas Ghanhi, but later on Indians had begun to call him Mahatma, which means "great soul".

The most important thing you teach child is to he indeoendant

Most politician's average around slightly above average intelligence. I don't know, but I would venture a guess around 115-130. (George Washington was estimated to have an IQ around 120). Leaders don't have to be geniuses to lead.

Our young President Bush is considered only barely average to somewhat smart. Depends who you ask.

Here is an interesting site http:/www.csbsju.edu/uspp/Bush/Bush-IQ-Myth.html

It is located in Naviluteertha which is in the Belgaum district of Karnataka, India

Gandhi was famous for his wisdom and believe that everything should be done in non-violent manner.

He was the greatest leader of India till today and was appeliated by "Mahatma"

He use to says that if someone slaps on your right cheek then forward your left cheek to him for his second slap by this you can make your opponent feel shame and you can win without fight.

He also gave on mantra that when ever you are in deliemma that weather to do the work you are thinking to do or not. Then think about the most poor person you ever met and if your work is going to give any benifit to him directly or indirectly without harming others then just go for it.

He was literally shattered. She was his life long partner. Although they did not always agree they were still there for each other. Perhaps it was also a symbol of changes to come.
