There is such a neighbor in our country that civilization has been founded for thousands of years, either in the face of being beaten or on the way to being beaten. The caste system exploited the people at the bottom for three thousand years, but no one came out to take the lead in rebellion. It is such a strange civilization that one person has been advocated by the West this year, and that is Gandhi.
Born into the nobility, he was sent to England to study law at a young age, which is a typical Indian elite route, that is, to receive cultural enlightenment in India→ grow up to study abroad, especially in the host country of Britain→ and then return to India to work for the elite. But he didn't have the heart to study the law in Britain, and every day he was idle to find a restaurant that suited his appetite. When he returned to India, the first thing he did was to force his family to eat with knives and forks, wear British clothes, and make his wife work hard to learn how to be the wife of a qualified British lawyer, always considering herself An Englishman.
In India, Gandhi's legal knowledge was not of much use. He began to travel to South Africa, a British colony with deep-rooted racial discrimination, Gandhi as a person of color encountered a series of discrimination and insults, making him determined to lead the South African Indians against racial discrimination. He found that the British taxed Indians in South Africa more than the locals, so he organized workers' demonstrations every three to five minutes. The British had never seen such a battle in South Africa, and they were so frightened that they quickly grabbed him and beat him up.
In 1915, Gandhi returned to India after more than 20 years of upheaval in South Africa. The first thing he did when he returned to India was to run around the country to understand the real situation of life of the people in the country, which gave him a lot of prestige. A year later, Gandhi gave a speech promoting his theory of nonviolence. For the war that was underway at that time, he called on Indians to enthusiastically join the British army, not afraid of bloody sacrifice, not afraid of hardships and fatigue, and actively helped the British army win the First World War, hoping to move britain in exchange for India's autonomy. In this regard, the British said "little brother, I am very moved, next time for sure". Then he was rejected.
Within two years, in India, the British colonists massacred the natives, and Gandhi repeated the same set of demonstrations in South Africa, but called on everyone to lay down their weapons, and as a result, he was arrested by the British and locked up in a small black house for two years. In protest, Gandhi announced a hunger strike after his release from prison, of course, this obviously failed.... Later, Gandhi was elected to the leadership of the Indian Congress Party, during which time he witnessed many violent incidents in the British government, and high-profile announcements abandoned the idea of "non-violent non-cooperation", which caused confusion in the thinking of the Congress Party. The Englishman who was watching the play saw it, "Yo, don't be non-violent, that is to say, do you want violent resistance?" So he punched Gandhi again, and then locked him up in a small black house for 6 years.
In 1929, Gandhi returned from prison, wanted India's independence, and regained the flag of non-violence, organized a protest march, and exhorted everyone to untie the armed peace complaint in his speech. Under Gandhi's repeated jumping operations, the British had no choice but to imprison him for another two years... Gandhi was afraid that he was not addicted to going to jail, and he relied on porcelain on a road every day.
Later, World War II broke out. When gandhi came out, he continued his quest for independence, telling the British that we in India would not help you fight the war, and drafting a declaration calling on Britain to withdraw from India, so Gandhi was imprisoned for another two more years. In 1944, when the Japanese Expeditionary Force invaded India, the British released Gandhi.
After the war, colonial independence was a historical trend after World War II, and Britain was beaten by Germany and had no energy to manage India. Coupled with the Fact-Led Churning Stick in the League of Nations, which preached the self-reliance of all ethnic groups everywhere, Britain finally recognized India's independence. But he dug a big hole for Gandhi because the British also recognized Pakistan's independence. Let India and Pakistan be separated forever, which is also the eternal pain in India's heart.
His theory of non-violent non-cooperation is described on Baidu Encyclopedia as follows: "His efforts, spiritual movements replaced armed riots, prayers replaced guns, and silence replaced the explosion of terrorist bombs." Use silence to impress the invaders, delusional that the imperial powers can let themselves go. When Dai Jitao of the Kuomintang visited India that year, Gan uttered such jaw-dropping remarks.
"In any case, China is not practicing non-violence. Its heroic resistance to Japan shows that China has never had a willingness to be non-violent. To say that it is merely self-defence is not a reason to speak from the principle of nonviolence. From the standpoint of the nonviolents, I must say that it is inappropriate for a China of 400 million people to deal with an enlightened Japan with a Chinese population, or to have to resist Japanese aggression in the same way as the Japanese. If Chinese had a non-violent belief like mine, there would be no need for the same latest means of destruction as the Japanese. Chinese can tell the Japanese, 'Come with your means of destruction, and we will give you two hundred million, but we will not give in to the remaining two hundred million.' If Chinese did, the Japanese would become slaves to Chinese. ”
Non-violent, non-resistive. He advised Chiang Kai-shek to stop his resistance to the Japanese and "kill two hundred million and have two hundred million left." Chiang Kai-shek was very puzzled by this, and could only smile at him and nod, and then ask Gandhi, "If Japan invades India, will you also choose not to resist?" Gandhi said firmly, "No cooperation! Absolutely no cooperation. (That is, not to use force to resist).
In the face of aggression, our great man Run guild said, "Fight back, go to the mountains to fight guerrillas with them, and fight with them."
Our opponent, Chiang Kai-shek, would say, "We must unite with international forces and fight them with our backs to our allies."
Gandhi, on the other hand, could beg for peace in an almost self-destructive way. Gandhi's story ends when his successor, Jawaharlal Nehru, was beaten up by a nearby power in '62. The Indian artillery battalion, when facing our army's combat squad,
Instead of surrendering, he dared to strike back at me
On October 2, 2019, India held a commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the birth of mahatma, and Gandhi's ashes were stolen and the word traitor was scribbled in paint. It is indeed a legendary enough life,
