Gandhi, who led the Indian people on the path of resistance, has been controversial. This man, who is famous in India, has a persistent side and, of course, an elusive side.
Today let's find out what kind of sensational history was engraved in India by the man who asked his teenage niece to share a pillow for the sake of an experiment alone.
The formal acquaintance between China and Gandhi should be said to have been made during that foreign visit in 1940, and only this time, Gandhi's words and ideas made Chinese realize that it was impossible to cooperate with such a mahatma.
Proceeding from the concept of resistance against Japan, the views of the two countries on violent resistance are completely different, and it can be said that since this meeting, China's thinking on Gandhi has expressed "dare not agree."
After all, China pays attention to "power out of the barrel of a gun."

Born in western India, Gandhi grew up with the indoctrination of Hindu ideas that his family believed in, and he used virtue to repay grievances as his guide to action, and he firmly believed that repaying evil with good could eventually usher in victory.
The idea of non-violence and non-cooperation has a long history and is not a whim.
Gandhi's theory of non-violence, although not affirmed by all the people, he is a "guiding light" admired by even India's first prime minister.
Although non-violence does not solve the contradictions between all ethnic groups, his ideas also provide a possibility for countries around the world to deal with ethnic contradictions.
In any case, Gandhi himself did have an admirable place, saying that he could have lived his life in peace, but he abandoned his aristocratic life and gave up his status as the heir to the chief of the tujue.
And in order to explore what he wants, he embarked on a path contrary to the caste system, went to Study in England, was blinded by countless people, was treated unfairly, etc., all of which made people feel incredible at the same time, but also had to feel admiration for him.
You know, in that period, giving up your surname was equivalent to walking a road of no return to death. He studied law while studying in England, where Gandhi blended his faith with advanced ideas.

His own religious beliefs have had an impact on the theories he later formed, and perhaps this is one of the reasons why he has been able to gain the support of the masses.
Combining Christianity and Hinduism, Gandhi drew many inspirations from it, from which the theory of "non-violence" was born. The study abroad trip apparently gave Gandhi a spiritual reinvention, but it was not enough, and the superficial theories could not be convincing.
After returning from studying abroad, Gandhi, a lawyer, was very angry to see Britain's arrogant colonial rule and the habits of his own country. But helplessly, the power of one person cannot change the current colonial situation.
Gandhi believed that the British colonized India not to destroy and rebuild it, but to make it an export destination for their goods.
India has a large population, the corresponding labor force is several times more than the United Kingdom, and the same reason the consumption power is stronger than that of India, and if you want to export capital to obtain benefits, the United Kingdom must be jealous.
Later, Gandhi had a case at hand that required him to travel to South Africa, which was also one of the British colonies. Here, Gandhi witnessed countless oppressions and injustices, and even he himself was discriminated against and insulted by whites.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > awakening of national consciousness</h1>
Such an environment gave birth to him to carry the banner of the struggle for national independence, and only national independence can get the respect it deserves. After spending nearly two decades in South Africa, Gandhi decided to return to his homeland again, where he wanted to preach the theory of "non-violence" for national independence.
In this way, the idea that was initially formed in Britain and the experience in South Africa became full again, and Gandhi's idea was basically formed. In the homeland, after more than two hundred years of colonial oppression, a person who called for national independence finally stood up.
Gandhi also degenerated from initially unaccustomed to the arrogance of the British to wanting India to achieve autonomy, but mercy was destined to fuel british colonial arrogance. During World War I, Gandhi provided a mass base for British conscription, and he called on Indians to participate, but this did not win the respect of the British.
This dashed his hopes of autonomy through "non-violence," but he still did not change his determination to adhere to the theory of "non-violent non-cooperation."
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > launched the campaign</h1>
Later, Gandhi organized many campaigns, including many campaigns to reject the export of British capital, which led him to gain the support of many, and the Congress Party also took his theory of non-violence as its soul, thus continuing to grow the ranks that wanted to gain national independence.
Where there is a theory of nonviolence, there are supporters of violent confrontation, and there is no peace within the Congress Party. Many believed that violent resistance should be waged against the British colonizers.
At the same time, violent war is what Britain is afraid of at this time, and for Britain, which is in the middle of World War II, if it triggers the dissatisfaction of the Indian masses at this time and causes war, this is something they are not willing to face in any way.
It has to be said that Gandhi played an important role in promoting the independence of the Indian nation.
After the end of World War II, Britain urgently needed to pay attention to the reconstruction and revitalization of its internal structure, but at the same time, the rise of the independence movement of various ethnic groups in the world made many countries under British colonial rule also begin to wave the flag of independence.
With the rise and fall of the national autonomy movement, Britain began to have no time to deal with the autonomy movement about India, and coupled with international public pressure, Britain had to accept the demand for India's independence.
Gandhi became an unspeakable presence in the minds of the Indian people, and he himself had an incomprehensible side. In his prime, Gandhi made an oath with his wife and began the days of forbidden y, and after thirty years of celibacy, he had to be honest with the young woman every day and sleep together.
It was said to be a difficult experiment, and this was the way Gandhi used to hone his control.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > conclusion</h1>
In the last years of his life, the companions of the experiments became his nieces and nieces, and many people could not understand Gandhi's behavior.
Gandhi explained, "If you can't hold on to your own juniors, you don't deserve to be the leader of India's national liberation." ”
Gandhi eventually died of a radical supporter of violent resistance, three shots into the body, and Gandhi did not blame the perpetrator of the violence.
On the contrary, he forgave him with tolerance, and perhaps Gandhi's theory of non-violence could not be implemented by the state, but his ideas were what many people wanted to achieve.
This is the power of faith, which is why many people, although they do not agree with Gandhi's theory, still insist that Gandhi cannot be desecrated.
