No mention of the fact he refused Western medical assistance for his wife when she was dying. After she died and he got an illness, he requested Western medicine, which saved his life.
That is insane
I know, right!? That's pretty messed up & it made me exceptionally sad when I heard of that.
"He Thinks He'll Keep Her"
wow I did not know that, but doesn't surprise me. I've known for a while he's not much of a golden boy, as he's made out to be.
Well to be fair that may not have been necessarily malicious, look how many refused common sense during a pandemic
gandhi was a convenient figure for the british to glorify because of his "non-violent approach" but people like bhagat singh, kartar singh sarabha, babbar akali and subhash chandra bose who engaged in armed struggle to fight for the independence were suppressed and forgotten.
Damn dats so sad to hear. True heros r never celebrated like the should be
Bruh who said they supressed in india they are national heroes but suppresed internationaly
@@yashchandel Ghandi was a tool of the British and a pervert . They wanted people of Bharat to be weak and like him . Not like the freedom fighters who actually fought for freedom
History is not as simple as a WhatsApp propaganda forward. While I know about contribution of all 4 names you mentioned, Bhagat Singh and Bose are as alive in national consciousness as anyone else. By the way, both Bhagat Singh and Bose venerated Gandhi, why was it so? And why did Martin Luther King Jr. and Mandela gain so acclaim while following non violence?
@@rameshverma4357 british wanted bharat to be non violent . So they can control us more easily . Those who don’t fight back against oppression are weak . And then why is Ghandi called the father of India ? He name should be cut from everything . Bharat could of gained independence in 20 years earlier . If their were more violent freedom fighting groups . The British wouldn’t be able to handle it
I think the media portrays Gandhi as this “Great human who did nothing wrong ever” and that bugged me for a long time. Videos like these are eye openers.

He also said menstruation was a distortion of the soul; thought women gave up their own humanity when r*ped; defended honor killings to save the family from "shame"; and abused his wife on top of the using/abusing other girls and women like objects for him.
He was a goddamn sexist and hypocrite
Yea a lot of Indians/Arab people r brainwashed like this. Worship white people abuse woman.
You lie like your mum lied about liking you.
It's good you realised what this scamster is about. He's a doormat who let British colonialists slap the country & leave. I am beginning to think that I should use only digital money & coins because they don't have Gandhi's face on it or for that matter no one's face on it. I'm beginning to hate the use of paper currency.
Don't write your own story 😂
Gandhi was a convenient personality for the British to allow to be worshipped. The white world liked the idea of this peaceful protestor who poses no immediate threat. The British didnt leave India because of Gandhi, but because they had already taken from her what she could give, and the political atmosphere was getting increasingly hostile. This was fuelled by non-peaceful revolutionaries. Gandhi just delayed the independence movement by at least 5 decades.
Absolutely agree! Cannot believe we've been tricked all our lives into believing he was the ONLY reason for our independence.
hah....
God damn commie all you democrats will bleed and pay for your evil
@Richard Horrocks You been fed propaganda by your own people, my friend. You think Gandhi was thousands of years ahead because you haven't heard about his contemporaries. Or more precisely, you have been systematically kept unaware of his contemporaries and their thoughts and actions. Had he not supported the Partition, Indians would have been saved of so much of heartache; so many lives would have been saved. We wouldn't have the Kashmir issue. You know only that you've been told. And that's exactly my original point.
Real Indian freedom fighters got whipped, thrown into dungeons and hanged because they were ACTUAL threat to British. Meanwhile, Gandhi was getting 4 meals a day in his so-called prison sentences. Tbh That tells you the whole story. Gandhi was a monk, a cult leader who was given supreme political power which was dumbest thing in history of humanity. No monk or philosopher can be nation’s leader.
Him and Mother Theresa are one of some people who don't deserve the praise they still get.
What? Don't discredit all the work they have done.
See the problem with ignorance is that they dont even know they are ignorant. No human being is perfect, yes Mahatma gandhi might have been racist in esrly fsys of his career but I would GLADLY TAKE MAHATMA GANDHI OVER swines of British empire (present day Uk). Any day and any time............
The attack on mother Theresa is largely exaggerated, taken out of context, or fabricated. Do more independent research on the actual report which is the only one who attacks her. She ran hospices, end of life care, not just hospitals
What about winston churchill who killed millions of Indians? What about the english queen? That bixch still has all stolen wealth with her in her museum
@@beny988 i believe you're white. Yes we used to live on trees when your ancestors came here. They gave us the rope and we came down. We used yo eat sand. But they showed us how food is eaten. We used to be without clothes and wrapped around leaves but then our white savrs came and gave us cotton. Etc We are so grateful for that civilization lesson and even today we don't climb trees in ur honour. 😂😂 We were taught and developed so much by your *SELFLESS ANCESTORS* that when they left we were still searching for the jewels and money and resources they took AWAY from us and other colonies because we couldn't believe the *civilized* white gurus would do such a thing. I personally still am indebted to you. Even Egyptians are because you took away the mummies and artifacts off of their hands such that they could no longer have to worry 😆. The British museum and vna are the places now all of us from. Former colonies go to see your contribution. We are eternally grateful that you made us stronger by your rule, reduced our population by famine and crisis and taught us English 😂 otherwise we wouldn't have been able to migrate and fill up your countries every year. On behalf of all colonies *THANK YOU*
Thank you. As an Indian, I say it's about damn time the truth about this man became known to the world.
It has been, but a lot of ppl undermine the truth
It's common knowledge in India. We remember Bose and bhagat singh more
During those days everyone hated black Africans… not only gandhi… Indians in general are racist too.. They wont treat a black tourist the same way a white tourist is treated
You forgot everything that he ever did for the country and just blindly following the the dirty politics and what these white asses are barking
@@randomlyswatching9481 real Sikhs and Hindus don’t get credit the real Indian freedom fighters like you mentioned but people like Nehru and Gandhis are highlighted and their evilness remain behind the curtains.
Brahmacharya is a concept within Indian religions that literally means to stay in conduct within one's own Self. Not necessarily by surrounding girls around, which Gandhi did incorrectly!
I see no wrong with what he did, he is a human.
That he called them "walking sticks" was most likely a joke. If I called my male friends "my walking sticks" as a joke, no one would bat an eye lol
@@vipr1142 yeah, a human who surrounded himself with naked minors. That's fucked up and wrong, I don't care how human he is.
Just another hinduism addict......
@@vipr1142 f gandi
Finally! I would just like to add that celibacy is not necessarily only about making young teenage girls lie naked next to you, this is NOT a hindu practice---please don't let Gandhiji be the benchmark for being brahmachari. I would also like to say that he is not the benchmark for all Hindus, and we certainly don't venerate him or treat him like a saint. He is the father of our nation and he is thus treated with due respect based on the national status he holds.
I was about to clarify this but saw you already did great job.
Fu pervert p ed
Would these people listen to you. Half of them still think British empire developed india and civilized us. Look for Ben Y in comments and see how many people still agree to that ridiculous justification of colonial rule. Like they selflessly went to another country and literally caused discord, poverty and torture to "civilize" them I bet you money they still think of slavery same way. They don't care for us, unless they want to insult us. They are DELUSIONED heavily and entitled. Racism is still here because of them and some of us even. We hate our own nation and would try to appease any white person because we are still hungover by colonial mindset. Otherwise justify the comments here. Many Indians are so elated that Gandhi's dark side is shown in this video. Do you think Brits will be same if Churchill was the topic? NO we always show our bad side for some reason we rejoice in it.
I'm pretty sure nobody took it that way lol but go off
@@ericcunningham9776 Easy for you to say. We've been looked at as heathens, uncivilized, uncouth and what not by the British back in the day. Just clarifying lest someone decides to bring it up again :')
Brahmacharya/celibacy doesn’t have anything to do with naked girls. Gandhi was a pervert nothing else. Being a hindu I can tell you that brahmacharya/celibacy doesn’t mean sleep with naked girls to know are you capable of controlling your lust or not.

As an Indian I would like to thank you for this….so happy the truth is coming out at last…people should know we didn’t get independence just by sitting peacefully…true freedom fighters like Subhash Chandra Bose should be given the much needed attention and credit
He made the scattered rebellions into a full-on organization, but wasn't personally really influential in the independence beyond being a popular leader as far as I know. Correct me if I'm wrong though, or don't.
It’s unfortunate they don’t get recognition, because westerners want us to be docile to illustrate humanity. If we are fighters they dehumanize us

Thank you sooo much I will never understand why "Gandhi" who was racist to South Africans, reason behind Partition of India and also probably why we got independence so late.
He's the reason we got independence though. His murderer was mad that he was tolerant and got independence as the murderer was a boot licker lol
Same way Churchill was a world war hero but caused a famine in India 🤷. They had their own agendas
It's alleged, Mandela spoke well of Gandhi
@@randomlyswatching9481 Churchill didn't cause "a famine" but multiple famines and corrupted our country and stole livelihood and money from us. They brought nothing but death to us.
LOL. You so easily discarded gandhi in just few years. When he was alive there was no intellectual worth of his salt who didn't accept and respect some or all of his ideas as worth pursuing and learning. There is no statesman who didn't have character flaws. And bdw india didn't get freedom from whatever reason they are teaching you these days. It was wholesale bankruptcy of british empire that brought freedom to all her colonies from egypt to zimbabwe to west indies to malaysia. just be happy in your delusions of indian freedom STRUGGLE , LOL

As an Indian, More people need to know! Would like to correct that Brahmacharya is not a Hindu practice, it's a concept to stay in conduct with your own self, it does NOT mean to have people test your sexual desires. Please be vary of using terms loosely without much research carefully.
No offense to any Hindu people but you have to look towards it as it might not be a Hindu practice but is only practiced by Hindus . No other religion of such scale has a similar practice

@@muhammadmahd6429 almost all reasonable religions practice it one way or other. It just has different names. Brahmachary means having control over ones emotions be it greed, anger, lust etc. And you can see this basic theme in almost all reasonable religions.
I think it should be noted that he never really stood up for womens' rights and their empowerment. For example, in his famous Dandi march, he had forbidden women to take part. They however, did take part because of the Sarojini Naidu who persuaded him to do so. At the age of 13-14 after he had got married he had explicitly told his wife to never go out of the house without his prior permission. It does not end there. He also thought that it was always the fault of women when they got raped and also they should never fight their rapists. he also stated that the jews in germany should "jump off a clip" and thus refrain from using violence in defending themselves. Also the sole contribution of his towards the indian freedom struggle was that he led to thousands of unnecessary deaths at the hands of the british police which could have been easily avoided by using force and the most important contribution yet was making the arrival of freedom slower, without him and his methods, we would have gotten way long back in our history pursuade
tru he was an old school conservative who supported the idea of woman staying in the households and being perfect wife and moms. i don't think its necessarily fair to criticize him for that seeing how he was an 70 year old Indian man and the entirety of the indian congress party was against feminism its not like gandhi was the indian leader of anti feminism.
Charisma is what they all use to say agreeable things & then turn heads. Hitler too came forward to win hearts just to break them. Scamsters. They don't sell what they advertise.

It was people like Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Udham Singh, etc,. Who actually brought India to freedom. Gandhi wasn't a revolutionary leader, he was just a politician who stood back and let people divide India into religions and communities.

It's not just the misogyny or the racism: He had MASSIVE casteism issues by the virtue of being born upper caste. He blatantly ignored the real father of Civil rights and the Constitution of India, Dr BR Ambedkar and refused to have a seperate electorate for the oppressed castes, The Dalits (of which Ambedakar was a part of). Gandhi also pretended to be progressive about caste issues in his English paper, but in his Gujarati paper, he had spewed vile ideas about caste and how it must be upheld.
can u share or mention a site which talks abut this so called Guajarati paper. doubt spewing stuff not heard off without mentioning sources is good.
no he was right on that one
Say it ain’t so, Ghandi. How do you compute hating Africans when your own people come in the same tones and both peoples share oppressors?
Well that's what I've been trying to tell people who were pissed at these sorts of videos lol 😂
Live anywhere they're the majority and you'll be singing the same tune soon enough
@@SilenTHerO78614please stop pretending whatever issue you have with Africans or whomever doesn’t also exist in every other group of people. You’re either classist or racist. Either way crime, drug use, assault and prisons exist wherever humans exist.
Many indians have a deep hatred for Africans/African Americans. One example was the “I know it smell crazy in here” twitter thread where there was thousands of indians calling black people every slur under the sun and saying they belong back in chains
Sounds like Ghandi is a liberal. 🤣
His prejudice wasn't limited to africans only but his own countrymen, the former untouchables. surprised why you missed the incident of poona pact between Gandhi & Dr. Ambedkar, where he went on fasting unto death to deny seperate electorates to former untouchables, i.e. essentially denying their equal status.
exactly. not to mention his hartal after the chauri chourah incident. or his tantrum when the candidate he was backing didn't become congress president and instead Bose did. he manipulated the Congress to work against Bose till Bose was forced to leave not only the Congress but also the country to seek help against the Britis. whenever the freedom movement became violent or inconvenient for the British to deal with, Gandhi would immediately throw a tantrum like clockwork
Do you even know that separate electorate for dalits would have further divided India. It's the separate electorates for Muslims which created the seeds for partition
Mohandas Karamchad Gandhi actually has no proof of being called "Mahatma" as the prefix in his name. There are literally no facts & evidence behind it .

@Sam nope
@Sam yeah it's like most Indian boys rn are all sexist, colorist, homophobic to some extent coz of the environment. They simply have been conditioned to be like that. It's changing slowly, with urban areas obviously at an advantage. Gotta look at the full picture. Gandhi has worse flaws than being racist tbh. Bad still, but there are worse things about him lol
@@randomlyswatching9481 excuse me, where does Churchill come in here? He did not have anything to do with India
The most problematic aspect of Gandhi's life was his discrimination against Dalits, the lowest caste in the caste system in India. Gandhi believed Dalits deserved to be discriminated and when British PM Ramsay MacDonald gave rights to Dalits that were already given to other minorities like Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, etc, Gandhi went on a fast to deny Dalits their voting rights. Dr Ambedkar, the greatest Indian of all time and a Dalit himself called Gandhi's denial of rights to Dalits as the worst blackmail of all time
Dalits isn't the lowest caste Their is caste system even in the Dalits which your greatest Indian 'ambedkar' denied when savarkar pointed out. Though I am no fan of Gandhi but you are quoting him wrong. He was a flag bearer of Varna vyavastha and not caste system which are two different things. Mind you he was the one who wanted entry of Dalits in temples where they were prohibited and called them harijan
And I thing you are short of comprehension He went on to fast to deny separate electorate for Dalits and not for voting rights. These are two very different things. A separate electorate would just deepen the social crack within the Hindu society
@@vaidehiagrawal5322 When did Ambedkar deny the caste system? he was himself a mahar, a division in Dalits. Varna vyavastha is itself an inhumane system and Gandhi's efforts were very ignorant towards the lower castes, he only supported them till it was according to his motives and limits. When it came to giving them actual power, he created a whole fasting drama as he didn't want to lose a large portion of the lower caste from the hindu community
@@drishtisaxena2747 what do you know about Varna vyavastha. Can you even define who are the shudras that you are calling it inhumane. Do you think shudras and Dalits are same Is caste same as Varna ?

8:23 I attended the University of Ghana during that time and can confirm this happened.
Imagine taking credit of every freedom fighters hardwork as yours..couldn't be me, Gandhi
nobody took any credit. you assumed he did. cope!
The West considers Gandhi to be equivalent to MLK, even MLK was inspired by Gandhi's non-violence. But this is only because in both of the cases, the oppressor was White. People aren't aware that Gandhi was an upper-caste Hindu, who supported the oppressive caste system in India. The real MLK of India was BR Ambedkar, who fought for the rights of the untouchables/Dalits. On the other hand, Gandhi believed that the untouchables, whom he called Harijans, were supposed to be doing menial jobs because it's their "Dharma".
Very well said!
Another thing is Gandhi supported killing of hinduss in moplah where 100000 of upper caste Hindus got killed ...and he supported naokhali hindu in Bengal genocide...He oopses savarkar idea of equality and yes he is also against upper castes PPL and eventually killed by upper caste godse..
@@Kakashihatake-uo6ou considering all the things he did, i think Godse did us a favour. “why i killed gandhi” has more wisdom and verve in it than all the books ever written about gandhi.

Ahinsa is not wrong but it is a less popularly accepted pronunciation of it. But the correctly accepted one is 'Ahimsa'. You can look it up also. Ahinsa is more like the hindi pronunciation but ahimsa is a sanskrit word.
@@aproditi1216 thanks. Didn't know that ahimsa is a sanskrit word.
brahmachari does not mean surrounding yourself with temptation and then rejecting them, It means rejecting temptation whether it exists or not there is no test you need to undertake in Hinduism, Jainism or Buddhism like Gandhi
As a black south african, l'm glad you mentioned the truth about his time here
so you know it all from a 10 minute video huh ?
He was far from perfect, but the problem isn't the fact that he was flawed...it's the fact that the government tried so hard to idolize him as someone above making mistakes, like I understand a country needs their role models but a flawed role model is much more relatable than the "goody two shoes" they portray him as, the world is never just black and white, it's a beautiful shade of grey, people aren't always just good or bad, they have agendas and motives... But credit where credit is due, the non violence stance was ballsy af.
what a fair comment. goof job. this type of impartiality is what keeps humanity keep going and progressing. not trying to tear each other down.
as an indian im glad you made this! every coin has two sides, even ifonly one of it is always shown to people!
of course when videos from rightists were coming out, all were calling them "bhakts" and now a foreigner made a video so "glad you made a video on him"😂😂
A well structured and well written video .
Lots of hypocrisies from his statements and actions. I've told my friends about his actions and racism but they won't believe it because of how he was portrayed in popular media.
lots of hypocrisies in yours too as you only choose the negative side of him. no mention about him evolving his views with time, about his admittance and repent ? people make mistakes, if you learn from it, I guess its a good thing.
Don’t forget mother Teresa

@@KZheadEarth they are not hated because they dont interfere with politics meanwhile Ambani and adani actively support BJP and will continue to do so while they keeps getting rich while we become poor by day. So yeah poverty is worshiped here where prime minister of india encourage university scholars to open road side Tea stalls as that is also a STARTUP as he said.
Gadha
and you arrived to this conclusion from a 10 minute video on KZhead ? how nice
Thanks so much for easing up on the vocal fry
The way we saw it in our childhood, if someone looks old, like Gandhi, instinctively we think he is innocent.
As a Pakistani, I have always been taught to hate Gandhi and that he was somekind of a mischief or hypocrite but the fact is that he was truly a genius and a man of will of his time. Altough I have studied a lot of his works and I must say that nations need a political leader like Gandhi in today's world. It is saddening to see this side of such a great person. This makes me to come to an unbiased conclusion that Jinnah might not be as popular as he is but the former was a man of dignity and Gandhi despite being one of the greatest figures of his time had these loopholes
Gandhi is a greatest politician not a great leader or mahatma
correct. a well thought and well written comment. you are impartial and that is important. good job!
Not becoming aroused by having women around you isn't 'Brahmacharya' 'Brahmacharya' simply means choosing a Bachelor life where you shouldn't take a wife or have had any sexual relationship. Instead, you dedicate your life to a specific path.....be it spiritual or occupational.
He is like God in india....ppl pray to him...media lacks courage even to say anything negative about him...
No he is not. Deep down every Indian knows bozo was nothing but a creep
nobody can replace God, nobody can be like God, the way he is idolised goes down to the cultural or systematic ways of the people. if you wanna point fingers, point to the people. he did not asked to be worshipped. next!
Nah common public knows he's shady af. It's only the media in the fear of politicians
@@Ruben_6581 great now do something about it
@@geewhiz5926 oh I will buddy. I definitely will. You won’t know it, but I will.
i am so excited for the rest of this series!!!
Gandhi did not stop any hindu muslim violence. He only asked hindus to not do anything in reaction even when their family members would be rapped and killed in front of them. He told hindus to self examine of what did hindus have done that a muslim has to commit violence. He didn't not provide any political voice to hindus or Indians, he just asked the majority(hindus) to endure anything literally anything happened to them and that was his version of "ahinsa paramo dharma"
Ghandhi is satan evil He is British agent He is hypocrite and racist He wanted indian youths to join British army during ww1 and ww2 which lead to lakh of Indians soldiers death He also helping Muslim league for pertion His hate for hindus has no limit In riots he goes to hindus for disarm intentionally and wanted hindus to killed by muslim mobs happily He also work with communist and British administration not to help hindus during riot
Thought all of this was common knowledge
needed this thankyouuuu
Why did u need this 🥴. He's not even HERE.
Rss bajrang hindoo extremist needed this
Those who can never understand Ghandhi,have all the rights to criticize him.But when you began to understand everything desolve.His approach is so subjective,that it seems strange to ordinary people.
Yeah he did many great things but don't be blind andha bhakt mat bano kisi ka bhi
this video doesn't even scratch the surface of the darkness that Mohandas Gandhi had.
It’s not Hindu practice to sleep with niece for Bhramachrya just to be clear. Lol 😂 . It was his decision to do that. He was testing himself. Nice video. No one is ideal.
It's ridiculous that a guy, who was born 200 years ago was made "father' of a nation which has a history of over 9000 years.
Truth should be fully out to the youth. This kind of videos are giving us the reality check.
Please mention the source of information so that everyone can get thru it
I am an Indian and i think this video is telling truth..
Bjp ..dogs
because it is created by a foreigner and liberals love to bootlick their masters by the way many videos were already created from rightists, shedding light on the truth of indian history but many indians rejected them but now a foreigner has made a video so....
i think you better do some more research rather than a 10 minute video on KZhead
We learn about Gandhi's life mostly from his own very voluminous and frank writings including about his inner desires and fears. So, nothing quite hidden there. He grew up in a wealthy family in a caste-ridden society and got educated in colonial Britain. So, his views on race in his youth were rather as expected. His later years were marked by well-known struggles against discrimination. Clearly, he evolved in his views on equality. His main contribution to the Indian independence was spearheading the masses into a nationwide movement with help from loyal colleagues, of course. The eventual independence could possibly have come without Gandhi, but his many movements unified a diverse nation and offered templates for many local movements both in India (e.g., Bhoodan, Chipko) and elsewhere. For perspective, his experiments in nonviolence were innovative and inspired millions while those in celibacy were bizarre and surely avoidable.
a well-written and impartial comment. well done!
Awesome take thumbs up 👍
The way things go on about here you'd think Gandhi was the only one who fought for the freedom of the country
not everyone in india acknowledge gandhi as "the father of the country"
debatable
My mother-in-law used to claim her ex husband was like Ghandi - have a bunch of kids, ditch them for a greater cause. He's a social and civil rights activist to this day. To be fair, he has 5 kids with 2 women. And has been present throughout their lives. It was a bitter divorce and 40 years later still festers.
An Israeli once said "if Gandhi had laid down in front of an Arab tank rather than a British tank, the only thing left of him would be a loin cloth."
oh i’m sure they have a lot to say about the dynamics of colonial rule considering they’re oppressive colonizers themselves
...always thought it was kinda funny that Gandhi was in London during the Jack the Ripper killings.....perhaps he had an even darker side ? 😜
NAMASTE 🙏🏽 FROM NYC.
you have a good speaking voice. I'm compelled to listen.
About damn time
We need to start with printing Indian currency notes with other freedom fighter pics!!
No one except Mahatma Gandhi deserves to be there.
He was also pretty casteist. We need to celebrate Ambedkar more.
Another thing is Gandhi supported killing of hinduss in moplah where 100000 of upper caste Hindus got killed ...and he supported naokhali hindu in Bengal genocide...He oopses savarkar idea of equality and yes he is also against upper castes PPL and eventually killed by upper caste godse..
Yeah, so casteist that when Hindus were getting killed he said they should sacrifice their life like that
Subhash Chandra More
Nah, he just hated hindus as a whole. This evil mf did everything in his power to help the radical Muslims and Pakistan with their goal. He openly preached the hindus to stop defending themselves and get killed and raped with pride by the Muslims during the partition. And don't even get me on the moplah riots and direct action day
jainism is the most logical religion, sadly it is highly underrated or is currently followed by du_mb people who dont even know the abc of jainism :(
ouu, enlighten me?
Wouldn't mind if you guys did the Unsolved for Emiliano Sala?
started peeling a gandhi sticker off my trunk halfway through the video.
You can't get rid of Gandhi in India though..... he's already printed in almost every single currency note
@@anaghaanilkumar971 by me peeling off a sticker, I am in no one attempting to remove Gandhi from Indian culture. I am not Indian and do not think it is my call for what another country does. I am simply removing my support from him.
Hahhahahah I woulda chose someone else ngl
@@ciaranolan9236 You do your thing. It's true that sadly he's still portrayed as some sorta God in Indian history by media and politicians. But the normal public here already knows how shady he was.
i have respect for Subash Chandra Bose who brought freedom for us (tum mujhe khun do mai tumhe aazadi dunga cant forget this statement by netaji ) Jai Hind
I love this. Please do the dark side of Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu/ Mother Teresa.
He’s done it already
It’s difficult to hold people of the past up to the modern standards.
correct! which is why people like Winston Churchill, George Washington, MLK are all getting bashed left and right today. different times, different standards.
If we were to make a dark side video of each and every one of us there's no doubt that the exposed video would be long. Everybody has a dark side every great man in human history has it but his good deeds outshines his dark side that's what matters most. People are too quick to swipe their opinions based on others
tru, wuts the point of revealing the dark side of a nations moralistic idol if the people only praise and idolize their good deeds anyway.
Can guarantee you, hardly anyone in the West knows about what gandhi actually was. Name some "good deeds" of gandhi then?
correct, thank you for explaining this simple and basic concept. most people just think on the fly with their emotions rather than logic and facts.
So we are not gonna talk about how he discriminated Hindus in their own country and at the end gunned by his own follower...
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO PEOPLE NEED TO SEE THIS
With all his weaknesses and shortcomings Gandhi commited and lay down his life for India.If he has been perfect he would not be human but God.The beauty of Gandhi's life was his strength amidst of his fragility....
Still waiting on a “The Dark Side of Buzzfeed” video. If you’re going to call out other people, call out yourself as well.
Yes yes yes! This is what I've been looking for. Gandhi wasnt a perfect man but he was not necessarily pure evil. But we should look more into the wrong things he's done before we look into his work for the freedom of India. But we should give him the due respect for his work and efforts. India needs to label him as 'the noble Saint who did nothing that was wrong', and in my opinion, no man is a pure and unevil Saint. Thank you for uploading such an eye opener for a lot of people who didn't know Gandhi's dark doings behind the closed doors. And people like Bhagat Singh, and subhas Chandra bose need to be praised for their actual efforts for our indias freedom Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳
“not necessarily evil” im sorry but i do consider him to be evil when he just showed his support of Harijans on media and then went on a fast to decline Dalits having rights 🤣
what work all the work was done by others not him he just played with his word (even though it was his true intention)
How is sleeping with minors not considered "evil"
A lot of ignorant comments here. I don’t care if people view Gandhi positively or negatively, but we need a few history and humanities classes, based on these wildly limited conclusions; as if many of us can’t see beyond “good guy” or “bad guy” rather than understanding the complexity and nuance being discussed here. Gandhi’s darker views were pretty run of the mill for that period of humanity, unfortunately. That doesn’t make those actions and attitudes okay, but it does make him less “pure evil” when it’s the only thing he knew at the time, based on the world around him. So I say that despite his flaws, he was trying to do good things with what he knew at the time, while obviously having poor judgement and making mistakes in the process. Which is what we all do.
The sad thing is modern Indian youth are aware of the one true liberator of India, Subhash Bose who did unimaginable things under those circumstances, went to any lengths to see that India gets Independence. He got the job done but had to go recluse since the ww2 was won by Allied Forces. Yet till now Indian govt spends millions of dollars to further sell the image of Gandhi to west, the white colonizers are very happy as it shows they gave India for the non-violence movement, puts them in great light. The story is the transfer of power was a scam, the power went to the same boot lickers who used to have tea in the evening with their white masters.
So he wasn’t really the great person we all thought he was at least how he is taught in high school
Mahatma Gandhi might have done alot but in a short saying. He stood up for his country.
I've found, in reading a lot of history, that it's difficult to really understand the mindset of a particular time. However, the thing that did disappoint me about Gandhi is that his interest in racial issues only really became strong when it was in relation to his personal experience. He wasn't prepared to fight for respect and acceptance for all, rather for all those like himself. This doesn't mean his contribution isn't significant or a great thing, but that we need to stop seeing figures as either totally good or bad. Try to understand why they thought in certain ways and acted how they did. I imagine this will give a more realistic and well rounded view of people and the world they lived in and in turn, of ourselves.
Gandhi also was very ignorant towards the caste system in India, although he did condemn the untouchability part for public show, he ultimately did believe that people are born into these different castes and they should do the work they were assigned by birth. He also made a fasting-till-death vow until separate electorates for the untouchable/lower caste were not canceled. Don't forget that at last, he was a lawyer and a politician.
"..young women, possibly girls...", way to go Buzzfeed. I hope you are successful with your indoctrination.
India always had wierd obsession with skin colour they still do 😅 we have so many ads related to skin whitening skin,powder and what not...
7:00 hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ... shades of Arthur Miller's "The Salem Witches"
Do cesar chavez next!
The bad stuff begins 3:45
Just read his own autobiography You'd dislike him
What bothers me the most is .... ghandi's face on indian currency.... there were so many more freedom fighter but only ghandi is shown on the indian rupee.... not even "tagore" who gave us the national anthem... Tagore Bose Chandra shakhar aajad And many more
Ever seen South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut? Remember the scene when Kenny was going to hell and you seen Gandhi being shown? Makes sense now doesn’t it? 🤔
