Blame Gandhi

Yes, we need to blame our Father of nation for the false image he created about Indians. Everybody in the world thinks that India got independence through non-violence so we are peace loving people. Are we really peace loving people?? I dont think so.

 Our idea of a hero is a fighter not a pacifist. In modern india bhagat singh is more patriot than Gandhi, Nehru or patel because he used bombs and died later. Lala lajapat rai also died for the nation.  He was beaten to death in a lathi charge. But he didnt become a hero of modern india. He never used bombs or bullets, he fought in gandhian way. And he could not muster the fame like Azad or Bhagat singh.

We love fights. We love fights in movies and we need variety of fights. The villain has to die in the climax. We enjoy violence in the movies. Not only in movies, we love fighting in the streets. We love fighting based on our caste, religion and language. We fight police. We fight for water (at municipality pump and at dams), we fight for movie tickets, we fight for a seat (Travel in general compartment in any train). We fight for reservations. We fight to get a separate state. Even we enjoy when people get into a fight in reality shows. All most all Hindu gods carry weapons. Our great epics Ramayanam and Mahabharatam ends with epic fights. If you read medieval history of India, its full of wars and blood. The underline point is we love fighting.

But how could one man managed to convince this blood-thirsty-nation for a non-violent movement. He not only fought Imperialism but also caste system of indian society with the same non-violence. How did he do it is an interesting question. Anyway he has to take the blame for putting 'non-violent nation' tag  to our country.
