This article argues that Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) was a destroyer of the nation (i.e. India) and moreover a threat to the national unity, integrity, and progress. His threefold satanic legacy is constituted of his:

1. Principle of non-violence and misconception of truth

2. Idea of primordial lifestyle

3. Self-centred dictatorship

All these three points are quite interwoven and ultimately support how he would have continued to destroy the nation.

1. Gandhi wrongly thought that the principle of non-violence is a truth. The former is rather a moral viewpoint which is relativistic and fundamentally pseudo or absurd.

2. The idea of primordial lifestyle is quite backward and unworkable as it tends to suppress the natural human instinct to be innovative and progressive.

3. An example depicts that Gandhi considered his own interests to be over and above national interests. He had the power to save the lives of three Indian freedom fighters namely Rajguru, Sukhdev, and Bhagat Singh. However, considering their popularity he did not utilise his power.

The points 2 and 3 themselves suggest how Gandhi was a threat to the nation. Moreover, when all of them combine they come up with a distinct satanic picture.

Mohammad Ali Jinnah blackmailed Gandhi that if he did not allow him to have separate Muslim state (i.e. Pakistan) the country will have to face a civil war. Gandhi in return blackmailed Indians with his principle of Satyagraha and allow Jinnah to create separate Pakistan thus dividing or destroying India. Now there were many other existing and/or prospective separatist groups in Punjab, Kashmir, Assam, South India, Maharashtra and rather all over India who would have succeeded in creating their own states or nations by blackmailing fellow Indians through Gandhi, thus diving India into pieces.

Let us now compare this hypothetical situation with Europe. Europe is not one country but is constituted of separate countries like Britain, France, Spain, Germany, etc. with different ethnic origins. Say India is of the size of Europe and the European countries are like the Indian states. Quite apparently European countries are capable enough to govern themselves and be developed but Indian states are not capable to be separate nations in the highly globalized world. However, Gandhi could have been happy with this idea as it is rather in harmony with his idea of primordial lifestyle and society. 'The Father of the Nation' would have become 'the Destroyer of the Nation'.

Moreover, after Gandhi was killed by a Hindu (Kokanastha: those from the west cost of Maharashtra) Brahmin, many, many innocent Brahmins were assassinated by the followers of Gandhi (just because they were Brahmins). They even did not care to see if those Brahmins were ever against Gandhi or not. Is this the kind of impact Gandhi had on his followers? Is this the legacy of 'the Father of the Nation'?

'The Father of India' could rather be said to be the British, who united several princely states and regions under roughly a singular territory, who laid down the infrastructure (rails, roads, post offices, government offices, etc.) which made modern India, we see today, a possibility. The secular modern India is thus a British legacy. Also, very insignificant number of Indians, if at all, think like Gandhi and follow him. What they really follow are the British values and ideas of freedom, material progress, and culture. What they wear are British, in general Western, styled clothes, not Gandhi’s simple cotton ones. Gandhi hardly has any influence on the Indian psych. Rather the Indians are likely to get violent against each other for religious, social, or political reasons. It does not really make sense to hail Gandhi 'the Father of the Nation'.

I was born on 31 Dec 1979 to a Hindu (Brahmin) family, in Mumbai (Bombay), India, where I lived for the first 15 years of my life. Then I moved to Pune (Poona). In March 2004 I came to Cambridge, England where I currently live and work.
