Criticizing Gandhi is not wrong, abusing Gandhi was aiming at dividing the society
Ophthalmologist Dr Vijay Uke's answer to questions being thrown at Gandhi on social media
Dr. Vijay UkeDr Ambedkar's criticism of Gandhiji is well known and documented reality, they appear arch enemy towards the issues and solutions they disagree, but never been abusive for each other. He said on one occasion: "To my mind there is no doubt that this Gandhi age is the Dark Age of India. It is an age in which people instead of people looking for their ideals in the future are returning to antiquity. It is an age in which people have ceased to think, they have ceased to read and examine the facts of their lives. The fate of ignorant democracy, which refuses to follow the way shown by learning and experience and chooses to grope in the dark paths of mystics and megalomaniacs, is sad thing to contemplate."

Qestion
क्या देश मे गांधी पर चर्चा अपराध हैं?
क्या लोकतंत्र में गांधी की आलोचना/समालोचना अपराध हैं?
क्या गांधी की निंदा "अभिव्यक्ति की आजादी" वाले देश में "ईश निंदा" तुल्य हैं?
कौन हैं गांधी?
भगवान है? अवतार हैं? नबी हैं? जीसस हैं?
जब इस देश में प्रभु राम के माता सीता त्याग पर चर्चा हो सकती हैं?
भगवान कृष्ण पर टिका टिप्पणी हो सकती है?
संविधान पर चर्चा हो सकती हैं?
तो फिर गांधी पर क्यों नही?
क्या गांधी राम, कृष्ण, देश, संविधान से बड़े हैं?
जब इस देश मे "देश तेरे टुकड़े कर देंगे" कहने की आजादी हैं.
जब इस देश मे "देश के हत्यारे जिन्ना" की फोटो यूनिवर्सिटी में लगाने की आजादी हैं.
जब इस देश मे "रावण" की भी पूजा करने की आजादी है.
जब इस देश मे लाखों हिंदुओ के हत्यारे औरंगजेब, गजनवी, गौरी, तैमूर के समर्थन की आजादी हैं.
तो फिर गोडसे समर्थन की आजादी क्यों नही.
क्या कांग्रेस एक लोकतांत्रिक देश को "ईश निंदा" जैसी कबिलाई सँस्कृति की ओर ले जाने पर अग्रसर हैं?
क्या गांधी को "सहिष्णुता की मिसाल" उपाधि से नवाजने वाली कांग्रेस, गांधी की आलोचना पर "असहिष्णु" बनने पर अग्रसर हैं?
जवाब दे कांग्रेस?
क्योंकि लोकतंत्र में किसी की भी तानाशाही मंजूर नही, फिर चाहे वो "गांधी" के नाम पर ही क्यों न हो.
Answer
Criticizing Gandhi is not wrong, By abusing Gandhi by that guy Kali Charan was aiming at dividing the society...Nobody is such a fool that we dont understand the motive behind his utterances...If praising Godse is fine then it should be the same for Bhinderwala or Osama Bin laden...The law should be same for everyone.
Criticicm of ideas is one thing. Name calling of somebody who got us independence using lies and propaganda is another. Moreover, somebody who is not alive cannot respond. Also praising somebody's killer is automatically is an act of encouragement of violence and retribution .
Dr Ambedkar's criticism of Gandhiji is well known and documented reality, they appear arch enemy towards the issues and solutions they disagree, but never been abusive for each other .He said on one occasion: " To my mind there is no doubt that this Gandhi age is the Dark Age of India. It is an age in which people instead of people looking for their ideals in the future are returning to antiquity.
It is an age in which people have ceased to think, they have ceased to read and examine the facts of their lives.The fate of ignorant democracy, which refuses to follow the way shown by learning and experience and chooses to grope in the dark paths of mystics and megalomaniacs, is sad thing to contemplate."
At other instance Dr Ambedkar was crispy and bitter to say about Gandhiji... "He was a man who had been failure all his life in public life. There was no important occass when India was about to succeed when Mr Gandhi had brought any thing good. When Mr Jinnah raised his Pakistan issue two or three years ago, Mr Gandhi called it a sin and turned a deaf ear.
Ultimately the frankincense grew. Mr Gandhi got frightened. He was grappling with it now by making a complete somersault. Yet he continued to be leader o in this country, because Congress didn't put it's leader on its trial."
Education, along with healthcare, still remains one of the most ctitical and fundamental areas that the 90% of this country is deprived of by the braman-savarna ruling class middle class urban establishment.
Accessibility to good quality english medium education is the key to opening and asserting many other rights, in addition to economic progress- worldwide, and especially in india, education and healthcare are two proven things that have the greatest potential and correlation to moving people out of poverty.
The importance of education cannot be underestimated, but its deprivation to the 90% remains the key pillar of the bamanical apartheid and colonial empire.
Look at Tamil Nadu vs UP. Today, Tamil Nadu spends over Rs 32,000 crores on education for a population of 67 million. UP spends Rs 18,000 crores for a population of 205 million. In per capita terms, that is Rs 48 vs Rs 8 per capita. In other words, Tamil Nadu spends 6 times more on education on each person than UP.
Do speak out on education, especially primary education (and healthcare), everyday, if you care an iota for any kind of activism. As people move in to middle class, they tend to forget this- assuming that everyone has the same access to the same quality of education that they have now.
This is not true, and education and healthcare must be at the heart of any activism if you really care, and if you are not just a part of a lobby group for your own ruling /middle class group...Beguiling masses to remain entrapped forever in frivolous issues like Gandhi, ram rahim, hindu muslim, deshbhakti etc.
