5. #Gandhiji was not "nationalstic" in the contemporary usage of the term. He NEVER cited or used history to underscore his social or political battles. He believed only fake nationalists use history to score points without considering the political & social context of the era.

it’s like someone has been diagnosed fatal disease like #Cancer which is at very early & initial stage where it can be easily treated and cured but instead of start medical treatment, he has been asked not to believe in diagnostics reports and keep quite & do nothing #SaveBanks
Moreover, he has been asked not to believe in diagnostics reports & start thinking that he is very healthy and don’t have any problems and not to take any medicine until the disease reaches at its last stage and he start dying. #SaveBanks

THREAD: On the day #Gandhiji was killed, we must remember his life’s lessons but not forget the ideology that took him away from the Independent India that he’d fought for
Remember,many disagreed with Gandhi throughout his life. Only Hindutva’s foot soldiers killed him for it
Remember,many disagreed with Gandhi throughout his life. Only Hindutva’s foot soldiers killed him for it
We mustn’t forget that the conspiracy to kill Gandhi was made because of the terrorists’ hatred for Muslims & in their view Gandhi was a little too pro-Muslim
The message to Indian Muslims was: your allies, even if they’re Gandhiji, will have to risk their lives to support you
The message to Indian Muslims was: your allies, even if they’re Gandhiji, will have to risk their lives to support you
Gandhi had, after all, fasted for safety of Muslims & their places of worship in Delhi. His fast had resulted in Sikhs & Hindus taking a pledge for Muslims’ safety
Mentored by “Veer” Savarkar, terrorists wanted to blame Muslims for it.
