"My HIMALYAN BLUNDER.!"... Said Gandhiji.!. ?
.
Non-violence.!... Best policy.?.. No.!.. Yes.?
India's First Prime-Minister Jawaharlaal Nehru & Dy.PM, Vallabh Bhai Patel... in Logger-heads.!
Here is an interesting analysis... on the True Events followed by...
... the suicidal Outcome of FATAL Result...
...caused due to the impracticable One-sided sense...
...coupled with the Crude-application of Non-Violence policy in India...
...on the "Self-made" concept of the Father of the Nation... Mahatma Gandhi... How.?
India's Constituition is strongly founded on the Non-Violence policy.
..Well.! COMMENDABLE.!!!... Emulative for all other Nations.!...
The Whole world appreciated such an exemplary Foreign- policy...
...of India as a Model-Nation for the World...
But was it SUCCESSFUL SO FAR.?
What happened in Reality... when such a Policy was adopted by India... in practice.?
Amongst the then Congress Leaders... there was a Conspicuous split...
..by the perception and the concept Non-Violence... itself...
...as applicable for any Ruler or Government.
The Non-Violence Concept of Mahatma Gandhiji...
(1) Friendly relations with all the World-Nations.
(2) Non-Alignment with any Nation.. Internationally... unlike all other Nations now.
(3) No Aggression by India on other countries...
...Not even subsequent Counter-attacks on any Nation...
...even if invaded by others...
...but we must only take up such cases of Offence... with U.N.O for rendering Justice... ensuring INTERNATIONAL- INVOLVEMENT and Global-Peace...
...conforming to the Goal and Commitments of U.N.O
(4) So conpicuous Military forces are NOT needed... since a WASTEFUL-EXPENDITURE...for the National Exchequer...
...and so just a Name's -sake Military-forces to protect the National Borders for Defence... is enough.
(5) Non-participation in any Military-blocs in the Global arena... like NATO.
Such a Novel- Policy... framed and mooted by Mahatma Gandhi ...
...unheard before... nor adopted by any other country, till then... was highly appreciated by Jawaharlal Nehru, Rajendra Prasad and Rajaji... followed by several others.
..But was laughed at as the Wrong- Interpretation and MISCONSTRUITION...
...of a highly meaningful concept of Non-Violence.
...and so vehemently opposed by One and the Only Sane and Solitary Voice...
...justifying his stand by stating...
..."Gandhiji's proposal is "Just Theoretical... and Not worth applicable in practice...
...especially for any Government of a Nation...
... and more specifically under the present Global situation of War-minded Nations
...and DUBIOUS atmosphere of erie Peace....
...due to continued Cold-War behind the Screens...
... rather a persistant and Concealed Threat for India...
...now left as a poor Nation by the British Occupants...
...although India is endowed with rich Resources by several aspects... even now.
Indeed Non-Violence must be our Firm-Policy...
But the Concept and Perception are far different by real sense"
Whose was that Sole Opponent Voice.?
Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel... the Ever-mighty and UNPARALLEL Leader ever seen by India...
...who was proposed for the first Prime-Ministers post of Independant India... by several National Leaders...
... but was not approved by Gandhiji.
The Concept of Non-Violence according to Vallabh Bai Patel... is different thus.
(1)
Friendly relations with all the World-Nations.
- OK.
(2)
Non-Alignment with any Nation.. Internationally... unlike all other Nations presently.
OK for the present.. Subject to Review time to time... by future Governments...
...suiting to the pracitical situations prevailing then.
(3)
No Aggression by India or Counter-attacks on any Nation... even if invaded by others...
...but We must take up such cases of Offence... with U.N.O for rendering Justice...
...ensuring INTERNATIONAL- INVOLVEMENT towards Mutual understanding and Global-Peace...
...conforming to the Goal and Commitments of U.N.O.
No Invasion by India as an Offender... is OK.
But we must MATCHINGLY possess a mighty Military force for Defence...
...as we see now... even by small countries.
If any other Nation invades on us... we should Counter- attack... and regain our Mother-land...
...but return the others parts of temporarily occupied foreigners land as per status quo ante... after such Defensive wars.
And in such cases of disputes of Agressions... we the Victims... should never approach the UNO...
...but let the Invader initially report to UNO.. and raise his claim from us......
..on which we can be strong enough to defeat the Invaders false justifications.
Such a Moral-approach... conforming to our Vedic Principles...
...already successfully adopted by our Great past Indian Royal Leaders... Shivaji and Krishna-deva raya... are the invaluable lessons for us.
(4)
Conpicuous Military forces are Not needed... since a WASTEFUL-EXPENDITURE...on our National Exchequer...
...and so just a Name's -sake Military-forces to protect the National Borders... is enough
.
No... We cannot afford to be VULNERABLE under the Eyes of others...
...conveying the SUICIDAL SIGNAL plus an undue INVITATION for the Enemies...
...as also a conspicuous TEMPTATION for the Mighty Nations.
So we must possess a Strong Military Force as a DETERRANT. Why.?
Even our Vedic Gods, our Protectors... NEVER THE OFFENDERS... are the Deterrants too.!...
..Lord Vishnu constantly exhibiting WEAPONS with Him like Chakra, Bow & Arrow, Sword etc... Why.?
...Lord Siva holding Fire, Third-Eye, Garland of Skulls.. What for.?
Any and all the Vedic Gods... openly exhibit to the Viewers... their Graceful signs combined with Weaponry DETERRANTS also parallelly.
Even the Cow... which we name as the most Non-Violent and immensely Peace-loving Animal... is endowed with Two Horns. Why.?
Although we should NEVER BE AN OFFENDER on others... we should be strong enough in defence...
...conforming to the current International Military concept...
...because we have to retaliate in the same MILITARY- Language of our Enemies ...
...true to the sense of a proud and bold Nation.
(5)
Non-participation in any Military-blocs in the Global arena... like NATO
.
OK for the present... but subject to future Review...
... suiting to the time to time developments and Global situations.
Gandhiji did not agree...And he or others could neither defeat the opposition views...
...nor could defend his own misconstrued concept and perverted perception of Non-Violence.
Thus in spite of strong justifications by Patel...
...he was forcibly SILENCED by Nehruji and Rajaji...
...whom Patel reluctantly named as THEORETICIANS... on this matter.
...although equally patriotic and sincere to the purpose.
Consequently... Not only the Indian-people... but also the whole world has seen the PITIABLE OUTCOME...
...the miserable Result... leading to IRREVOCABLE LOSS to the Indian people en masse...
... alongside the Nation in the long run too...
Rather Non-Violence was a Gross Failure in some cases in the past.... How.?
(1) Forceful CREATION of Pakistan... by grabbing Indian lands of the erstwhile parts or whole of the provinces named Sind, N.W. Frontier province, Rajasthan, Punjab, East Bengal, Kashmir etc.
(2) Unending Kashmir Problem... seriously affecting all the four parties involved.
(3) Persistent Enmity with Neighbors... as a Cold-war... although outwardly friends.
(4) Invasion by China resulting in the loss of a part of Indian border land.
(5) Cumulative Heavy Financial expenditure... for all concerned, affecting the respective people as well as the Posterity.
(6) Some sections of all concerned... as well as the WELL-WISHER commoners... now feel...
...that the Two separated countries Pakistan and Bangla-desh could have been happier and better prosperous...
...without the suicidal VIVI-SECTIONS amongst one Great mass of UNDIVIDED Indian-people...
...backed by the enviably rich and glorious background of several centuries.
If Vallabh Bhai Patel's words would have been heeded.. there would not have been such a heavy massacre...
...amongst One Ancient Indian Nationals ...
...nor the new Countries named Pakistan and Bangla-desh.. could have been nefariously created by outsiders.
...nor the persistent Enmity amongst the Brethrens.!!!
Oh.! God.!!!.. the Great PROTECTOR of Humanity.!!!...
....Let UNIVERSAL-LOVE prevail everywhere.!!!
All the above-mentioned sufferings were unnecessary and unduly caused...
...because of Gandhiji's own self-made concept and peculiar perception of a GOOD POLICY of Non-Violence...
No doubt Gandhiji realised it later and CONFESSED on his WRONG-PERCEPTION of a Best Policy...
He named it as his own HIMALAYAN BLUNDER... a New Word... added to Dictionary...
...but it was too late to recover from the heavy damages and inexplicable woes due to severe Onslaughts on the INNOCENTS....
...suddenly caught unaware.
During the later part of his regime as the first Prime Minister... Nehru too realised his blunder in opposing Vallabh Bhai Patel's right reasoning...
...So corrected himself later... and implemented the Patel's right approach of Non-Violence...
...although PARTLY... and too late.!
Thus ...by BURNING THE FINGERS... towards the FATAL OUTCOME of Pitiable consequence...
...especially UNHEALING WOUNDS...
...the Indian History has PROVED TO THE WORLD what is the Real-sense and...
...the
TRUE CONCEPT of Non-Violence.
