Did Nehru betray Chandrasekhar Azad to the British?
In this article, we focus on the martyrdom of the great revolutionary, Chandrashekhar Azad and the strange behaviour of Nehru concerning this death. We show that Azad had met Nehru a few days before his death, and that Nehru has (falsely) damned Azad & his colleagues as fascists after his meeting. We show Nehru’s antipathy to fascism and the extent to which he was willing to go to uproot. We also show how Nehru had falsely disavowed all knowledge of Azad, despite his father funding the defence of Azad in the Kakori case and he himself being a member of Kakori defence committee. We speculate on who might have betrayed Azad to the British, given the incongruities of Nehru’s behaviour and using material from intelligence officers who were involved in the case.
Fundamental Conflicts in Indian Nationhood – Gandhi vs Revolutionaries
The question then that remains to be answered is if the insistence on passive submission to violent intrusion was somehow intrinsic to Indian ethos, or is it that the revolutionaries internalised the essence of Indian nationhood?
Subhas Chandra Bose’s connections with revolutionaries of India
Subhas Bose’s association with Indian revolutionaries starting long before he lead the INA. He was seeking to operate like Sinn Fein of Ireland who provided political cover to the militant wing of freedom struggle.
Mahatma Gandhi’s war on Indian revolutionaries
In this article, we show that Gandhi had committed himself to helping the oppressed fight against their injustice, even if they did not follow his path of non-violence. Yet, in practice, while Gandhi had few problems accepting British violence against Indians in general & Revolutionaries in particular, he had a deep seated loathing for the Revolutionaries & sought to undermine them by every means. In deals that the Congress made with the British, Gandhi left the Revolutionaries to dry. He introduced Congress resolutions condemning the Revolutionaries, personally condemned the Revolutionaries & actively sympathised with the targets of the Revolutionaries. He & his colleagues (Nehru, Patel, and Rajagopalachari being prominent among them) actively collaborated with the British in suppressing the Revolutionaries. Gandhi & his colleagues never formally moved against any capital sentence for the Revolutionaries either. Among those he & his colleagues condemned & tried to erase & banish from public memory were the finest of our Revolutionaries including Bhagat Singh, Sukh Dev, Chandrasekhar Azad, Gopinath Saha, Shanti Chowdhary, Suniti Ghosh, and Vasudev Gogte, among others.
Focusing on a debate between Gandhi and revolutionaries,
We show in these pieces that the essence of Gandhi’s thoughts were derived from Christianity in general and Tolstoy in particular (at least parts directly follow from Tolstoy) and are in conflict with core principles of Indic theology, spanning from Sanatan Dharma to Jainism (which is closest among the Indic schools to Gandhi). The revolutionaries were instead, knowingly or unknowingly, rooted in Hindu foundation and ethos. Many of Gandhi’s contemporaries, both Hindus (revolutionaries like Sachin Sanyal, philosophers like Aurobindo Ghosh and masses) and Christians, saw him more as a Christian than a Hindu. We also show that he seriously pondered upon converting to Christianity, and rejected the consideration ostensibly because he believed that he could follow Jesus Christ’s teachings in Hinduism and that he could be a good Christian while being a good Hindu. We show that he was wrong there as core Christian doctrines have significant differences with Christian theology. We conjecture that he did not convert because he did not want to alienate the bulk of India, which was practising Hindu during his times. At any rate, we show that he facilitated proselytizing contrary to his stated opposition to the same.
Was Gandhi a Christian in faith and Hindu in name?
