Independence Day

4th July, Fremont, California

While I am observing roza today to express solidarity with my Muslim brethren, I cannot forget that 4th July is also Independence Day in America.

On this day the American Declaration of Independence was signed, which stated those immortal words " We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness ".

 I am a great admirer of the American War of Independence ( 1775-1781 ), and of its leaders, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, Benjamin Franklin, etc. They were truly giants.

 If only we had had such a militant War of Independence against British rule under the leadership of Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, Surya Sen ( Masterda ), Ashfaqulla, Ram Prasad Bismil, Khudiram Bose, Rajguru, Sukhdev, etc instead of that farcical drama called 'satyagrah' under that traitor Gandhi, India would not be in the miserable plight in which it finds itself today

 Long live the great American people ! Long live the great American War of Independence ! Long live George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, John Adams, etc

The fake ' Mahatma '

Gandhi  injected  religion into politics for 3 decades by constantly advocating Hindu religious ideas like Ramrajya, goraksha, varnashram, brahmacharya, etc in public meetings and in his articles ( see my earlier posts and blogs e.g. 'Gandhi--a British agent', 'Gandhi and caste', etc ) This no doubt secured him power over the backward Hindu masses as he was perceived as a saint or baba ( and even today babas have a powerful hold among many ), but the price paid was Partition and its horrors, as the Muslims were inevitably driven towards the Muslim League.

 Gandhi also successfully diverted the freedom struggle from the revolutionary direction towards which great and genuine freedom fighters like Bhagat Singh, Surya Sen, Chandrashekhar Azad, Ashfaqulla, Khudiram Bose, Rajguru, Bismil, etc taking it towards a harmless nonsensical channel called satyagrah.

 This fake, who did so much harm to our country, has been called the ' Father of the Nation', and for exposing him I was condemned  by Parliament without even giving me a hearing, which even murderers get.

 Since I was denied a hearing by Parliament, I decided to go to the people, who are the highest Court in a democracy, through teehe press, to get a hearing

Long Live Our Real Freedom Fighters

 Today, 23rd March, is the death anniversary of  those whom I call as 'our real freedom fighters', ( as contrasted to that fake freedom fighter Gandhi ), Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru  who were hanged on this day by the Britishers in Lahore jail, their bodies secretly burnt and their ashes thrown away in some unknown place. Those other real freedom fighters, Chandrashekhar Azad, Ashfaqulla, Khudiram Bose, Ram Prasad Bismil, etc had been killed or hanged by the British earlier, and that great revolutionary Surya Sen ( Masterda ) in 1934

  In my speech recently at Berkeley University i California I said that a real freedom struggle can never be non violent. Was the American War of Independence against the British ( from 1775 to 1781 ) non violent ? Did George Washington fight with the British by presenting them flowers and satyagrah, or with bullets ?

 It is commonsense that no one gives up a huge empire because of hunger strikes, salt marches and other such Gandhian dramas. A real revolutionary struggle against British rule had begun through the abovenamed real freedom fighters, but it was still in its nascent stage when it was nipped in the bud by that cunning British agent Gandhi, who successfully diverted this genuine freedom struggle from its revolutionary direction to a harmless, nonsensical channel called satyagrah, which meant presenting the other cheek when your enemy strikes you on one cheek, instead of bravely exchanging blow for blow.

Our real freedom fighters and patriots have been carefully relegated to a footnote in our national historiography, and that cunning rascal Gandhi has been portrayed as the ' Father of the Nation ' who gave us freedom ' bina khadak bina dhaal '.

Gandhi described Bhagat Singh and the militant Indian youth fighting against British Imperialism as ' misguided souls '

 When the British sentenced Bhagat Singh to death, Gandhi made no effort to save his life.  He never wrote any letter to the British Viceroy to commute his sentence, and never issued any public appeal to that effect. In all probability he was happy that his rivals as freedom fighters had been eliminated, otherwise his popularity and ' Mahatmahood ' would have disappeared.

 India got independence not due to the dramas of Gandhi but because in the Second World War Germany attacked England and weakened it ( in fact if America had not helped her it is probable that Germany would have conquered England ), and because of American pressure on the British
