one. Why Mahatma Gandhi was acclaimed around the world
Maybe Gandhi is the only politician who can get positive reviews all over the world. He was once regarded as the conscience of the world by former US Secretary of State Marshall. With his modesty and wisdom, he pointed out the direction for the people of Asia, Africa and Latin America who opposed colonialism at that time.
Of course, if a person only has positive comments, it also shows that the so-called great achievements of this person must have been whitewashed by future generations. Saints are human beings, after all, make mistakes, and shed tears of remorse one night. The film itself is still American-style preaching, the correctness of Western democratic societies, and the humanitarianism that advocates Western laws. Gandhi, as a figure who has received the enlightenment of Western democratic education and represented the interests of the broad middle class, was featured in this film and was selected as the best Oscar, which obviously has very far-reaching political significance. A journalist who upholds justice and discovers the truth, a lawyer with high morals, a fair and strict Western law, a priest whose guiding ideology brings power, and the power of freedom and democracy. There are many of these elements in the movie.
The film begins with Gandhi being assassinated by Muslim extremists. The grand state funeral scene and the elegiac couplets of dignitaries from all over the world show Mahatma Gandhi's great personality. When Gandhi was young, he used to be a lawyer. After he suffered severe racial discrimination in South Africa, he began to devote himself to the affirmative action for people of color without hesitation. Years of Western-style education made him more inclined to use laws, protests and media exposure, the forces within these systems, to fight for his rights.
two. How was Mahatma Gandhi made?
He upheld the Christian idea of equality of all beings and followed the laws of the British Empire. The series of results of his struggles in South Africa gave his compatriots far away in India hope—the hope of getting rid of colonial rule completely. Of course, the emergence of India in the current sense is itself an accident. In such a region integrated by foreign colonists, the internal disputes are far greater than the differences between them and the British. But there was a shock from the awakening of European nationalism around the First World War. It also made the elites of the colonies start to move.
In 1915, Gandhi ended his glorious journey in South Africa and returned home. Everyone felt that they saw hope for a while, but Gandhi did not immediately launch a political campaign. Instead, he took the train and started a journey all over India. This extraordinary journey gave him a deep understanding of the poverty and backwardness of India, which made him reluctant to cooperate with the panelists who were dressed in fine clothes and food. At that time, the Indians just hoped to get the same rights as the British. At a meeting, Gandhi, who had long lost confidence in the British authorities, proposed that India should be an India of the Indian people and should seek independence and self-government. He criticized not only the brutality and greed of the British government, but also a group of political speculators and careerists within India, an initiative embraced by his large following.
three. What was it that caused colonial rule to begin to disintegrate?
After the end of the First World War, the world was plunged into an upsurge of imperialist partition of the spoils. He thought that the Indian elites who had helped the British during the war did not wait for the British to send their peaches and plums, but were brutally suppressed by the British army. British regular troops under the command of General Dyer carried out a bloodbath on unarmed Indian civilians, resulting in nearly 1,500 casualties. To protest this massacre, an unprecedented regiment of Indian people was built around Gandhi. They started a non-cooperative movement, which included general strikes, boycotts of British goods, and more. This caused a headache for the British government, and violent incidents of the repressed military police and the marching masses were also on the verge of breaking out.
A police station was burned, leading to the failure of Gandhi's movement for civil disobedience. This made Gandhi quite self-blame, for which he started his first hunger strike. Let the resistance of the Indian people return to the framework of British law. This middle-class revolution was indeed supported by the so-called Indian elite at the time. Under the reports of American journalists, Gandhi and the Indian national movement he led have been widely recognized by people all over the world. This also gave Mahatma Gandhi an unprecedented international reputation. This series of reports has also made many people in the UK have sympathy. This great charisma laid the foundation for India's peaceful independence.
With the outbreak of the Second World War, the British government's control over India was getting worse day by day. Huge military spending, fierce fascist enemies, and the strong rise of the United States and the Soviet Union seem to have given Indians new hope. In view of Gandhi's great appeal, the British government had to choose to imprison Gandhi. This captivity eventually led to the death of Mrs Gandhi. Years of company, let Gandhi hurt. But he did not give in, but chose to continue to devote himself to the great cause of national independence.
The British, who saw that the situation was going away, did not choose a peaceful handover, but provoked conflicts between Muslims and Hindus. Gandhi sees it in his eyes and hurts in his heart. This conflict of beliefs cannot be bridged in an instant. Especially among the Indian peasants who were dazzled by nationalism at the time, they were all too easily agitated. Sure enough, India has split into India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. And in the process of ethnic migration, a fierce conflict broke out, which almost turned into a war. Gandhi, who had no choice, stood up again. He chose to go on hunger strike again to resist this crazy behavior.
Nehru, then Prime Minister of India, made a special trip to Gandhi's residence, hoping to be enlightened by this wise man. Gandhi, who is 78 years old, used his hunger strike and unparalleled appeal. It really stopped the vendettas of all ethnic groups in India. His mass nature, the nature of the working people, and his humility, honesty, and openness, treated no distinction between good and evil. Let him get India's largest group - farmers, sincerely support.
But he was running out of fuel, and he actually had a premonition that his time was running out. For the future of India, Gandhi finally chose to die and use love and righteousness to influence the Indian people who were caught in the crazy conflict. People always die, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather. Gandhi used his great charisma and the most otherworldly wisdom of the 20th century to lead 400 million Indians to a path of independence. The achievement of becoming the largest democracy in the world is immortal.
Four. Both countries with large populations, where will China and India go?
Someone once said that China is one Mao Zedong worse than India. This is true. India now faces no less problems than it did back then. The caste system, the problem of extreme poverty, the problem of population, etc., etc., still trouble this giant of South Asia. India is lucky because they are democratic. This allowed them to gain independence and power at the least cost. But he is unfortunate, because of democracy, they can only choose to compromise in the face of big right and wrong. An India, which has never formed a unified situation, has continued to this day in the form of a republic. This is indeed a victory for democracy, but it is definitely not for the Indian people to be thankful. Because they are so fragile that it only takes a crisis to cause them to fall apart.
Just as a person knows the temperature of drinking water, his merits and demerits should be judged by future generations. The reason why Gandhi's non-violent non-cooperation movement is so popular in Europe and the United States is that the movement itself follows the mainstream framework of Europe and the United States. For the majority of property owners, the ultimate victims of any riot are actually them. Thinking of this can also explain the fundamental reason why they regard the communist revolution as a monstrous beast. Today, after my high-speed economic development, reformism will gradually give way to reformism. The rise of neoconservatism and neo-Confucianism will surely become an important force that will shape the future direction of the country. Is it the realization of the ideal of all brothers in the world, or the repackaging of the three cardinal guides and five permanent members in the new era. It requires our generation to think carefully and explore gradually.
