Is it so? Sonia Gandhi has resigned? Whatever is therein law will take place. I will not comment further.
No amount of casuistry can defend the penalty of stoning to death in any event or that of death, whether by stoning or otherwise, for apostasy.
Only my death will determine whether I am ‘Mahomed Gandhi’, Jinnah’s slave, destroyer of the Hindu religion or its true servant and protector.
I can see that in the midst of death life persists, in the midst of untruth truth persists, in the midst of darkness light persists. Hence I gather that God is life, Truth, Light. He is Love. He is the supreme good.
You may pluck out my eyes, but that cannot kill me. You may chop off my nose, but that will not kill me. But blast my belief in God, and I am dead.
History is replete with instances of men who by dying with courage and compassion on their lips converted the hearts of their violent opponents.
Slow and inglorious self-imposed starvation among the starving masses is every time more heroic than the death of the scaffold under false exaltation.
It was a reflection of people’s faith in our policies and we hope that the opposition will cooperate with the government in its good work and play a responsible role.
Another incident that seemed to put the onus of sexual harassment on women. He wrote that when he was still in South Africa, he found that a man had been harassing his female followers. He reportedly personally cut the girls’ hair to “ward off” unnecessary attention.
In a candid and no holds barred conversation, Neelima, who makes it a point to repeat over and again that she is the fourth child of the sixth wife of the flamboyant Dalmia who was the subject of her first book ‘Father Dearest’, held the audience mesmerised with aplenty quotes.
“I had an advantage in telling the tale of Kasturba because the neglect and tyranny she and her children faced, as Gandhi led the nation to freedom, was similar to what my mother, the other wives and 18 children of the flamboyant industrialist Dalmia perhaps suffered,” she said.
Kasturba Gandhi quotes
Speaking about Gandhi’s sexual experiments, Neelima says, “Kasturba died in 1944 and most experiments happened afterwards. But some took place while she was still alive. Here was a woman who did not say a word against her husband or allowed her children to do so because she was doing the ‘dharma’ of a wife.”
The audience was irked by the author’s repeated apologies for signing Hindi translations of the book as gifts as they hoped to get it in English.
With a tinge of sarcasm, he said his wife’s “delinquency” was detected following the arrival of some thieves at the ashram.
“Fortunately for her and for the mandir (ashram), once thieves entered her room. They did not get anything, but her delinquency was detected owing to their coming,” he wrote.
Though Kasturba repented sincerely, it was proved “short lived”, Mahatma said, adding that a real change of heart had not taken place and the “fascination for treasuring money” had not vanished.

While many laud him to be one who gave women prominent positions in the Congress party and championed education for women, he ultimately did believe that home and children were women’s primary responsibility. Mirroring what most men feel today women can go thus far and no more.
On women and modern dressing, He wrote to Manu Gandhi, “What a pity that the modern girl attaches greater importance to following the code of fashion than to the protection of her health and strength.”
As Gandhi slowly turned into Mahatma and marketed to a global audience as a beacon of ahimsa which he was, much of the unflattering damaging facts were less talked about.
Even now, to touch upon the shortcomings of Gandhi is blasphemous. A small example. When the news broke on Rahul Gandhi invoking Mahatma Gandhi as the champion of women’s rights, a highly explosive debate raged on in my newsroom.
Nearly all experienced, stellar editors, with many years under their belt to be able to teach me a thing or two about journalism, were quick to defend Gandhi with “a man who had his faults” or it takes immense greatness to be able to admit and write about one’s own failings on their own, which Gandhi did.
I don’t know why are we having elections in five phases. Maybe because workers and officers of the State have helped us in implementing our policies.
Here I bring out something,on this grand day, where everyone is remembering Gandhi ji.
When Mahatma Married Kasturba
By giving an example of the bravery which a woman showed during child birth by not taking chloroform, which would have risked the child’s life and undergoing a very painful operation. He further says: “Let not women, who can count many such heroines among them, ever despise their sex or deplore that they were not born men.”
Gandhiji declared that we can not return our debts to Mother India or Mother Earth or women as mothers who have given us everything. We should remain loyal to them and cease to exploit. We should “rediscover” status of women and give them full respect and support needed by them in domestic and other works.
Mahatma Gandhi was very simple and his thing was very high he also gives this example to everyone, just to live and think to make one look great. It was a great way of life for Gandhi.
After his family moved to Rajkot, a nine-year-old Gandhi was enrolled at a local school where he studied the basics of arithmetic, history, geography, and languages. At the age of 11, he attended a high school in Rajkot. He lost a school year between the two years because of his marriage, but later joined the school and eventually completed his studies.
His wife bears the brunt, facing the repercussions of her husband’s emerging leadership, his disregard for his family’s sentiments, his random vow of celibacy, constant relocations and imprisonments, while trying to hold her family together.
“In the process I had devised my own silent form of satyagraha, a prolonged and non-violent protest against his emotional atrocities towards me and my sons by which I sometimes succeeded in making him retract his steps.”
Historical fiction is a tricky genre which runs the risk of tampering with the past if it is it is too liberal with its imagination, and boring if it is written like a documentary. I felt that the book missed the chance to balance this facet of credibility and creativity which forms the backdrop of historical fiction.

Gandhi was enthusiastic about the idea and was able to convince his mother and wife by bowing to them that he would forgo meat and sex in London. Assisted by his brother, Gandhi went to London and went the Inner Temple to practice law.

Several ongoing developments around the world indicate a growing interest in a non-violent alternative to express their views. The people involved in these developments know the name and philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi. On the other hand, they promote the values and principles that he defended.

Feminist researchers differ widely in the assessment of Mahatma Gandhi’s theory and practice of women’s emancipation during the Indian Nationalist Movement.
Ketu Katrak maintains, for example, that “like other Indian social reformers, Gandhi reinforced British liberal and imperial policies since he did not challenge women’s subordinate position in the patriarchal family structure.

“I say it is not your pride that you are a Madrasi, it is not your pride that you are a brahmin, it is not your pride that you belong to south India, it is not your pride that you are a Hindu, that it is your pride that you are an Indian.”
“When there is oppression, the only self-respecting thing is to rise and say this shall cease today because my right is justice. If you are stronger, you have to help the weaker boy or girl both in play and in the work.”
“The new has come and now the old retires. And so the past becomes a mountain cell. Where lone apart old hermit memories dwell.”
“Oh, we want a new breed of men before India can be cleansed of her disease.”
“To quench my longing I bent myself low by the streams of the spirits of Peace that flow in that magical wood in the land of sleep.”
