Gandhi Vs. Revolutionary Activists

Gandhi’s return from South Africa and Gandhi’s emergence in Indian politics in 1914 had changed the course of history. His non-violent non-cooperation movement (1920), civil disobedience movement 1930 and Quit India movement 1942. set forth three pillars of all time Indian history and finally made him the father of the nation. But was this all about the Indian politics? Is this the only proof of achieving the freedom of India? Is this the only platform where we could gather ourselves for paying respect to the martyrs of the long way of freedom fighting? If that is all then where we keep places for Syed Ahmad Shaheed, Titu Mir, Hazi Shariat Allah, Sepoy’s of mutiny of 1857, Vaghat Shing, Chandra Shekhar Azad, Master Da Surja Sen, Khudiram and others.

No matter. We just leave them for a while. But when we want to start our discussion regarding the freedom fighting and the historical role of Gandhi then our mind went to the year of 1920 and then also went to the year of 1905 when the Bangla was first divided and first real opposition to the English was exhibited and the revolutionary activists under the guideline of the nationalist leader Aurobindoo Ghosh. Actually Kolkata was the Capital of India till 1911 when due to Swadeshi movement the British transfer its capital to Delhi and deprived Kolkata in order to made them less influential in Indian politics. Kolkata was the center of all administrative power. The Swadeshi movement gave them united Bangla but experienced them losing the capital city that made more harm to the India and its future. In Delhi the heart of India fell in the hands of Brahmans and they avoided the interest of the rural Indian people. That is why India remains same, as it was hundreds years ago. It is still a nation in making. It is always searching its way of being out of this horrible.
