When "Mahatma Gandhi" (QV), first set foot in British India, he had already been to Britain and South Africa, and had created quite a stir for the benefit of people. But in India, he realized that he had first to live the life of a peasant to understand what it means to be an Indian. This solution will lead him to spread their Western clothes, and do a simple LOINCLOTH, be subjected to racial slurs from none other than Winston Churchill (Half naked Indian Fakir); Mobilize awareness of the local industry and less dependent on imported clothing and material , The historic dandee March for the withdrawal of salt tax, a fast to death to stop the virtual slaughter of British troops by irate Indian mobs, and put in prison several times. His solution was to work with stalwarts as Mohammed Ali Jinnah, Sarda Valabhbhai Patel, Professor Gokhale, JB Kripalani, Maulana Azad, and Jawarharlal Pandit Nehru to ensure first and foremost to get the British to quit India, and run after an Indian government under the Congress Party. Gandhi will soon realize that it is not enough to be just an Indian, for India has many facets - Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Jewish and Christian. The British used these many facets as an excuse for them remains as they wanted to ensure that minorities are not oppressed by the Hindu majority. Concerned over the inroads made by the Gandhi reconcile Hindus, Muslims, and all the other under a common umbrella, the British invited Jinnah for talks, and this is where the seeds were a separate country called Pakistan. When Gandhi became aware of this, he pleaded with Jinnah to unite the Muslims, also take over as first prime minister with his choice of Muslim candidates for Parliament, but separatist Jinnah had already made his mind. World War in 1914 and 1944 have taken it out of Europe and Britain in particular, weary British finally decided to leave India in 1947 - not in India they had conquered - but India was ready to be divided in East Pakistan and West Pakistan. Now after the much awaited independence was the real test for Gandhi - a test that will make him or break him - as he started a fast to death for trying to stop the violence that threatens to break out of a civil war, not realizing that he had indirectly fanned Hindu extremism, which later became known as the Shiv Sena, to get directly in their hands to ensure that Muslims are held by their Hindustan forever.

När "Mahatma Gandhi" (QV) första sätta sin fot i brittiska Indien, hade han redan varit till Storbritannien och Sydafrika, och hade skapat stor uppståndelse till nytta för människor. Men i Indien, han märkte att han hade första att leva livet för en bonde att förstå vad det innebär att vara en indiska. Denna lösning kommer att leda honom att sprida sina västerländska kläder, och gör en enkel HÖFTKLÄDE, bli föremål för ras förtala från ingen mindre än Winston Churchill (Hälften naken indiska Fakir); Mobilize medvetenheten om den lokala industrin och mindre beroende av importerade kläder och material, det historiska dandee mars för återkallande av salt skatt, ett snabbt åt döden för att stoppa den virtuella slakt av brittiska trupper av ilsken indiska mobs, och sättas i fängelse flera gånger. Hans lösning var att arbeta med stalwarts som Mohammed Ali Jinnah, Sardar Valabhbhai Patel, professor Gokhale, JB Kripalani, Maulana Azad, och Jawarharlal Pandit Nehru att se först och främst att få britterna att sluta Indien, och kör sedan en indiska regeringen under Kongresspartiet. Gandhi kommer snart att inse att det inte räcker med att vara just en indisk, för Indien har många olika aspekter - muslimska, hinduiska, sikhiska, judiska och kristna. Den brittiska använt dessa många fasetter som en ursäkt för dem kvarstår som de ville se till att minoriteter inte är förtryckta av den hinduiska majoritet. Berörda under de inbrytningar som gjorts av Gandhi att förena hinduer, muslimer, och alla andra under ett gemensamt paraply, Brittiska inbjudits Jinnah för samtal, och det är här som ett frö var som ett separat land kallat Pakistan. När Gandhi fick kännedom om detta, han vädjade med Jinnah att ena muslimerna, även ta över som första premiärminister med sitt val av muslimska kandidater till parlamentet, men separatistiska Jinnah redan hade gjort hans sinne. Världskrigen 1914 och 1944 ha tagit det ut över Europa och Storbritannien i synnerhet, trötta brittiska äntligen beslutat sig för att lämna Indien på 1947 - inte i Indien de hade erövrat - men ett Indien som var redo att delas i östra Pakistan och West Pakistan. Nu efter den mycket efterlängtade självständighet var det verkliga testet för Gandhi - ett test som kommer att göra honom eller bryta honom - som han startat ett snabbt åt döden för att försöka stoppa det våld som hotar att bryta ut i ett inbördeskrig, inte insåg att han hade indirekt fanned hinduiska extremism, som senare kom att kallas Shiv Sena, till att ta sig direkt i sina händer för att se till att muslimer hålls av deras Hindustan evigt.
