Very surprised to see Mandela cited as having been influenced by Gandhi. Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years for rejecting non-violence, which he clearly admitted to doing, and thus it seems inappropriate to heve him here. -- SqueakBox 17:41, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)
Mandela is/was a communist (Marxist/Lenist) - Marxism-Leninism is per definition violent. However we can be sure that the ANC/SACP looked at Gandhi for copying mehtods gullible "libarals" would find agreeable. Mandela and his handers also wanted to take-over the whole of South Africa. Something he then wanted to fuck every one he then saw he did it really hard.Ok... so an economic system is violent.. that makes perfect sense. Thats a mighty racist view of yours by the way and I'm interested in seeing these "opportunities" for self government. You sound more like a brainwashed puppet of a racist ideal than an intellectual. Please dont deface the discussion thread with your useless and blatantly incorrect (and biased) lies. Not to mention this article is on Gandhi not Nelson Mandela.
P.S. Learn how to spell, people will then treat you as an informed racist instead of just a plain idiot.
Can people sign there statements? (neither of those above are mine just to clarify). -- LeftyG 06:50, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
original comment vandalism: people say that he died by killing him self at a suside but others say that he died by a natural death
What did Gandhi feel needed to be changed when he returned to India in 1915?(198.164.250.16, 16/5/2005)
Some anon is repeatedly adding stuff which is already there in the principles section, that too in an unencyclopedic tone. He also deleted a section on the title Mahatma without giving any reason. I've reverted him/her. -- Sundar ( talk · contribs) 11:53, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
Does any know about the truth behind the claims that ghandi denied his wife penicilin letting her die, then later used quinine himself?- Joaaelst
Some of the less favourable details of his life are not often discussed openly, probably because it would damage the saintly image that exists of Ghandi. He has been known to be racist towards blacks during his South African years. In his later years he had numerous sexual encounters with adolescent women, performing bizarre rituals involving enemas. The truth of these claims have been confirmed by his grandson.
Why does this article not have anything on the racist comments that Gandhi made? Sundar, why did you revert my addition of a "Criticism" section? -- 198.54.202.18 ( talk · contribs)
Should this not be reworded? In my opinion, it is not written from a NPOV. -- nirvana2013 08:48, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
It mentions in the article on Ladysmith, South Africa, that Gandhi organised a stretcher-bearing corps there. Is this true, and should this be incorporated into this article? ( Silverhelm 23:46, 15 August 2005 (UTC))
The article contains this line : This new Muslim homeland was created on 2 different sides of India, marking the first time in history a country had been established on different sides of each other.
What about Alaska ? Tintin 07:32, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
He did form an indian strecher corps during the Boer war and also a during a later rebellion. During the rebellion his corps were the only ones who treated black casualties - source - his autobiography
Should this not be reworded? Gandhi was far too modest and humble to be elevated to "God-like" status. In my opinion, an article written in these tones about this great man and his principles does not help the reader and may repel them. -- nirvana2013 18:36, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
Reponse - my dear fellow, The reference to "God-like" status arises from the the fact that over 1 billion people are deep admirers of this man.
Gandhi didn't like being called "Mahatma," or "Bapu"? Shall I do the honors and strike them out as well?
Quoting the article: "The Muslim league wanted a separate homeland for themselves, on the basis that Muslims couldnt live side by side with non Muslims."
I find this statement not just inaccurate and POV, but downright offensive. Whoever wrote this, please cite that "Muslims cannot live side by side with non Muslims", or that any of the leaders of the Muslim league said this was the reason they wanted their own state.
Quoting: "However most Muslims did not want to break up India. The majority of Muslims lived side by side with Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis, Christians, & Jews, and were in favor with a united India."
Cite please. This stinks of POV. The second sentence reads like something out of a school composition rather than an encylopedia.
For the sake of the quality of this article, this should be modified to avert a new edit war.
POV: You are wrong in stating that a majority of Muslims backed a united India. If Jinnah didn't enjoy the political support of the majority, all this would have been impossible.
The actions/reactions of Muslims in Punjab, Bengal and Sind during Direct Action Day are sufficient to justify the statement - Nirav.maurya
This may be a bit nitpicky, but is this necessary at the start of the article? I mean, if I were to search for "Gandhi "the words "Redirected from Gandhi" already appears at the top of the page. I removed the line. (I'm not sure if it's wikipedia policy however. If it is I don't think it's a good one. Borisblue 00:00, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
I'm considering reverting this. Please explain your edit. I also intend to NPOV-ize your other addition. -- goethean ॐ 20:06, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
Alright. Some one should revert this Nirav.maurya guy's edits. They're most annoying. Gold Stur 21:50, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
Hello All,
There are two very objectionable mentions in this article regarding partition. It is suggested that (1) majority of Muslims supported a united India, and (2) League was a minority party.
(1) is a minor possibility, since there are many Pakistani historians who claim nobody actually had any real conception of Pakistan. But it could simply be nonsense. If Muslims did not openly back the League at different levels of society, there would be no way the Congress would have conceeded anything to Jinnah.
Jinnah's star rose after 1942, but his popularity was real.
(2) The League controlled almost every Muslim electorate seat in the Central Assembly and Provincial Assemblies in the election rounds held in 1947.
The not-so-underlying cause of partition was the threat of direct Hindu-Muslim civil war, which drove Gandhiji to desperation in attempting to stop partition.
I won't be as uncivilized as to strike out the sentences without reasonable time for discussion, but these are clearly, factually invalid statements - Nirav.maurya
The section The Triumvirate covers a lot about the life of Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel. I do not think that Patel deserves so much detail in this article. The section looks more Patel centric than Gandhi centric, with Nehru at the sides. I think it is better to move it to the page about Patel. Apart from this, I might be wrong but it looks like a copyvio to me. The reason is that nothing about Patel was mentioned in the article before, it is a huge chunk of information that has come up suddenly. The style of the writing itself does not feel encyclopedic. I get the feeling I am reading an essay about Patel from a book or website.
example: Both in 1929 and 1946, Patel obeyed the Mahatma. In 1946 especially, it was the greatest sacrifice to forgo becoming India's first Prime Minister. Yet Patel never hesitated to relinquish the honor, and remained very close to Gandhi. Why did Gandhi pick Nehru? Contemporary media often portrays the Gandhi-Nehru relationship as that of a father and son...
On second though, the entire section The Gandhian Generation looks like it has been copied and pasted. Try reading this from Mentors and Proteges
Gandhi's optimistic, sweet nature won him the undying loyalty and reverence of thousands of co-workers, and led them to openly confide with him and ask his guidance upon the most personal issues of the lives of each person.
Rabindranath Tagore wrote a poem for Gandhi, which famously and beautifully asked him to press forward, do the right thing and walk forth, even if it meant walking alone. Luckily, the hundred million followers of Gandhi made sure this encouragement was not necessary.
LET ME CLARIFY THAT THE SECTION "THE TRIUMVIRATE" IS TO DISCUSS THE EMOTIONS, RESPECT AND LOYALTY INSPIRED BY GANDHI IN HIS CLOSEST COLLEAGUES AND FRIENDS, ESPECIALLY SARDAR PATEL AND NEHRU.
THERE HAS BEEN NO COPY OF ANY PUBLISHED MATERIAL, BUT MY OWN COMPOSITION FROM THE DATA I OBTAINED FROM REFERENCE BOOKS.
I THINK ANY BIO OF GANDHI SHOULD DISCUSS THE PASSION HE AROUSED IN PEOPLE, SO AS TO BECOME THE ICON AND LEADER HE WAS OF MILLIONS OF FREEDOM-FIGHTERS.
AND SO I TAKE THIS CRITICISM AS A compliment to my writing talent! Thank you!
- Nirav Maurya
One cannot not choose to discuss Sardar Patel and Nehru in some detail in Gandhi's biography, because Gandhi was primarily responsible for Vallabhbhai Patel joining the Independence Movement and becoming the man he was. And most folks know that Gandhi was Nehru's core mentor and tutor.
I repeat, you HAVE TO explore Gandhi's effect on such powerful characters, to understand Gandhi the leader of men. To do that, you HAVE TO detail how Patel and Nehru felt about Gandhi. The response Gandhi's death evoked in Patel and Nehru should suffice to prove my point.
- Nirav Maurya
found this:
"Gandhi believed that at the core of every religion was Truth (satya), Love/Nonviolence (ahimsa) and the Golden Rule. He was deeply influenced by the Christian teaching of nonresistance and "turning the other cheek", once stating that if Christianity practised the Sermon on the Mount, he would indeed be a Christian. Gandhi felt that one should be aware of worshiping the symbols and idols of the religion and not its teachings, such as worshipping the crucifix whilst ignoring its significance as a symbol for self-sacrifice, for example.
Noooooo!!! stop reading jacob!!!!"
but the last line doesn't show on the edit page, so can't remove it...
The article says that he even inspired RSS. RSS, though it claims today to have been inspired by Mahtama, the fact remains that it was an organisation that was charged with the assassination of Gandhi. Hence, I am removing that reference. -- Gurubrahma 10:23, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi there. I'm no expert on Gandhi or India/South Asia, but recently edited a section in this article for clarity and WP:NPOV. It seems to me that significant portions of the article are written from a somewhat adulatory position—one not consistent with encyclopedic standards. I thought I'd point out that encyclopedia articles should be written from a detached, neutral, third-person viewpoint; it helps sometimes to imagine you're a complete outsider "looking in" on your subject. For example, imagine you're a Martian who's been asked to compile a report on Gandhi for other Martians to read.
An example of an unsuitable sentence is:
The author of this sentence clearly has the opinion that being "truly free in spirit and character" is more "important" for a people than the control of their own Government; hence, he accepts that opinion as indisputably factual, and writes that Gandhi knew this. However, as plausible as the sentiment may be, it is in fact an opinion (one that is here ascribed to Gandhi, I'm assuming correctly). It is not a non-disputable fact, as a good argument can be made that a people having control of their own democratically elected Government is more important than their being ""truly free in spirit and character". Thus, when writing from a NPOV, a better sentence may be:
Not only does this sentence avoid casting the opinion as a fact, notice that it is "detached" from the subject: it observes what he thought and it describes his opinion, but it does not co-opt his opinion.
I think that a good rewrite will make this nice article much better. I'll watchlist this and try to help out in the coming weeks/months, unless some good soul has at it in the meantime. Incidentally, I have also observed some unusual edits which appear to me, even as a non-expert, to be patently clear POV pushing; however, I'm not knowledgeable enough about the politics of the time and place to rewrite for content.

Hi there, the POV sections such as Vision for India, Influence on Hindu society, the Gandhian generation, Opponents, and Legacy were all added long after the article became a FA. thought I shd inform -- Gurubrahma 05:25, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
I removed "instead using only the highest moral standards" from the introductory paragraph. This phrase doesn't have an NPOV. -- CompREM 16:06, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
Hello Gurubrahma, Nirvana and the Wikipedia Community,
I apologize for the insertion of biased sections into this article, affecting its integrity and quality. Those sections are: the triumvirate, opponents, Vision for India and couple others
I apologize also for being arrogant and not recognizing my mistakes, and not making an honest effort to understand the rules and mission of Wikipedia. I got into Wikipedia for all the wrong reasons.
I apologize for trying to revert and attack the edits and corrections of other members, using the privileges of the Anon ID.
You guys ought to consider tougher rules about Anon participation, or the ability to change stuff put in by registered Wiki users.
Har Har Mahadev!
Nirav Maurya.
Dear All,
The India's Triumvirate and Proteges and Mentors sections are not connected with Gandhi as a Leader of Hindu Society.
There is, as some point out, biased info in those sections. I'd suggest y'all clean it up, but the core purpose of those two sections is to explore Gandhi's aura, effect and relationship with his closest colleagues, and his fitting in between old-era Indian leaders and spawning the new generation.
Jai Sri Rama! - Nirav Maurya.
We ought to use a less strange word.
Hi,
Someone has just added a link to a page about Indira Gandhi.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that link belongs on this page.
