As an Indian I'm so happy someone had the guts to speak the truth at an international stage

My history teacher absolutely despises him and always keeps talking about his wrong doings. I've never met a South Indian that actually believes he was a saint.

So he wasn't against discrimination, he just wanted to put his people high in this hierarchy.

Non violence in the face of true evil is the dumbest thing possible.

As an Indian I absolutely despise how this man is kept on a pedestal literally among the gods. Although I've seen a lot of videos about his darker side, finally a pretty big channel has taken the risk of bringing this info to a larger audience. I hope people learn from this.

As an Indian I would say that Subhash Chandra Bose was a far better freedom fighter than Gandhiji. Would urge people who don't about Subhash Chandra Bose (Netaji) to read about him

din mai salt, raat ko assault Salt in the day, Assault at night

Thank you for bringing this to the limelight. As an Indian I wish this message should reach every citizen of our country. People should know the real truth and realise who they are idolizing in their lives

As an Indian, I’ve always been very conflicted on this topic. My father has always thought of him as a hero and I believed that for most of my life without questioning. But I’ve heard so much about all the terrible stuff he said and believed and I’m no longer sure.

As an Indian in our textbooks His non Violence policy has laid more emphasis than the freedom fighters who fought for the country. Independence can never be gained only by non violence

"If you go looking for the bad in a man, expecting to find it, you surely will." --Abraham Lincoln

I love how he had to travel from India to England and THERE he discovered economic disparity...good one.

In India we are taught from our childhood that Gandhi was a great person.I am glad that this channel covered Gandhi's dark side.Not many channels have the guts to do this .

As an Indian I'm happy that a bigger channel has the courage to show the dark side of Gandhi. In India from kindergarten gandi is portrayed like a god. There are countless movies about him which only show the good side. Having personally read his autobiography, he overall was a good guy and has done a lot for the people, but he himself wasn't a god like perfect man. And I'm happy that my fellow Indians aren't offended. It's great to see people thinking rationally.

We're so frustrated and fed-up in India to have to live with this global scam of the image of the Mahatma. He was an incredibly crafty leader with a grassroots level connect that was unparalleled. But to deify him and call him Mahatma, when he wasn't even dharmic by his own admission. And all the unsavoury things he said and did, including bizarre quotes lightly dismissing the genocide of Hindus and Jews that many people have sadly not even heard of. No one should be above criticism and many of these so-called great people have conflicted legacies. In fact one of India's greatest intellectuals Ambedkar talks about the day "Gandhi really showed him his fangs" Glad someone made this video. We're just sick and tired of the myth of Gandhi.

as an Indian I thank you for exposing the truth. Not offending at all

I am from India. As a child, I was taught in school that Gandhi was a good man and, like God, perfect in everything. But once my father told me about the bad aspects of Gandhi. So I went to my school and talked to my friends about it. But they told everything to the class teacher and the teacher beat me for lying about Gandhi. After that, I was afraid to tell or ask anyone else what I had heard about Gandhi. Years later, when I read Gandhi's autobiography and many other books about Gandhi, I had the courage to say these things without fear to anyone else. By then my circle of friends had grown, and as my friends also learned about this dark side of Gandhi through many books like I did.. I was able to talk to them about Gandhi, analyze him, and come to a conclusion. In my opinion Gandhi is an ordinary man like all of us. A man with a lot of good and bad. I will never consider him as a great human being. But I accept the fact that he has played an important role in India's freedom movement. And I have no objection to those who live by Gandhian ideas. They follow the positive aspects of Gandhi. But I am opposed to portraying Gandhi as God-like by pretending not to see the dark side of Gandhi. Thank you for making such a video and presenting it to the world. ❤️ Love from India 🇮🇳

99% of comments: "I'm/As/Being an Indian, I..." And it makes absolute sense lol

As an Indian, I am glad you picked this topic up and chose to show who he actually was.

He was a product of his time and of his experiences. It's just a fact. It's hard to judge people from our perspective. As an American I know we will be cursed by future generations. Absolutely detested for our disrespect to the planet, insane use of resources, and pollution. I'm not a big fan of the man but he did change history and the fate of tens of millions. Good show.

As an Indian, I'm not shocked at all. I was exposed to this, deleting my fair view of him, when I was 13 or 14.

As an Indian, since childhood, we were taught he was a saint: Hindi- Mahatma. We had an entire part of history textbook teaching he was pure. But as we grew up and had access to more material to learn, we learned he was the reason why real revolutionaries like Bhagat singh were executed and India was partitioned, which killed hundreds of thousands..

In addition to the information provided by the video, we should also remember that while Gandhi himself may have advocated for the welfare of the dalits ("untouchables") at a certain time in his life, he never questioned, let alone opposed, the caste system that kept the dalits in poverty & oppression to begin with. Gandhi's vision of India did involve its being free from British control, that is true...but it did not involve any kind of civic equality _within_ India itself. As far as Gandhi was concerned, the low-born should stay in the position they were kept. Yet another reason why he does not deserve the secular sainthood that has been generated by his hagiographers.

He was tagged as "FATHER OF NATION" by the Congress party that went on to rule India for next 3 decades. So for them, Gandhi was a launchpad sponsored by the Brits. Fun Fact: Gandhi was also part of British army as Sergeant Major and wholeheartedly supported Brits in WW1, before he was air dropped into India as this epitome of "Righteousness". But those who know the Brits and their colonial bent of mind, would know that they would have seen Gandhi as merely a means to influence gullible Indians, backed by the non proven "Racism on a train in South Africa" story and hence no wonder they saw an opportunity in portraying Gandhi as a "Freedom Fighter". The views he had about Jews is exactly his views also about Hindus when he encouraged Hindus to get killed at the hands of Islamists in India. That Hindu hate is found today in Congress Party of India. Despicable Man leading a Despicable Congress Party!

Gandhi in the grave hearing he got cancelled: 💀

In school we were learning about Gandhi and the title was “Gandhi: an extraordinary man”. Nothing was said about any of the wrong doings of Gandhi and he was represented like a saint. People don’t know about the bad things he also did because it’s never talked about schools. And people wonder why the ones in power still get away with horrific things

Literally every cmnt starts saying “as an indian….”

Many individuals I met who were indian really didn't like Gandhi, even bristling at the sound of his name. They would even tell me, " Don't believe everything you hear about him, that movie about him isn't right about everything. " Then I learned more about him. The truth is finally coming out.

We need more of this. Holding human beings to this saintly ideal is ridiculous. Everyone is flawed and we need to be honest about it.

I always thought that it's wrong to idolize people. People will always be people and have some dark side. It's only ideas we should praise

From what I heard all I could summarise was: He liked challenging various social beliefs, one step at a time. He was constantly evolving and learning like any other human and was not afraid to be vocal about his beliefs at the time. He slept with a lot of women during the night without as much as touching them, the same as one would sleep with their mother or sister, hence proving his celibacy. Without him we might not have been free enough to type all our hearts out, and without him we will soon not be free again once the broadcasting bill passes :)

Gandhi has always been one of my heroes. Last year I visited the south of India and I must admit that I was rather surprised when I read one his phrases in a museum dedicated to him. As a lawyer, he apparently refused to defend a person because he new this person was guilty. In my humble opinion, a lawyer has the duty of defending even the most evil person. Otherwise he becomes a judge and a jury. Everyone should be given the chance of defending themselves.

It wasn't until I reached 9th grade , when my Social Studies teacher taught us about the bad side of Gandhi and I thank him a lot for this , for showing me what the truth was of our history, sadly he isn't in this world now. RIP Anil Pandey Sir 🙏

I remember questioning my History teacher on Gandhi's hypocrisy on bhagat singh's death but encouraging Indians to participate in WWII...my teacher didn't really respond( and I have no issues wid dat, i mean I understand that she cud not make controversial statements herself). Gandhi has done pretty good things for India's freedom struggle but his actions are exponentially over hyped. India has a lot of other freedom fighters who are, unfortunately, not appreciated and regarded as much as Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi's legacy is built on principles of truth, non-violence, and integrity. Deliberately spreading false information about him not only dishonors his memory but also undermines the values he stood for. It's important to uphold the truth and respect historical figures like Gandhi for their contributions to humanity.

I’m tired of people judging individuals of the past. Recognizing his faults by todays standards is fine but it is possible for someone to do terrible things but still accomplish something great.

Never would have known about this dark side of Gandhi.. until today I've only ever heard good things.. The Infographics Show always got mind blowing subjects on it 🤯

Gandhi is a hero in Indian school textbooks but very few people know what kind of person he really was, This video clearly explains it.

As albert einstein once said “Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth.” I believe a person’s thought ripes over the years with experiences and yet he never shy away from speaking his heart and practising what he believes in . I had read his autobiography and i could so much relate to him.

There is a big difference between Gandhi's own mindset between before 1910 and after 1910.

"I never consider Mr. Gandhi a mahatma (saint). He has shown me his real fangs." -B. R. Ambedkar (The man who led the team for writing of Indian constitution) PS - I consider him a few sane minds at the time who asked during partition a complete transfer of population, but screwd by Congress leaders. He was so practical and genuine that he said 10 years of reservation is enough for upliftment and inclusion of a depressed class to the society. But screwd by forthcoming leaders.

I still remember 4 years ago during a history class, we were reading the chapter "Rise of nationalism in India" and it has a lot parts and sub sections so we read them one by one. Then, we reached the section about gandhi his principles and stuff and there I remember it was my turn to read and the context was 'women's rights in the freedom struggle and women's right to vote' and gandhi's statement with respect to women's rights was "Women are supposed to care of their houses and that's their duty to care care of their children and husbands" This made me startle because until then gandhi was a god for us and we were never told anything bad about him so I assumed I read wrong and decided to read it again later and it still meant the same thing. I came home and looked up Gandhi like fr fr and I was so disappointed but also happy because now I wasn't idealizing a guy who was a big hypocrite. Edit: and i would say he was pretty like diplomatic manipulative leader which is why everyone liked him besides his pervy sexist and racist practices but that does not make him A GREAT LIVING BEING because he wasnt an honest man and he isnt someone who should be so looked upon as much as he is.

Whatever he did but the hate and fake allegation he gets now is on whole another level due to political reasons, its too much. And there are even people in the comments who pray his killer.

not everyone is perfect. not you, not him, not anyone. everyone has their good and bad side. he did many good things and bad things as well. yall cant point out a person randomly and say that the person is bad/good.

As an Indian.. I didn't needed the internet to figure out who he truly was . The clues were always there. His hands are red with blood of Sikhs and Hindus.

This is sad that as us Indians, we've never ever taught the actual history but only the "good parts" and we're blinded and instead of letting us decide who's a hero and who's not a hero, we've been told who's the hero and who's not the hero. Really sad.

Nobody is perfect, everyone has dark side. So individual worship is dangerous.....this is proved time and time again in history.

Grandparents sleeping with grandchildren is nothing new. It was quite common during my childhood. My German grandparents in rural Michigan, USA slept in separate beds and each of them would have grandchildren with them usually (when they visited) - both boys and girls. Nothing ever came of it.

Even India is divided on their opinions on Gandhi. I am myself an advocate for Subhash Chandra Bose, and never agreed with Gandhi's principles or ways of life. Had we not followed Gandhi, we could've had independence much earlier.

As an Indian, this is all true, i was bought up in school learning that he was the sole reason the british left, but no. The british left only after the Naval Mutiny . Gandhi also didnt allow his wife to take medicine when she fell seriously ill, resulting in her death, but when HE fell sick, he gladly took the british medicine.

As Indian And a properly educated person I do pay a huge respect and acceptance towards your content Yes, Gandhi wasn't totally good We lost two great leaders from getting power and control over India because of him

As an Indian living in Canada, I have always been told that Gandhi was a pure and good person. Although Im probably still going to hold him to high standards, Its very enlightening and important to hear about his dark side.

I was preparing for a medical examination for admission in a hospital in India... At that time one of their subjects was mahatama Gandhi's life... I had to read nearly 5 books on him to know what he truly was . Not a Mahatma for sure

Yessss! Finally a big channel said this. In India , they teach us right from kindergarten that how Gandhi was a godlike man and the greatest person to have ever walked among us. It never made sense to me ; his philosophy, his actions , his visible hypocrisy. But I was afraid of saying that out loud. Finally I realized that it was the propaganda of the ruling INC who claimed to be his successors and thus to seek public support , portrayed him as the sole freedom fighter who got India independence.

I'm indian and was taught he was a hero amongst india, I'm glad I know the truth now.

Please which software do you use for your illustration? Your videos are awesome

When we say these in India, we’ll be branded as Sanghi 😂 However when a western channel did a video, everyone wholeheartedly accepted it….very nice😌

my father always hated him. whenever i mentioned him my father deeply expressed his hatred towards him. he called him the biggest hypocrite and a pervert. i never understood why until i came across an article of this type. edit: please don't fight or bring up hateful topics in the comments. we're all pretty much mature enough not to do that and instead spread the right information while not being hateful, afterall, we shall not speak ill of the dead.

Gandhi has made INDIA better . If there is no GANDHI , still many LOWER CASTE people will be beaten to death and they will be living very poor life. He and Ambedkar made big changes for the poor ❤❤

Gandhi on even day :- Non-Violence demonstrations for Indians against British. Gandhi on odd day :- Recruiting 25 lakh Indians to fight in World Wars by British side.

Growing up Black, we were taught that Gandhi was the Intellectual Inspiration to MLK, I’m truly disappointed to hear these shocking revelations 😔

As an Indian, it is often said that Gandhi's policy of non violence or satyagraha were very significant, actually we have been taught a wrong history by degenerating the values of great heroes like S. Bose, Baghat Sing etc.

Let’s focus on his wrongs and let’s assume, suppose, conjure up, and fill in the gaps with our own biased ideas of wrong doing. Let’s take the saints and make them all devils. Let’s ignore all truth for the fact that a little lie might be somewhere in it. Let’s not read his own writings or even imagine the time in which he lived. We are so proud that we actually think future generations will regard us as intelligent and truthful.

Before Disney or any other company makes a movie about Gandhi, they should consider watching this video first, Because a lot of The Times, they mix and match the facts instead of getting the true evidence that is written in history.

Growing up as an indian you were always taught gandhi as god's angel in schools as they say him 'mahatma' gandhi, but none can deny the fact that he indeed had a influence of white superiority in him. He had even manipulated the meaning of tolerance, and all of that in the name of being religiously nonviolent, which is as wrong as it can be. Even in our religion they say, 'अहिंसा परमो धर्मः धर्म हिंसा तथैव च:' which means 'Non-violence is the ultimate duty, but you have to choose the path of Violence to protect the world from evils.' Gandhi even agreed to the proposal of division of the nation into inda and pakistan, and even if that was not enough already that he made one country an islamic state and the other one secular... Not only that, he even didn't try to stop the hangings of violent nationalists like bhagat singh, sukhdev singh and many other just because they were not following the same ideology of his free india. There are many more evidences to support that he was more interested in holding power than freedom of india.

My dad has always told me since the beginning that he was never the great man that people made him out to be. He told me all the political drama attached to him. We, as Indians, are taught about him a lot and he's referenced in a lot of things. I personally think that this is so because he went on the path of non-violence and they want to promote that in the youth of this country. However, he's given way more attention than he actually deserves and I think there were so many other freedom fighters who actually fought against the Britishers and made it possible for us to be free in this day and age. They are given way less credit than they deserve.

As an Indian, I confirm we definitely not respect him as much as West hypes him.

I don't like the fact that many people criticize other people for their wrongdoings, but the criticizers themselves haven't done anything like the ones they're criticizing nor do they dare to do so, they don't have the gut to stand up for themselves but they have the gut to criticize.

Having lived in India for 5 years, most of these facts were told to me by Indians themselves. You had a group of Indians who idealised Gandhi for the same reasons a lot of us (used to do) do, and another group of people who never ceases to preach about his hypocrisy. I personally see him as a flawed individual but racism should not tolerated.

As an Indian I agree with this. There were lot of dark sides to this man who we were told that was some kind of God level man or a monk.

Highlight the good parts, but also mention that this man is not a saint like most people think. This message should apply to anyone.

He should have remained a saint without interfering in India's Independence movement which slowed down and was delayed due to his presence

When Britishers were leaving india, they clearly said that Gandhi's impact of non-violence movemen was minimal. They were scared of NETAJI'S ARMY.

In school we were taught to believe that Gandhi was a God-like man, a flawless man of peace. History textbooks in Indian schools portray only the good sides of figures like Gandhi, Nehru, etc. That being said I do believe they played important roles in Indian independence but that doesn't mean they were perfect humans. We need to know all sides of the story.

he was the reason india was divided

As a kid I used to wonder why he was shot... Now I know why....

Really happy that Infographics took up this topic. From our childhood here we are taught mostly about Gandhi and his dark side is not talked about at all. There have been many other freedom fighters who deserve more recognition and those people absolutely sacrificed everything for India’s freedom.

He was a moster to Indians imposed as saint by ruling governments.

I'd heard Ghandi was a racist towards Black people but I didn't know the details. Thanks for sharing all of this. It's a tragedy of human behavior that so often, people who fight for racial just are fighting only for their own -- especially non-Black, non-European races. In the US, all brown non-white races benefit from the fighting and suffering of Black people throughout this country's history, yet when they fight for their race they are happy to see Black people discriminated against and left out of whatever progress they're making for themselves. Not all are like this, of course, but way too many times that's the case in my experience. But God is good, His mercy endures forever and He is against any injustice to any race -- that's why progress was actually made.

The strange thing about him is that the views of the man from Indian and British people's perspectives is the opposite of what a lot of people would expect. In Britain he is taught as being a saint who freed India from unjust British rule and a hero for the Indian people, while in India many have a more negative view of him remembering all the awful things about him.

There was a time when I thought Gandhi was a hero; an amazing man who defeated the British with his simplicity, then I read more about him, read his life and his views. And I felt disgusted. How can this man be called "Father of the Nation"?

Same as mother Teresa, she was selective on the charity giving for more publicity; and many times through her life she was queried whether a demon posessed her. She was actually exorsided. This isn't normal, a person doesnt get an exorcism without suspicion or a crazy fanatic group as her acquaintances. Her path was true and just and she was a person about helping others and making the neediest of needy desperate people a bed, a foot wash or some food. However, given that understanding she was still selective everywhere she went for a political stance; she was more pleased with pursuing the demand from rich folk or those with political influence in certain areas to pacify certain slum communities that were experiencing famine, disease, drugs, mobs, gangs, corrupt societies. The same is said about other recent political saings, you really have to question there actions. In reality, every action has a consequence.

A British general said in an interview after India's independence, when asked about the contribution of Gandhi in the struggle, he stated "It was negligible" and that India was already looted from so much and the rise of the Indian National Army led by Subhash Chanda Bose was making it difficult to earn from and control India anymore.

What a shock: Gandhi wasn't perfect but rather reflects many of the prejudices of his time. That's most people. For some reason we always think that _we_ would have been better than those benighted folks from the past- but, alas, that is a groundless assertion. We are historically determined to a large extent. There is good and bad in Gandhi. No surprise there.

"Gandhi is the greatest enemy of the untouchables (Dalits)" -Dr. B. R. Ambedkar

I'm indian and this is just 5% of what will shock you.

I'm an Indian and I love this video, finally someone revealed the truth, fullt stand with the African community! Gandhi was just a British boot-licker!

Not Gandhi but the Netaji Subash Bose was the real Hero behind Indian freedom fighting

Being an Indian, I’m happy to know how people know the truth, and I am ashamed of once respecting him deeply

It’s disgusting how Gandhi is probably the second most famous person from India in the world only after buddha. There were better leaders than Gandhi who never got recognised or celebrated.

"Fight fire with water, not fire." "Hatred destroys hatred, In this life, it cannot exist, Without hatred to destroy hatred, It's the eternal law." "Sow suffering upon others, Seek happiness for oneself, Bound by hatred and vengeance, Unable to escape from the cycle of hatred and revenge."

Einstein said that upcoming generations wont believe that a person like he ever lived on earth

Finally a video where I cleared my doubts about Gandhi's true character....surely he did a lot for India but his personality and so called "sacrifices" are worth nothing in front of true heroes of India like Bhagat Singh and Subhash Chandra Bose.

Hi! I've watched your video talking about the bad side of Gandhi. I wanted to challenge them to do the same for Winston Churchill, who was a racist who caused genocide in India and advocated Apartheid in South Africa.

As an indian i am not shocked, as a matter of fact, Mahatma=Great person. I refuse to call him "Mahatma Gandhi"

Gandhi was addicted to colonic irrigation and insisted that all his followers use it to. He would go around his ashram every morning to check that they'd done so. When they heard a knock on the door, they would call out, 'Who goes there, friend or enema?'

I remember when I read about Mother Teresa's evil acts against Hindus. I was so appalled and I regret crying and praying for her in Catholic school. This is exactly how I feel now after watching this video. I always admired Gandhi. This is shocking.

As an Indian. I can tell this story doesn't even show half of the cruel and hideous nature of this person.

The truth will always be the truth, 10 years, 100 years, 10,000 years, one beautiful day all souls will have the truth ❤❤❤

I am an Indian but also a human being and turth is the truth. And plus no one should support any extreme acts of their country and religion.❤
