Shri Jawaharlal Nehru did not find the book worthyof even discussion and the same Mr Nehru wasgroomed by Gandhiji as his successor. It is said that in1946, when for the Presidentship of Congress, SardarPatel received overwhelming support from the stateunits, but Gandhiji made all efforts to annointMr Nehru as the Congress President...... because after the transformation ofpower, the Congress chief had to playa crucial role and moreover, he has tobecome the Prime Minister of Indiaafter independence.took the revenge of canning Lala Lajpatrai by the Police during a peacefulprotest. The Britons with whom Gandhiji met to muster the supportexpressed deep concern on the `violence` of freedom strugglers. BritishGovernment failed to act against revolutionaries in London due to thefollowing reasons. 1) The global circumstances forced British Governmentto pose itself as law abiding and descent. 2) International laws bound theGovernment to act cautiously. 3) The pressure of awareness in Europeancommunity, which was in favor of humanity and against colonialism. 4)In England itself, the brave Indian revolutionaries were getting massivepublic support.It is to be remembered that Gandhiji had visited London to garner supportand for the purpose, he even cooperated British in South Africa to achievehis ultimate target. When the British forces oppressed innocent boerfarmers, Gandhiji immediately rushed to the service of injured Britishjawans. Why should we forget that Gandhiji was a great political fighterand the rules of political war can not be put to test for general morality.Why this excellent political maneuvering of Gandhiji, which always keptBritish Government on alert should not be learnt by the present politicalworkers.The book has, besides revolutionaries, also found mention of `Bangbhang`agitation against which wide public opinion had generated andthe people stood protesting vigorously against the order following whichthe British Government was forced to withdraw the order. During theagitation, the Hindu Muslim unity remained unstrained and intact. Butin the book `Hind Swaraj`, Gandhiji highlighted the difference in Hinduand Muslim community and underlined it as a major reason for spreadingand strengthening British rule in Bharat. Thus, `Hind Swaraj` has becomestrategic documentation.It is very clear that the book is notrelevant today as for six to seven years,after writing the book, Gandhi ji hadnot come to India and it is also clearthat he does not intend to come toIndia for political work, while writingthe book. When I discussed it withProfessor Rameshwar Prasad Mishra,who had read Gandhi ji deeply, hetold that Gandhi ji himself had neverattached importance to the book `HindSwaraj` because Shri Jawaharlal Nehrudid not consider the book worthy ofeven discussion. Gandhi ji consideredShri Nehru as his successor and duringthe presidential election, when most ofthe regional committees of differentstates were in favor of Sardar Patel in1946, Gandhi ji made sustained effortsto anoint Nehru as the party President.The party President of the Congresshad to play a crucial role during thetransformation of the power and to holdthe post of Prime Minister thereafter.Had Gandhi ji attached importance toHind Swaraj, he would not have goneover-board to support Shri Nehru.Gandhi ji was not incautious or carelessperson. He was not a non-politicalperson too. Shri Mishra told that `HindSwaraj` was given importance in theyear of his 125th birth anniversary.It was during a massive agitation,when a group of Gandhians opposedthe Congress and activated in thefavor of Shri Jaiprakash Narayan. TheGandhian leaders opposed Shri Nehru,Smt Indira Gandhi and the Congressand highlighted that neglect to `HindSwaraj` to prove the point that theCongress has no faith in Gandhi ji.22 & YOGSANDESH & October 2013
