Blunders of Gandhi Nehru combine which costed India - (Pre-independance Period )- Part 1

in 1929, sardar Patel became a national hero by organising Bardoli satyagraha which was the first succesfully implemented Non violent movement. This success gave Patel the title Sardar

2.
in 1929, Motilal's term as Congress President ended and Patel was to take over as the popular choice. But Gandhi prodded Patel 2 give up his claim despite being d popular choice

Motilal had done enuf campaign with Gandhi to pass over baton to his son Jawaharlal and Gandhi

3.
obliged. Gandhi gave an UNPRECEDENTED 2nd term 2 nehru again in 1930 and again brought back nehru in 1937 and in 1947 which was very critical as the Congress President was most likely to become first PM

Gandhi's weakness 4 westernised ehru over swadeshi Patel was a dichotomy

4. Before 1936, Cong did not expect to win UP provincial elections , so they tied up with Muslim League of Jinnah . post elections, cong had comfortable majority on its own and so they stabbed Muslim league by refusing to share seats. This set the stage for Muslim league to

5. think of strengthening own party and seeking a separate country . ML reduced party membership drastically and membership rose from few 1000s to a million. JInnah wanted revenge for this humiliation by Nehru. Muslims had their pride hurt and gravitated towards ML and then to

6. http://separation.ML  started rising in stature.

in WW2, Britain announced that they along with India , shall participate , without consulting India. Nehru blundered yet again by announcing withdrawal all his provincial Governments without consulting anyone . Under pressur

7. from Nehru, all cong Govts resigned . This was a triumph 4 ML as Jinnag had absolute freedom 2 play his game with British Cong was thrown in 2 wilderness by Nehrus blunder. Inapropriate timing of cong ministry resignation when India was preparing for independance was illadvic

8 illadviced. Nehru & team passed all the 1937 electoral gains to AIML and made ML stronger . Jinnah called this decision by Nehru as a Himalayan Blunder . 1939 onwards ML was on an ascendancy , clout of cong slipped . This also led to ML having a big say in terms of Independanc

9. Whoever became cong president in 1946 was to automatically become Indias 1st PM. 15 PCCs were to decide on the new president. 12 of the 15 PCCs nominated Patel for d post and 3 abstained. Gandhi had already indicated his preference as Nahru before the nomination, yet nehru

10. scored a Duck inspite of Gandhi's call for Nehru. Gandhi then prodded Kripalani to ask CWC members to again propose nehru's name even after the defeat. On hearing this, Patel enquired with gandhi and sought this advice. Gandhi counselled Patel and asked him to withdraw his

11 name , Patel complied. When Gandhi was asked by ppl about this , gandhi quipped- I want both Patel & nehru to work together but Nehru shall not work as a second fiddle to anyone

Means though Patel had the votes, national support, was more senior, more experienced, he was

12. forced to work under Nehru
This act of Gandhi & nehru was immoral & unethical and went against the Nation's interests.

PCC alone was authorised to elect a president - this was overturned

Gandhi had resigned form Primary membership of cong in 1934 , so he had no rights to

13.
to push for Nehru' name

Gandhi never put on record y he chose nehru over Patel & y he felt Patel was unsuitable for d post

If CWC was not convinced about PCC's majority nomination of Patel, y did CWC not refer it back 2 PCC for clarification

And v got the 1st PM therefore

Did Quit India Movement gave us freedom?
This was a state sponsored hoax ! Quit India mov't in 1942 fizzled out with no response. British acted upon Freedom in 1947. So is Distorians claiming that Quit India resulted in freedom? If so y did it take 5 yrs for British to announce

freedom? post Quit India, there was hardly any movement from India against british. And when britishers announced in 1947 about granting freedom to India, many rulers of princely states asked them y they leave when there is no resistance in india?

british Initially decide on

Independance on June 1948 and then preponed it to Aug 1947

If Congress , Gandhis and nehru made them leave, why did British voluntary announced decision to leave and even preponed their departure?

Later Gandhi himself seem to have admitted it"" British is not leaving bcos of -

many other reasons"" and on choice of National Flag, Gandhi seem to hv said" What is wrong in having union jack in a corner of our flag, we need to look at the Virtues of british and they r voluntarily leaving India leaving power in our hands""

SS Gill:
it is believed that gandhi's greatest achievement is getting freedom but history doesnot support this view

Ambedkar:
Quit India turned to be a complete disaster
