There are some other aspects as well. which allow a new glimpse of Gandhi's life. They include the following some of which will not be liked by the official historians, for want of directions from above;

1. Gandhi was not an ordinary person like most of us. He belonged to the line of Prime Ministers of a group of states around Rajkot;


2. Prime ministers to Indian states and Residents used to be appointed by the British rulers, who acted as agents of the Empire as again the rulers of Indian states;

3. Only those students were sent to England to study law were generally not promising students and whose parents had enough of money to spare;

4. Most of he colleges in England used to be residential ones, and the degrees were allotted after spending a particulate number of years.


5. Even matriculates could such law degrees;

6. Merit was determined by the British rulers not on the basis of excellence of candidates but it was suited to the deficiency of the candidates;

7. Most of the early Indian students came from about 600 students came from princely states who were taught lesson that "parhoge lkhoge hovoge khraab, kheloge koodoge banoge nawab";


8. When students from ordinary but rich families started going to England for higher studies, and secured better grades than the princes, the merit of princes was upgraded by allotting more marks for sports, extra curricular activities;

9. Gandhi was an average student, he never gave priority to studies, he started spending time in learning dance and leading an easy life and eating meat;

10. Still, he cared for the opinion of his elders, particularly his mother. Therefore he imposed self-discipline and reverted to his early comparatively chaste life;

11. He does not deserve to be give special credit for believing in non-violence since Manusmriti required Vaisyas to remain subservient to Brahmanas and particularly the armed Kshatriyas. His non-violent conduct could not be ascribed to the teachings of the Buddha and Lord Mahaveera;

12. his conduct in South Africa confirmed to the delight of the Brituish rulers that if r the leadership if Indian distrust was entrusted to a man like Gandhi, they could easily rule over India unhindered fro many more decades;

13. When Capital of India was at Calcutta, Tagore family used to be the best recipient of the favors of the British Empire. Rabindra Nath Tagore's grand d father was so rich that he had traveled in his own steamer to England for being in the audience of Queen Victoria;

14.The Tagore estate around Shantiniketan was the health resort of British couples earmarked for merrymaking;

14. After shifting of the Capita to New Delhi in 1912, the role of Tagore was taken over by Motilal Nehru at Allahabad.

15. Motilal Nehru was initially not an advocate but he was only a mukhtiar and in that capacity he had become friendly to one Judge Mullah, who had give his Anand Bhavan to Motilal;

16. Motil al had an excellent rapport with judges in England so that Jawaharlal had the freedom to visit their residences even as a law student;

17. Jawaharlal Nehru was senior to Gandhi in Congress;

18,Gandhi was persuaded by Gopal Krisna Gokhale and Tagore's emissary Andrews by going to South Africa to shift to India and take charge of Politics there;

19. Gandhi was asked by Bal Gangadhar Tilak to remain on probation for quite a few years and get acquainted with rural India and its poverty. BG Tilak was a Congress extremist who wished the British to leave immediately unlike Gokhale, the mentor of Gandhi;

20. Gandhi had come to hold the reigns of Congress in 1921 when he got a resolution passed to the effect that he would remain a life tie dictator of Congress;

21. Thus the writ of Gandhi was honored not because of any special regard for him but because of his being a dictator and his continued friendship with all the Viceroys of India;

22, Gandhi's arrival in India was celebrated by he British rulers by conferring upon him the Kaiser-I hind Award on him on the very next day of his arrival in India for the most outstanding services to the British Empire while being in South Africa;

23. Gandhi had not helped the Boers and Zulus of South Africa in their revolt against British Rulers but he had served to his best the British rulers;

The list can go on and on but at this stage it should suffice to generate the special interest in the unwritten side of history of Indian freedom struggle.
