Anti-Gandhi book banned in India

The Harvadi state government of India has banned Mahatma Gandhi - a curse for Bharat, written in Hindu and English by Anand Prakash Madana, a book which is said to contain derogatory references to Mahatma Gandhi that could stir up strife and enmity among different communities. According to the Hindustan Times, an official spokesman said "the action was taken under Section 95 (1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure (power to declare publications forfeited and to search warrants for it) and a case would soon be registered against the author."

I love gandhiji as a person but i do't like gandhism.......
1. He is against industrialization of india. he is against mass
production. he is against replaced of man with the machine. he is
against technology. But only technology freed man from labor and
engaged the machine. This in its turn had two results. The capacity of
the machine is limitless; man's capacity is very limited. What one
machine can do in a day will need tens of thousands of men, even
millions, to do with their hands. It is because of the machine that
the phenomenon of mass production was possible. With the machine began
the enormous stockpiling of wealth in the world. And secondly, with
the advent of the machine man became free -- free from slavery. The
end of serfdom. liquidation of slavery, Had not the machine come into
being slavery would never have ended. And also without technology how
can you sustain with this population-explosion. if we did't use
technology than we again become slave and this time not political
slave but economical slave and economical slavery is much worst that
political. now a days i am in Holland and i have seen here that only
around 4% population of Holland is ingaged in total agriculture and
still they are giving much profit to the economy of holland just
because of technology and machines. they have lot of time for doing
other higher things but in india our 80% population is farmer and
still we are starving.

2. He is against Higher education.

3. He is not follower of non voilence but he very cunningly using
voilence in the name of non- voilence. This seems very contradactory
and false because gandhiji whole teaching is of non- voilence but that
is not exactly non-voilence, it is deep voilence. Let me explain to
you, if i put a knife on your throat and say that ok you do this
otherwise i kill you than you say that it is voilence and if i put
knife on my throat and say ok do this other wise i will kill myself
than what is this ?
is this non- voilence? killing other is voilence and what about killing myself?
but people are silly they do't see such clear thing.....

if i am wrong then reply with explanation.

yes true ...i feel turning away from violence is the greatest support to violence and that is what gandhi did where was he when lalaji died when BHAKT SING died and many other .........the question still remains just for a few of his shellfish notion ...why did he stop the national movement .......i truly belive that nobody else but it's because of 'Mahatma Gandhi' (BAPU) that we are still a developing country and not a developed country.There are many unsung heroes who gave up their life at the age of 21 and is not recognized in INDIA,but BAPU who stayed in jail and starved for just a couple of days and then comfortably come out with his hand hanging around two girls with juices and milk at his service. Have we forgotten those heroes who went on hunger strike with BHAGAT SINGH and were reworded with the gift of hang until death.
Ghandhi Ji was nothing but a show off & a selfish person who was afraid to come out and face the real pain and struggle of freedom.I strongly believe that a father with such weak position doesn't deserve to be "FATHER OF NATION".I like to be called a bharatiya , JAI HIND.JAI BHARAT.

What people of today think of Gandhiji does not matter, because the memory of the people is very weak. If someone was so against his way of struggle, why was there such a huge following at those times. People of the day do not know the value of freedom and indulge in shit flinging on the Mahatma. Just remember that V all got this freedom only because of him and all those who curse Gandhiji today have the freedom of Speech only because of Him. If U don't value the freedom he has given U all by sacrificing his life for the country, then go to countries in the middle east or Afganistan and try to lead your life there. Try to express your views in a country like afganistan or even Saudi Arabia and watch what happens to U. Then come back to India and comment on the freedom U enjoy in our Great Country INDIA.

I am an anti gandhi. in India if we curse or use abuse words against gandhi, we r sent to jail. Or IPC code is registered. If any body is believing in written words then all the books which r telling truth about gandhi should be accepted, If it is positive or negative. in India if any body is writing good of gandhi it is accepted, and if anybody is writing wrong then that is banned.
Gandhis nonviolence murdered with no voice. Non violence will not do anywhere.
