LONDON: Mahatma Gandhi once confessed that the greatest regret of his life was that there were two people he had not been able to convince. One was Quaid-i-Azam Mohammed Ali Jinnah, whose demand for a separate homeland for Muslims led to the partition of India in August 1947 and the end of the dream of a united, independent India. The other person was his own eldest son. Harilal Gandhi’s entire life was lived in the shadow of his father and it was spent rebelling against everything his father believed in. Gandhi’s stern morality, sexual abstinence and principled stand against Britain were all challenged by his son, who was an alcoholic gambler trading in imported British clothes even as his father was urging a boycott of foreign goods. Harilal even converted to Islam and changed his name to Abdullah before his death in 1948, only months after his father was assassinated by a Hindu extremist. Sixty years on from the Indian independence he was so instrumental in securing, Gandhi is a symbol of innocence and peace; a simple man in peasant clothes whose adherence to non-violence defeated the British and would later inspire both Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela. This was the Gandhi depicted in Richard Attenborough’s multi-Oscar-winning film a quarter of a century ago: a dhoti-clad demigod. Attenborough’s film told the story of Gandhi as the father of a nation; now a new film, Gandhi, My Father, reveals the extraordinary story of the son and the man he described as “the gre...

A photo showing Mahatma Gandhi with a kid is being circulated on social media with claims that the child is Gandhi's grandson Kanu Gandhi at Dandi March in 1930. India Today Anti Fake News War Room (AFWA) found that the picture was clicked at Mumbai's Juhu beach in 1937 when Gandhi was convalescing after an illness and was living in RD Birla's bungalow at Juhu. By Balkrishna, Arjun Deodia: One of the most well-known pictures of Mahatma Gandhi, in which a child is seen waking ahead of him holding the other end of his stick, recently started circulating on social media. This was in the backdrop of the death of an infant in Shaheen Bagh protests and the Supreme Court coming down heavily for using children in political agitations. A Google search about the picture throws up multiple results saying this is a photo of Gandhi and his grandson Kanu Ramdas during the historic Dandi March of 1930. But investigations by India Today Anti Fake News War Room (AFWA) found that multiple acclaimed global and national media organisations have been wrongly linking this photo to the Dandi March. This picture was clicked at Mumbai's Juhu beach in 1937, when Gandhi was convalescing after an illness and was living in RD Birla's bungalow at Juhu. The misleading information about this photo is also circulating on AFWA probe We found five evidence that proves the viral photo is not from Dandi March but Juhu beach seven years later. Evidence one With the help of reverse image search, we found the ph...

New Delhi [India], June 10 (ANI): Former Hitting out at the Union minister, Sibal, who also happens to be one of the country's leading advocates, said the BJP and the Rashtriya Swamyamsevak Sangh (RSS), its ideological fountainhead, can never truly acknowledge the contributions of Mahatma Gandhi as they had offered to help the British rulers during the freedom struggle. "Was Godse a good son as Earlier, "The assassin of Mahatma Gandhi was not an invader like Mughal emperors Babar and Aurangzeb. He was born in India and was a son of the soil," Singh said on Friday. Condemning the Union minister's statement, TMC MP Saugata Roy said he heaped praise on a person who killed the "Father of the Nation". "I reject his statement. He sang praises of a person who killed the Father of the Nation. He said the Mughal emperors were enemies of India," the TMC MP added. Singh made the remark in response to a statement by AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Godse. Owaisi was responding to Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who made a remark invoking Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. Singh said people, who take pride in being called the descendants of Babar, cannot be considered true sons of India. An FIR was registered against Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leader Sandeep Deshpande and 8 others under Maharashtra Police Act 37, 135, for burning an effigy of Aurangzeb in the aftermath of Kolhapur violence, Mumbai Police said on Thursday. A curfew was imposed in Kolhapur the day before...

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, and this was the case in Manilal Gandhi and his father, the renowned Mahatma Gandhi. While the father of the nation is hailed as an all important figure, his son, Manilal Gandhi too left a mark on the world. Born on October 28, 1892 in Gujarat's Rajkot, Manilal was the second son of Gandhi and Kasturba. Having been home-schooled because his father did not believe in formal education, Manilal was trained at Phoenix Settlement (founded in 1904) and Tolstoy Farm (founded in 1910). He was regarded as one of the first experimental students. The education in these systems revolved around manual labour, character building and some formal subjects, and Manilal worked at a printing press in Phoenix. Uma Dhupelia-Mesthrie, Manilal’s granddaughter, in her book Gandhi’s Prisoner? The Life of Gandhi’s Son Manilal writes, “Phoenix and Manilal’s life would become intertwined in ways he could hardly imagine”. Therein, he undertook laborious tasks, worked on the land, spent time in the press assisting in the publication process, and tended to the elderly and sick. After Gandhi cleared his barrister examinations, he went on to accept a year-long contract with an Indian-owned firm in South Africa. Gandhi's family who were then in India, joined the lawyer in 1897. It was in 1901 that Gandhi made the decision of returning to his motherland. His family followed. In 1902, the family returned to South Africa, again Following his father’s footsteps? Manila...

By Press Trust of India: Objecting to BJP leaders' remarks "glorifying" Nathuram Godse, the Congress on Saturday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should either throw out such "devotees" of Mahatma Gandhi's assassin from his party or end the "sham" of bowing before Gandhi's statues. The opposition party targeted the prime minister a day after Union minister "Today we challenge Prime Minister Narendra Modi: You have to do one of these - Throw out Godse devotees from your party or end the sham of bowing down before Gandhiji. There is no place for worshippers of Godse in this country of Gandhiji. Modiji, you have to decide," the Congress said in a tweet in Hindi. àäÆàäœàä¹àä®àäªàåàä°àäçàä¾àäèàä®àä‚àääàåàä°àå€ â€âàä…àäªàäèàå€àäªàä¾àä°àåàäŸàå€àä¸àå‡àä—àå‹àäáàä¸àå‡àä­àä•àåàääàå‹àä‚àä•àå‹àäèàä¿àä•àä¾àä²àä¬àä¾àä¹àä°àäëàå‡àä‚àä•àä¿àä â€âàäïàä¾àä—àä¾àä‚àäçàå€àäœàå€àä•àå‡àäÆàä—àå‡àäèàääàä®àä¸àåàääàä•àä¹àå‹àä•àä°àäâàå‹àä‚àä—àä•àä°àäèàä¾àä¬àä‚àäæàä•àå€àäœàä¿àä àä—àä¾àä‚àäçàå€àäœàå€àä•àå‡àä‡àä¸àäæàå‡àä¶àä®àå‡àä‚àä—àå‹àäáàä¸àå‡àä•àå‡àä‰àäªàä¾àä¸àä•àå‹àä‚àä•àå€àä•àå‹àäˆàäœàä—àä¹àäèàä¹àå€àä‚àä¹àåˆ, àä®àå‹àäæàå€àäœàå€àäëàåˆàä¸àä²àä¾â€æ Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh tweeted, "First it is a former CM of Uttarakhand, Trivendra Singh Rawat, who calls Nathuram Godse a patriot.
