In the 1930s and 40s, there were two world leaders who influenced the events in their countries.
Mahatma Gandhi, led India, peacefully against the British and won independence and hope for the 350 million people of India. He tried to bring peace between the Hindus and Muslims who had mischievously been divided by the British so that their departure from India would be delayed.
Of course, seeing the type of leaders we have post independence, he seems to have made a mistake in liberating India.
During the same time, Adolf Hitler was chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945, and served as dictator from 1934 to 1945. His policies precipitated World War II and the Holocaust. Instead of uniting his people he was said to have exterminated more than six million Jews.
There was a third force during India's freedom struggle who collaborated with the British to delay India's independence and did not like Mahatma Gandhi's policy of accommodating the Muslims since they were weaker. Their mentality was very similar to Adolf Hitler.
Ironically, it is this third force which is now ruling India and is following the same policy as Hitler followed in Germany against the Jews.
I just wonder, is India heading towards the same holocaust as Germany.
Time will tell.
