Earth 2050 and non-violence

I am sorry guys(esp to those of the earth 2050 club)...I had nothing to post.SO am putting the post i put in my earth 2050 community blog here....

But , when my pal mentioned about the Ten biggest ideas of the world....The ten biggest things of the philosophical world would surely include NON-VIOLENCE. Now, this is one concpet which boils me. Does any one know the idea behind being non-violent? It is to stop and avoid BLOOD,GORE, and of course VIOLENCE all together.But, who was the creator of NON-VIOLENCE??? The most violent, arrogant, frustrating Gandhi. He surely wasnt using non-violence to curb violence.He was using it as a weapon to get india free. And killed so many so many people who believed him like god and showed their head to the british cannons without protesting. (Including Gotse's family).

Now, the bottom line: i know people with raised eye-brows telling me " But the britishers werent right".... All right! If gandhi was a man who believed in PEACE he must have tried convincing the britishers by talking to them.Not BY frustrating and irritating a tiger(Th british) and make them Kill more and make them blood thristy. Okey! If only gandhi had solved all the issues with non-violence VERY GUD! India becmae INDIA AND PAKISTAN. Family man Gotse became familyless Murderer Gotse........

I am not criticisng Gandhi here...I am just telling u Non-Violence ( as a weapon) is not a solution for EARTH 2050....Non-violence must be preached TO EVERY ONE(EVERY ONE in this earth)...and not used by one community to frustrate another community.....

AMEN

I am not a big fan of Gandhi Myself and his non-violence. I thought he was forced to mask our helplessness with non-violence. Thinking about it, we were not match to the cannon's of the british. What did we have ...Bows and arrows...! Rather than use them Gandhi thought let's call it 'non-violence'.

It won't work IMHO.

Pardon me all those who love Gandhi and non-violence, if it hurts to read what I just wrote.!

There are a lot of controversies surrounding Mahatma Gandhi. I know a lot of people who feel the same way as you do. For me, I don't know how I feel. I respect his dedication and hard work in devoting his life to the freedom struggle. But after I heard about some stuff, it kind of put me off of him for a bit.
