"Generations to come, it may well be, will scarce believe that such a man as this one ever in flesh and blood walked upon this Earth.” Albert einstein about gandhi
You can still love the land that gave you birth. There are British as many virtues to being British as there are the negative ones. Stoicism, courage, modesty and humility are British virtues. Live your brief life as an example to others what a good Brit looks like.
I can't. My morals won't let me. I was taught to fight back or fight for those who cannot fight for themselves. I'd take my PSL and S&W Model 59 9x19mm Luger/Parabellum to those guards. I was always taught violence in some cases is the only way.
quite emotional with tears in my eyes, I am proud of my Indian freedom fighters (satyagrahis) who fought and gave independence, it is the most "sacred" independence ever. I salute all the freedom fighters from the bottom of my heart, we the new generation sometimes forget the sacredness of our freedom
The film was a milestone. Mahatma Gandhi was revered figure in India till the release of the film (he still is) but he remained an enigma, a father figure, a national icon. Never like a bro or friend like Azad, bhagat singh or Patel or Nehru. But his portrayl in the film brought his real life story, his traumas in the open for everyone. Generations of 80s, 90s learnt about Gandhi more from this film as compared to our entire text books, film division documentary, govt archives put together.
Ghandi is truly and inspiration to us all. Gave up his freedom and life for truth and well being of humanity. He is a teacher for us all. Thank you! RIP ❤️
Yes my friend,every human being will respond the same way as you have told. But these people were trained by gandhi himself in the strict discipline of satyagrah,which at times takes a lifetime to learn & execute. satyagrah awakens your mind and gives you control over ulterior passions. That is my personal opinion.
This is not the scene of actual Salt Satyagraha by Gandhi. This is Darshana Salt Satyagraha that took place in May 1930 after Gandhi's arrest for his Salt Satyagraha on 6 April 1930. Darshana Salt Satyagraha was led by Sarojini Naidu and Abbas Tayyabji. The journalist was Webb Miller, an American journalist whose report on the event brought international criticism for the British government policy in India.
In regimes that for the most part are not known for blatant, ruthless and merciless state-sponsored crackdowns. Non-violence doesn't and/or won't work a lot of cases like Most recently Libya, Syria, North Korea, probably Saudi Arabia, a lot of African countries More historical examples are Ceausescu's Romania, of all the countries where Soviet-style Communism fell peacefully, Romania was the sole exception. The history of the French, American and Russian revolutions and their various points of when non-violence were no longer options are well-known and well-documented. In some cases, violence is the only way
@@chrismc410 It still works, doesn’t it? If the regime is known for blatant, ruthless and merciless state-sponsored crackdowns, then the threat of them having to kill the the majority of the population is quite a turn-down since the elite just can not run the state alone. If the revolutions Libya or Syria hadn‘t become violent, on the insurgent side maybe/probably because of various Islamic extremists, they could have had a better chance to not fall into the chaos, which they eventually did, or do you think otherwise?
@dioghaltasfoirneartach7258 it didn't with Louis XVI, Nicholas II, Stalin, Hitler, George III, Mao, Nicolae Ceausecu, Pol Pot and Muammar Gaddafi to name a few. Though one John F. Kennedy did say "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." Every one of the aforementioned learned that, good and bad. Some it gave pause, others it encouraged to kill more in the idea of cowering the survivors into submission.
@@chrismc410 The only time it ever worked, was when Mahatma Gandhi managed to defeat, and kick the brits out of india. Also, MLK accomplished a lot with his anti-violence movement. That's about it.
@TheManju47 I suspect I would as well. This is why Gandhi's ways remain both terrifying and beautiful to the point that Einstein worried future generations might not believe Gandhi really existed.
Then you should be proud of them for being able to continue feeling that pain without fighting back. It takes a lot more strength to continue being beaten than to fight back.
Then Gandhi would have been forced to fast once more, for your aggressions? That hardly seems like the wise approach Gandi tried to inspire. The reason why his methods worked as they did. Is because the people of Britain read the newspapers. Take your point of agreement with these parts: "British policeenforcers kill 1000 unarmed protesters" "India's reply to aggressions: Walks camly towards salt factory, no violence administered by the protesters" That was headliness that made stomachs turn
Mathias Wæver One doesn't have to read newspaper to give the stomach a turn. One needs to be having emotions. He should be humane enough to feel the pain of those sathyagrahis. Powerful headlines only increased the intensity.
@@eaglesfan226 Man, your reply just made me think about, how long are these comments gonna get saved? Am I gonna sit at the age of 50 someday, and get replies on something I wrote 22 years ago? I don't really wanna pick up on anything you said. As 8 years has passed, and I don't wanna spoil this moment of thought by replying anything but this to you. Have a good day Paul!
If it was any power except the British or most Western countries except Nazi Germany or certain eastern countries like Imperial Japan or the Soviet Union under Stalin the same people who read said newspapers wouldn't give it a second thought as they and most knew those countries' leaders and governments are known to be extremely brutal and led by extremely ruthless people with no conscience or guilt whatsoever and would expect them to kill 1000 or even 10,000 unarmed protesters and their families without a second thought. Gandhi's nonviolence beliefs would not have worked on the likes of Hitler, Stalin,Tojo or ultimately Hirohito.
Do you remember these soldiers police men.. Who were working for british government... Who are these.. Now you see these... Remember it's repeating now again.. Those are back..

@TheManju47 They didn't ALWAYS refuse it... especially after India became free & Pakistan split off. There were 1000s of violent demonstrations & other acts that took place in defiance of Gandhi's pronouncements. Gandhi's goal was to educate everyone about patience & civil disobedience.
We knowned that some British does such thing for their greed and for their nation which was ignored centuries,no one gived respect to them until they became a colonial superpower just using their emotional drama to Indian Mughal Kings and gifting them presents, fulfilling kings desires,lust and make fake appreciation,prasing of them just for opening few factory the English haved dedication and hard work for their business but their expectations were not ending. greed made them fall eventually sooner in 1947 India became independent not only because violence but cause ina and our freedom revolutionaries serving the holy,sacred motherland died with smile.

The big problem with gandhi Ji is, he always thought that his idea were always correct, that he is the only good man, he didn't respect Hari Lal is son, subash chandra bose, bhagat Singh, Azad
It’s quite hard to tell who did disgrace themselves here more: The Indians for thus losing lordship over India or the Indians by thus driving out the English; for normally countries are to be delivered from foreign oppression by great battle victories like the Scottish one at Bannockburn. But to be driven out of India by protests, hunger strikes and tax boycotts proves that the English were mentally incompetent to rule, for such a thing could never ever happen to imperial folk like the Romans.
@ektrueindian Extraordinary claims demand Extraordinary evidence. Kindly present your sources, so that readers may judge if your assertion is true. If not, then I suggest you refrain from spreading poisonous rumours.
I couldn't stand idly by and allow innocents to be beaten like that. My conscience and morals won't allow it. The PSL and S&W Model 59 9x19mm Luger/Parabellum would be put to very good use. Let's see how lead/steel filled sticks fare against 7.62x54R and 9x19mm Luger/Parabellum. I think those guards would back off after two or three of those guys shot dead. Definitely not in line of Gandhi's beliefs but i was always taught to fight and/or do extreme violence on behalf of myself, family and those who cannot fight for themselves. Lived my life behind it. Not one of those stick guys will have lived if they hit those people in my presence. Any harm to those indians there would have resulted in rounds sent downrange to the guards. Leaders first. After 3 or more them shot dead, they might get the message. There is a time for nonviolence and a time for violence.
MY WIFE...... MAMI.... SAYANG KU AKU MENCINTAIMU..... MAMI.... PRINCESS ALEXIA OF NETHERLAND..... MAHATMA GANDHI.... MAHATMA ERWIN DULMIN GANDHIJI.... .
dear Indian friends you should be proud for this idol of a man! and so should mankind!
Being an Indian I would claim not just India but humanity should be proud of him
"Generations to come, it may well be, will scarce believe that such a man as this one ever in flesh and blood walked upon this Earth.”
Albert einstein about gandhi
And true ... Present generation of Indians are perhaps not able to imagine that such a man as Gandhi walked on this earth.
Who they shot 🤔
And that ladies and gentalmen is how you inspire a people
social consultant “a people” ok sure
Joshan Bath He is actually grammatically correct. When he says “a people” it means a group of people, in this case the Indians
I am British, I just love this film and Gandhi's story. Sometimes, I am not proud to be British.
You know this was a British colony...
Yeah?.....so?
Jesus, imagine what would have happened in a scene like this if Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia were there instead of the halfway decent British.
LichfeldianSuttonian being English and British is a decent thing, something not to be ashamed of.
You can still love the land that gave you birth. There are British as many virtues to being British as there are the negative ones. Stoicism, courage, modesty and humility are British virtues. Live your brief life as an example to others what a good Brit looks like.
I respect Gandhi very much! I hope everyone would follow the non-violence way.
Greetings from Finland.

Gandhi knew the science of Guilt. The WOnder is that he had the power to bear the hits, to create the guilt. Gandhi 's NUclear Missile was GUILT.
quite emotional with tears in my eyes, I am proud of my Indian freedom fighters (satyagrahis) who fought and gave independence, it is the most "sacred" independence ever.
I salute all the freedom fighters from the bottom of my heart, we the new generation sometimes forget the sacredness of our freedom
So, being British it seems I should add this movie to my 'must watch' list.
The film was a milestone. Mahatma Gandhi was revered figure in India till the release of the film (he still is) but he remained an enigma, a father figure, a national icon.

His best part, and performance.

But violence gives the excuse for violence, then the British would have eventually started shooting people. Non violence is a far better technique.

Whatever moral ascendency the West held was lost here today.. India is free..... This gives me gossebumps!
I wonder if there have been any police brutality in Japan since the protest against the dolphin slaughter in Taiji.
You don't understand the power of non-violent opposition then.
Doesn't always work.

That guy at 3:48 got clapped
Then you should be proud of them for being able to continue feeling that pain without fighting back. It takes a lot more strength to continue being beaten than to fight back.
But it's also true that sometimes you have no choice but to fight back
@@chrismc410 Yes, but if the situation allows non-violence, why not?
