🧵 Excerpts from PERVERSION OF INDIA'S POLITICAL PARLANCE (by Sita Ram Goel)
1. The failure which the Mahatma (Gandhi) met vis-a-vis the Muslims was truly of startling proportions. Hindu-Muslim unity was a goal which he had pursued with great dedication throughout his life.

2. He had paid high tributes to Islam, its prophet, its caliphs & its scriptures. He had espoused the cause of Khilafat in order to win Muslim hearts. He had befriended even questionable characters like Mohammad Ali because the latter enjoyed the confidence of Muslim masses.

3. He had gone out of his way to humour Jinnah who was always cold & quite often nasty in his manners. He had ignored the invectives that were hurled at him by the Muslim press and politicians. He had even advised the British to hand over power to Muslims and quit.

4. He had always frowned at all efforts to organise Hindus in order to call the Muslim bluff. In short, his policy towards Muslims had been full of appeasement at the cost of Hindu society. But nothing had helped. Muslims had continued to grow more and more hostile.
