"There are 400 million people in China. If half of them are picked out and given to Japan for killing, they will naturally stop invading if they are tired of cutting them."

In 1940, National Government accepted the invitation from the UK and sent the director of the Examination Institute Dai Jitao to visit India. However, when talking about the war of aggression against China, India's leader, regarded as the "Mahatma", and Mohandas Gandhi, who symbolizes wisdom, actually expressed such an opinion.

Today I will talk to you about why Gandhi said such "anti-intellectual" remarks? And why can his feat be achieved only in India?

When talking about the modern history of India, we have to mention Mohandas Gandhi. In a sense, not only erased the last bit of toughness in the bones of Indians , but also completely shaped the modern Indian character of bullying the weak and afraid of the strong and lazy.

In 1869, Gandhi was born in an Brahmin family in India. As we all know, since the rulers of Aryan occupied India, they have divided the Indians into different levels. Among them, Brahmins have the highest status. They not only do not require labor and tax payments, but also can unscrupulously accept the "maintenance" of the latter three castes.

It is also because of this that Gandhi in his youth was a complete young man. On the one hand, he spent money like soil, and covering his whole body with gold was just a basic operation; on the other hand, Gandhi was extremely obsessed with women. According to the records at that time, He had to bathe with more than a dozen young girls almost every day.

At that time, India was actually very poor under the British colonial rule. However, as a leadership class, Gandhi's indulgence was not only not resisted, but instead received support from countless people at the bottom. This is because in Brahmanism, cultivation is a "sacred" thing, and Gandhi, who has the right to interpret religion, interprets the singing of every night as a means of training the spirit.

As time goes by, Gandhi gradually found that his lifestyle was out of date and he became increasingly yearning for the British lifestyle. So when he was 9, he expressed his desire to go to Imperial University.

However, he was born in a Brahmin family and shouldered religious responsibilities, and accepting modern civilization would inevitably conflict with ancient religions. Because of this, after Gandhi made a request, he was rejected by the family righteously. Faced with this situation, Gandhi was tough and directly cut off his relationship with his family. After cleverly gathered some funds, he went to the UK to study law alone.

Gandhi, who first arrived in the UK, was like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, feeling fresh about everything, which also made him show a strong desire for modern civilization. At the same time, because he received religious baptism since childhood, he had a high understanding of philosophy and thinking. Therefore, in just 5 years, Gandhi obtained a law degree. Not only that, he also integrated the thoughts of philosophers such as Solon into his own theoretical system.

In 1893, Gandhi, who was 224 years old, just graduated, couldn't wait to show his talents. At that time, as a British colony, there were many bloodshed incidents, which made Gandhi see an opportunity. , with the mentality of turning swords into jade, went to South Africa to preach.

Gandhi advised the local people to resist very "advanced". In today's words, it is called "lying flat", . At that time, he named it " non-violent non-cooperation ". Simply put, this method must not express its willingness through fierce resistance, but rather threaten the power through negative methods such as hunger strikes and not working, thereby gaining certain benefits.It is worth noting that the British were really scared by "non-violent non-cooperation". In the remarks of hundreds of thousands of South Africans who claimed to starve themselves to death, the colonists gradually returned the invaded interests to South Africa.

After this battle, Gandhi can be said to have completely become famous. To the people of the British colonies, Gandhi was like a pioneer fighter, and he was happy and began to speak everywhere, and based on the experience of "resistance", combined with some Brahmins, kind and peaceful ideas, he continued to deepen his theory.

In fact, Gandhi's theory can be carried forward, and has a lot to do with a decision he made at the age of 37.

We have talked before, When Gandhi was underage, he turned a blind eye to the joy of the fish and water. In fact, even when he was studying abroad or even when he was teaching lectures everywhere after graduation, he always insisted on "indulging indulgence". However, in 1906, Gandhi, who was studying knowledge and enjoying serving in a luxurious British hotel, suddenly felt overwhelmed because of too much Yuanyang leakage. , he also had a great enlightenment at this point, and said that his spiritual practice has come to an end, and the future will be a complete abstinence practice.

There is also a small episode here. After announcing abstinence, Gandhi reflected his private life to the outside world without reservation. According to the information at that time, in order to exercise himself, Gandhi had to choose a graceful girl to accompany him every time he went to bed, and , and among them, there were even his niece and grand nieces. Perhaps in Gandhi's eyes, he could still control himself in such a situation, which would better reflect his words.

Back to the topic, in a sense, although Gandhi at that time received countless praises in foreign countries, in the eyes of the Indian people, he was just a masterly "playboy". The reason is very simple. On the one hand, Gandhi has been fighting against the UK for more than ten years, and has been patronizing to talk to others, but has not done anything practical for India; On the other hand, the story of Gandhi and the young girls has more or less jealous of the Indian people. In fact, this is also a major reason why he was praised by India after he announced "abstinence".

Time came in 1915, and the 46-year-old Gandhi finally returned to his hometown. However, at this time he was already the master of "non-violent non-cooperation". Less than a month after returning to India, he started to hold lectures. promoted the people of the lower class of India and resisted the exploitation of British colonists by "lying flat".

In 1920, British colonists raised the price of salt, which made the Indian people unable to afford it, and some people made violent protests. At this moment, Gandhi stood up and said that the demonstrations of march are not advisable. He just needs to stand in the British government building without making a sound, and the other party will see his determination to resist.

Since Gandhi had become the "spiritual leader" at this time, even those passionate young people obediently obediently obediently, decided to put down their agricultural tools and other weapons, and use their determination to influence the British. However, neither Gandhi nor the people expected that , and others were fine when they performed " non-violent not resisting", but when they took action, they staged a completely contrary script.

The British are not polite when facing the Indian people who have no desire to resist and do not even wear clothes. At that time, an American journalist named Miller was visiting India. According to his report, the British police were fighting very hard. Not only did tens of thousands of Indians not only did not resist, but they didn't even block them with their arms. is also because of this. With the sound of a wooden stick rupturing against the sky spirit cover, more than 21,000 Indian people were directly beaten to death, and 1,500 people were injured. . Most of the injured people were severely damaged by their heads, so they could not take care of themselves.

Faced with this situation, Gandhi decided to go into battle himself. At first, he took off his clothes and meditated in front of the colonial government building. Because of his high status, the British did not do anything to him. Of course, the UK did not agree to Gandhi's demands, but at this moment, Gandhi played a trick. He began to publicly claim that if Britain did not return the interests to the people, he would not eat and starve to death on the street.

It is worth noting that After Gandhi was so hungry that he was about to exhaust himself, the British actually "submitted". In fact, Gandhi's victory this time not only won back his own interests for the lower class people, but also laid the foreshadowing for India to leave Britain in the future.

After this action, Gandhi officially became the spiritual leader of the Indians and was respected as the Mahatma. In the next twenty years, he also began to constantly use this mentality of "lying down" when encountering difficulties, warning every Indian who wants to resist.

Time came in 1940, when the War of Resistance Against Japan was in full swing. In order to strengthen exchanges, the United Kingdom specially invited Dai Jitao, the Dean of the National Government Examination Institute, to visit India. At the same time, Gandhi was also arranged to meet him. From this point, it can be seen that as an ally, Britain and India still attach great importance to this meeting.

But who knew about the situation of the Anti-Japanese War from Dai Jitao, Gandhi directly stated that China is a country with a population of 400 million. Instead of losing half of its population due to violent resistance, it is better to use the "non-violent non-cooperation" method to let the invaders see the determination of the other half of their population and lose interest.

This remark is indeed amazing. Dai Jitao couldn't figure it out. A person who was respected by Indians and whose status was "Father of the Nation" can be regarded as "the father of the Nation", and his bones are actually softer than the traitor we understand. is also because of this, the meeting did not last long, so Dai Jitao ended the visit in advance.

Compared with Dai Jitao, Chiang Kai-shek's reaction can better reflect his incomprehension of Gandhi. According to the information at that time, after Dai Jitao returned to China to repost Gandhi's remarks, Chiang Kai-shek was so angry that he called Stu Leiden and directly to express his solemn protest. Among them, , which has always been the image of a lady from a noble family, was even so angry that it was repeatedly exposed to the classic three-character national curse.

Let’s return to the initial question, since “non-violent non-cooperation” has been implemented in India very successfully, why did it get such resistance in China?

First of all, although India and China are both called ancient civilizations, their nature is different. For China, even if the rulers of all dynasties are different and the nations may be different, from a cultural perspective, these dynasties are surrounded by the framework of Chinese civilization. In other words, China has always had the final say; In contrast, India was invaded by Aryans thousands of years ago. In order to completely erase the native Indian culture, the Aryan rulers founded Brahmanism, caste system, and other measures , cultivating the deep-rooted slavery of the Indians. This makes the attitudes of both sides show completely different when facing the invaders.

Secondly, the enemies against both sides are also different. For India, since the British colonization, their "initial boss" has changed from feudal landlords to relatively modern British people. However, the purpose of the British to India was not to rule, but to do business. This made them only care about money and have no interest in changing Indian thoughts. Because of this, the UK would hire a large number of Indian workers and even proposed the policy of using Indians to manage Indians.From this perspective, can also be said that India is the "parent of food and clothing" of the UK.

Of course, the reason why Gandhi asked China to "non-violent and non-resistance" was also related to his origin. As a young man of a high caste, he had never seen the lives of ordinary people, and this is exactly the reason why the Indian people listened to him, resulting in more than 1,000 people being beaten to death, but did not touch Gandhi.

For China, Japan's aggression is entirely to plunder resources. Therefore, regardless of whether the Chinese people resist or not, Japan will carry out the same cruel atrocities.

Finally, if we look at it from a modern perspective, it is necessary to succeed in "non-violent non-cooperation" that is, it is a relationship between the two sides and mutual use. We just talked about it. Britain began to decline in the 1930s, and its ruling power was weak. If Gandhi was allowed to starve to death, countless Indians would follow suit, resulting in a large number of factories shutdowns, and Britain would not make a single son. It is precisely because of this that and they allowed India to achieve the effect of "winning in lie down" in the way of "lying flat".

From this perspective, Gandhi's concept of "non-violent non-cooperation" obviously spoiled Indians, making them all develop a lazy and chewy personality now.

It has to be said that although in the eyes of many Western countries, Gandhi has won countless praises for his resistance to "truth, goodness and beauty", and is also called "Mahatma". But as a politician, is obviously over-reputed. didn't even understand the basic situation of the two countries, so he said, "If others are tired of killing, they will stop aggression." It is obviously is very stupid .
