Gandhi and Jai Chand " two Hindu leaders who had changed the course of Hindu destiny for the worst." Future historians might record the role of Gandhi as more damaging to the Hindus than Jai Chand's. Despite what many apologists of Islam might claim, Islam and Hinduism are two irreconcilable ideologies. Jinnah, once hailed as "best hope of Hindu Muslim unity" soon realized the folly of such an exercise and talked about it in his famous Presidential address to annual Muslim League convention at Lahore in 1940. Jai Chand, might be given the benefit of doubt that when he invited Ghori did not know his true nature. But Mr. Gandhi when he placed all his bets and political career on Hindu Muslims unity had the historical evidence of several centuries and his own personal experience for his guidance. How could he have not known what Islamic scholars from Shah Waliullah and Sir Syed Ahmad Khan thought of the Hindus. Dr. Ambedkar in his study of the issue of partition had clearly spelled the stakes of a united India. At least the sober words of his close friend and "brother" Maulana Mohammad Ali when he said "However pure Gandhi's character might be, from religious point of view, in his eyes, a fallen Muslim is superior to Mr. Gandhi" should have woken Mr. Gandhi from his ego trip. If such was the opinion of an educated Muslim and a close friend, one might well imagine what a Muslim whose sole educational source is the madarasa think of an average Hindu.

I congratulate you, Mr Birju, for daring to call a spade a spade. Not only Hindusim, which is THE MOST inclusive and accomodating faith of all, Islam is a sworn enemy of all faiths, and indeed, human civilisation itself. History bears this out irrefutably - and I don't mean the Nehru-JNU-Thapar propaganda and fairy tales that masquerade as 'history.' You're right that while Jaichand's encounter with this intolerant ideology was absolutely new (and hence a benefit of doubt to the Kannauj ruler), Mohandas Gandhi, though having access to 1,300 years of Islamic savagery and war against humanity, was a charlatan who believed he could hoodwink the massess through his so-called, but absolutely non-existent 'spiritual' powers. He was too busy shielding Islamic terrorists like the Ali brothers and God knows who else, while exhortinh gullible Hindus to be willing sacrificial victims to his criminal credo. The result is there for all Hindus to see. Hindu-Muslim unity, or for that matter, 'unity' of Islam with any other faith, ideology or creed, is just a mirage and a myth. The world can only keep repeating the folly at enormous cost of human blood. Jaganniwas Iyer
