IN RESPONSE TO UTPAL AICH'S ESSAY ON GANDHI WHERE HE HAS COINED THE WORD 'MAHATMAISM'

'Mahatmaism'---nice new word coined. It could be the name of a future religion in Gandhiji's name. 

Sarcastic to a flagrant fault! Lovely exposure of a well-draped cover-up. Indeed, this was his singular successful Satyagraha full of malicious intent, mischievous manoeuvring and Mahatma-like machinations that led to India's eventual Partition, for in evicting Subhas Chandra Bose he had severed the Indian freedom struggle of its right arm of revolution. That Subhas Chandra Bose along with Rash Behari Bose yet achieved so much from alien soil that precipitated freedom is proof of the duo's revolutionary fervour and seemingly superhuman strength. But with the singular success of Gandhi at Tripuri he managed to maim the revolutionary movement at home largely which with British Machiavellian policy armed Muhammad Ali Jinnah to the teeth to carry out the carnage of Hindus that led to Partition post the patriarch's (Gandhi's) precipitation despite solemn vows and pious protestations to the contrary. The rest is history.

And history, indeed, with fabrications and hyper-emphasis on Gandhian non-violence as being the sole cause of freedom, a lie propagated to perfection to a people precipitated with poverty and ignorance that took in whatever was dished out to them. Now the hour of lies is up and history is avenging the injustice that has been heaped on it, albeit slowly but surely. The nation is awaking to the long-suppressed truth of armed revolution as being equally complementary to passive resistance as the cause of the country's freedom. The martyrs to the motherland are being resurrected one by one even as the mockery of calling the assassination day of Gandhiji 'Martyrs' Day' continues, for Gandhiji had been sadly felled by a fellow Indian and not by the alien oppressor, and, so, cannot be hailed as a martyr in strictest terms.

Anyhow, a lighthearted, heavy-themed presentation which has successfully highlighted Gandhiji's seminal singular contribution to the motherland independence. And kudos to you for presenting it in mock-Mahatma terms!
