We have always been the victims of twisted history. Some dubious historians have altered our past for personal advantage, leaving even the descendants of those people who were part of that history with no choice but to accept such cock and bull stories as fact.

Let's talk about a man who worked as a soldier for the British, & when he arrived in India, he began lecturing Indians to attain peace & face the Britishers' atrocities. He was none other than M.K Gandhi, who is also known as Mahatma, which is an irony to the title Mahatma
2
On April 8, 1929, Shaheed Bhagat Singh threw two bombs inside Central Legislative Assembly. After that, he became a national hero, but M.K. couldn't get over the idea that a young man was giving traumatized Indians fresh hope and a legitimate way to fight.
3
M.K. was a staunch opponent of Bhagat Singh & his associates. M.K. said in Young India that people who throw bombs for the sake of independence are actually damaging the independence itself. It is obvious that Bhagat Singh was insufferable in M.K.'s eyes from the start
4
After the assassination of ASP J Saunders, Bhagat Singh's popularity skyrocketed. His speech in court was published in the Congress Bulletin, which enraged M.K., & he wrote a letter to his Nehru chastising him for publishing Bhagat Singh's content in the Congress Bulletin
5
He wrote in the letter that publishing Bhagat Singh's statement is exceedingly unjustifiable, that writing about Bhagat Singh's fasting in the Bulletin is pointless, and that even if it is useful, it is like using a hammer to kill a fly.
6
Nehru was terrified and sent a letter in which he apologized. It was the time when Bhagat Singh and his friends were fasting in jail and one of Bhagat Singh's friends Jatin Das, died as a result of the fasting and British abuses. But M.K. was unaffected by any of this.
7
The death of heroic Jatin Das was not even mentioned in Young India Newspaper in relation to M.K.'s behavior. Many people were upset, including our dear Netaji. Netaji wrote about the same in his book 'The Indian Struggle'.
8
“The tragic death of Jatin Das rocked the entire nation, but M.K. remained unaffected, which is why there was no mention of Jatin Das in the newspaper Young India. When one of M.K.'s friends asked him about it,
9
M.K. replied he did it on purpose since he didn't want to comment on anything which could offend the Britishers”. When Bhagat Singh was charged in the Central Hall Bombing case and sentenced to death, there was only one person who could overturn the decision: Viceroy Irwin.
10
The Gandhi-Irwin Pact was to be held on 18 Feb 1931. On the issue of Bhagat Singh Irwin’s letter states that M.K. reluctantly talked about the issue and was for POSTPONING the commutation.
11
The entire nation expected M.K. to request that Irwin commute Bhagat Singh and his friends' sentences, but instead of doing so, M.K. requested that they be postponed. In one of his notes in the book 'Sampurn Gandhi Vangmaya Vol 45’, M.K. writes
12
That he asked Irwin if they want the crisis to be neutralized, they should postpone Bhagat Singh's commutation, he also adds that while Bhagat Singh is brave, he is not psychologically stable.
13
So the sentencing date was set for March 24, 1931, but he was sentenced a day earlier. M.K. had a meeting in Karachi on the 26th, thus he sought to postpone the sentencing.
A close aide of M.K Pattabhi Sitaramayya talks in his book 'History of INC' Vol 1 about M.K’s decision.
14
M.K. insisted to the viceroy that the punishment takes place before the Karachi gathering. He initially requested that the punishment be postponed, but later decided it should occur sooner. In addition, M.K. misled the viceroy when he claimed in a letter dated March 23, 1931,
15
that Bhagat Singh's other allies had promised to stop their activities until Bhagat Singh's commutation. In a sense, he advocated for the British to use blackmail against Bhagat Singh's associates. Unbelievable that M.K. received such a promise from Bhagat Singh's associates.
16
Following Bhagat Singh's execution, the British and M.K. infuriated the entire nation, and people demanded that M.K. renounce the agreement. Netaji too took a similar stance, In his book "The Indian Struggle", Netaji wrote, He asked M.K. to revert from the pact
17
however, M.K. refused to change his mind about the pact because he didn't want to show the world that he supports the revolutionaries. When M.K. traveled to Karachi on March 25 for a meeting, there was a huge protest against him.
18
Realizing that he needed to do something to quell the wrath, he proposed a resolution against the British. In his letter to Dorcy Lindsey, he acknowledged that it was just a deception before the public.
19
This was M.K. Gandhi, who opposed Indians who opposed accepting the atrocities committed by the British yet supported revolutionary leaders outside of India. He is currently being proposed as MAHATMA by paid historians.
