Gandhi on Religion, Cow and Caste — Part I and II
By Justice Markandey Katju
August 12,
I have mentioned in many articles that Gandhi was objectively a British agent, responsible for the partition of India in with all its horrors. The British policy was divide and rule. By constantly injecting religion into politics for over three decades, Gandhi furthered this policy. If we read The Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi, which is a Government of India publication in several volumes, one will see that in almost every article Gandhi wrote and in almost every speech he delivered from about , when he came to India from South Africa, till his death in , he publicly propagated Hindu religious ideas like Ram Raj, cow protection, Varnashrama (caste system), Brahmacharya, etc.
Now, if one were a Sadhu or saint sitting in an ashram (hermitage), one can say anything. But when one enters politics and says such things in public political meetings, what effect will it have on a conservative Muslim mind? Will it not drive Muslims towards an organisation like the Muslim League? And did this not serve the British policy of divide and rule, therefore making Gandhi objectively a British agent?
India is a country with tremendous diversity. Even today, some 18 percent of its population is

Gandhi repeatedly said in the s that ' Hindus must follow their hereditary professions ' and that ' prohibition of intermarriage between people of different varnas was necessary for a rapid evolution of the soul '. In the s he changed his tune and started saying that he was opposed to caste but supported varna and hereditary professions, as if there is a difference between the two.
This hypocrisy was typical of Gandhi. Whenever he found his stupid feudal ideas unacceptable he tried to obfuscate.
Thus in he said in his journal Young India " I am a sanatani Hindu. I believe in varnashram dharma ( caste system ). I believe in protection of the cow "
He also said " I believe that caste has saved Hinduism from disintegration. One of my correspondents suggests that we should abolish the caste system but adopt the class system of Europe, meaning that the idea of hereditary castes should be rejected. I am inclined to think that the law of heredity is an eternal law, and any attempt to alter it must lead to utter confusion.
