जनवरी १९४८) [[भारत]] तथा [[भारतीय स्वतन्त्रता सङ्ग्राम|भारतीय स्वतन्त्रता आन्दोलन]]का एक प्रमुख राजनीतिक तथा आध्यात्मिक नेता थिए। उनी विश्वका महापुरूषहरू मध्ये गनिन्छन्। बेलायती सरकारको उपनिवेशका रूपमा रहेका [[दक्षिण अफ्रिका|दक्षिण अफ्रीका]]को रङ्गभेद अन्त्य गर्न तथा [[भारत]]लाई स्वतन्त्र गराउन यिनको ठूलो योगदान रहेको थियो। अहिंसावादी नेता महात्मा गान्धीको सम्मानमा उनको जन्मदिवस २ अक्टोबरलाई [[संयुक्त राष्ट्र]]ले विश्व अहिंसा दिवसको रूपमा मनाउने गर्दछ। उनी [[सत्याग्रह]]का अग्रणी नेता थिए जसको अवधारणालाई ''अहिंसात्मक'' आन्दोलन भनिएको छ। उनलाई मानिसहरू '''महात्मा गान्धी'''को नामले चिन्दछन् जुन नाम उनलाई विश्वकवि '''[https://www.hindigurujee.in/durga-chalisa/ साहित्यकार रवीन्द्रनाथ ठाकुरले]''' दिएका थिए। जसको [[संस्कृत|संस्कृत भाषा]]मा [[महात्मा]] अथवा 'महान आत्मा' एक सम्मान सूचक शब्द हो। उनलाई सबैभन्दा पहिले [[रवीन्द्रनाथ ठाकुर]]ले महात्मा भनि सम्वोधित गरेका थिए। महात्मा गान्धीलाई भारतमा ''बापू'' नामले पनि चिनिन्छ [[गुजराती भाषा]]मा (બાપુ) ''बापू'' को अर्थ ''पिता'' हुन्छ। उनलाई सरकारी रूपमा भारतको '''[[राष्ट्रपिता]]'''को सम्मान दिइएको छ र २ अक्टोबरको दिन अथवा उनको जन्म दिनमा भारतमा बिदा दिइन्छ। यो दिन [[गान्धी जयन्ती]]को रूपमा मनाइन्छ र संसारभरी यस दिनलाई [[अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय अहिंसा दिवस]]को रूपमा मनाइन्छ। सन् १९१५ मा भारत फिर्तीपछि उनले किसानहरू, कृषि मजदुरहरू, सहरी श्रमिकहरूलाई अत्यधिक भूमिका र भेदभाव विरूद्ध आवाज उठाउन एकजुट गरेका थिए। सन् १९२१ मा [[भारतीय राष्ट्रिय काङ्ग्रेस]]को बागडोर सम्हालेपछि गान्धीले देशभर गरीबीबाट राहत दिलाउने, महिलाका अधिकारहरूको विस्तार, धार्मिक तथा जातीय एकताको निर्माण, आत्म-निर्भरताको लागि छूवाछूतको अन्त्य आदिको लागि धेरै आन्दोलन चलाएका थिए। गान्धीले बेलायत सरकारद्वारा भारतीयहरू माथि लगाइएको नुन करको विरोधमा सन् १९३० मा [[नुन सत्याग्रह]] र त्यसपछि सन् १९४२ मा [[भारत छोड आन्दोलन]] सुरुवात गरेर भारतीयहरूको नेतृत्व गरी लोकप्रियता प्राप्त गरेका थिए। उनले दक्षिण अफ्रिका र भारतमा विभिन्न समयमा कयौँ वर्षसम्म कारागारमा बस्नुपरेको थियो। गान्धीले सबै परिस्थितिहरूमा [[अहिंसा]] र [[सत्य]]को पालन गरे र सबैलाई यसको पालन गर्नको लागि उत्साहित पनि गरेका थिए। उनले [[साबरमती आश्रम]]को आत्म-निर्भरता आवासीय समुदायमा आफ्नो जीवनको धेरै समय व्यतित गर्दै परम्परागत भारतीय धोती र सूतबाट बनेको गम्छा लगाए जसलाई उनी स्वयंले [[चर्खा]]मा सूत काटेर हातैले बनाएका थिए। == प्रारम्भिक तथा व्यक्तिगत जीवन == [[चित्र:Mohandas K Gandhi, age 7.jpg|right|thumb|बाल्यवस्थामा महात्मा गान्धी (सन् १८८६)]] मोहनदास करमचन्द गान्धीको जन्म [[२ अक्टोबर]] १८६९मा पश्चिमी भारतको वर्तमान [[गुजरात]]मा रहेको [[पोरबन्दर]] नामक एक तटीय सहरमा भएको थियो।<ref>{{cite web|title=विद्रोही किशोरदेखि भारतका राष्ट्रपितासम्म: महात्मा गान्धीको जीवनका प्रमुख सात पक्ष|url=https://www.bbc.com/nepali/news-49888591|website=बीबीसी नेपाली|accessdate=2 अक्टोबर 2020}}</ref> उनका पिता करमचन्द गान्धी [[हिन्दू धर्म]]को मोध समुदायसँग सम्बन्धित थिए र [[ब्रिटिस शासन|अङ्ग्रेजको अधीनस्थ भारतको]] काठियावाडमा एउटा सानो [[रजौटा|रियासत]] [[पोरबन्दर|पोरबन्दर प्रान्त]]का प्रधानमन्त्री थिए। परनामी [[वैश्य|वैष्णव]] हिन्दू समुदायकी उनकी आमा पुतलीबाई करमचन्दकी चौथी स्वास्नी थिइन्। सन् १८८३ मेमा जब उनी १३ वर्षका थिए तब उनको विवाह १४ वर्षकी [[कस्तूरबा गान्धी|कस्तूरबा माखनजी]]सँग भएको थियो। जसको पहिलो नाम छोटकरीमा ''कस्तूरबा'' थियो र उनलाई मानिसहरू प्रेमले ''बा'' भन्थे चिन्दथे। सन् १८८५ गान्धी १५ वर्षको छँदा उनको पहिलो सन्तानको जन्म भएको थियो तर उक्त शिशुको केही दिन भित्रै मृत्यु भएको थियो भने उनको बुबाको पनि सोही वर्ष निधन भएको थियो। मोहनदास र कस्तूरबाको चार छोराहरू थिए। [[हरिलाल गान्धी|हरिलाल]] सन् १८८८ मा जन्मिएका थिए भने सन् १८९२ मा [[मणिलाल गान्धी|मणिलाल]], सन् १८९७ मा [[रामदास गान्धी|रामदास]] र सन् १९०० मा [[देवदास गान्धी|देवदास]] जन्मिएका थिए। गान्धीले पोरबन्दरमा मिडिल र राजकोट माध्यमिक विद्यालयमा अध्ययन गरेका थिए। उनले आफ्नो प्रवेशिका परीक्षा [[भावनगर]], [[गुजरात]]को समलदास कलेजबाट गरे जहाँबाट उनलाई उत्तीर्ण गर्न साह्रै कठिनाई भएको थियो। [[चित्र:Gandhi and Kasturbhai 1902.jpg|thumb|बायाँ महात्मा गान्धी र दायाँ उनकी पत्नी (सन् १९०२ मा)]] ==शिक्षा== आफ्नो १९औँ जन्मदिन आउन एक महिना अगावै ४ सेप्टेम्बर सन् १८८८ मा गान्धीले युनिभर्सिटी कलेज अफ लन्डनमा कानुन सङ्काय पढ्न र [[वकील]] बन्नको लागि [[इङ्ल्यान्ड]], [[लन्डन|लण्डन]] गएका थिए। उनले शाकाहारी समाजको सदस्यता ग्रहण गर्दै उक्त संस्थाको कार्यकारी समितिको लागि चयन पनि भएका थिए। उनले जुन शाकाहारी मानिसहरूसँग भेट गरे त्यसमा केही थियोसोफिकल समाजका सदस्य थिए जसको स्थापना सन् १८७५ मा विश्व बन्धुत्वलाई प्रवल गर्नको लागि गरिएको थियो जसलाई [[बुद्ध धर्म|बौद्ध]] तथा [[हिन्दू धर्म|हिन्दू]] साहित्यको अध्ययनको लागि समर्पित गरिएको थियो। त्यसै संस्थाका सदस्यहरूले गान्धीलाई [[श्रीमद्भगवद गीता]] पढ्नको लागि प्रेरित गरेका थिए। [[हिन्दू धर्म]], [[ईसाई धर्म]], [[बुद्ध धर्म|बौद्ध धर्म]], [[इस्लाम धर्म|इस्लाम]] र अन्य धर्महरूका बारेमा पढ्न सुरुमा गान्धीले विशेष रूची देखाएका थिइनन् । [[इङ्ल्यान्ड]] तथा [[वेल्स]] बार सङ्घको मागमा उनी भारत फर्किए तर [[मुम्बई]]मा वकालत गर्नमा उनलाई खासै सफलता प्राप्त भएन। त्यसै समयमा एउटा उच्च विद्यालय शिक्षकको रूपमा अस्थायी जागीर लागि अस्वीकार गरिएपछि उनले जाहेरीवालाहरूको लागि मुद्दा लेख्नका लागि राजकोटलाई नै आफ्नो स्थल बनाएका थिए। == दक्षिण अफ्रिकामा नागरिक अधिकारहरूको आन्दोलन == [[चित्र:Gandhi South-Africa.jpg|right|thumb|गान्धी [[दक्षिण अफ्रिका]]मा (सन् १८९५)]] दक्षिण अफ्रिकामा बस्दा गान्धीले भारतीयहरू माथि हुने गरेको भेदभावको सामना गर्नुपरेको थियो। उनले आफ्नो यस यात्रामा अन्य कठिनाइहरूको सामना गरे जसमा कतिपय होटलहरू उनको लागि निषेधित गरिएको थियो।{{स्रोत नखुलेको}} यस्ता घटनाहरू गान्धीको जीवनमा एक मोड बने र विद्यमान समाजिक अन्याय प्रति जागरूकताको कारण बने तथा समाजिक सक्रियताको व्याख्या गर्नमा मद्दत गरेको थियो। दक्षिण अफ्रिकामा पहिलो नजरमा नै भारतीयहरू माथि अन्याय देखेर गान्धीले अङ्ग्रेजी साम्राज्यको अन्तर्गत आफ्नो मानिसहरूको सम्मान तथा देशमा स्वयं आफ्नो स्थितिको लागि आवाज उठाएका थिए।{{स्रोत नखुलेको}} == १९०६ को जुलु युद्धमा भूमिका == सन् १९०६ मा [[जुलु]] दक्षिण अफ्रिकामा नयाँ निर्वाचन कर लागु गरिएपछि त्यहाँ दुई अङ्ग्रेज अधिकारीहरूलाई मारिएका थियो जसको फलस्वरूप अङ्ग्रेजले जुलु विरूद्ध युद्ध घोषणा गरेको थियो। गान्धीले भारतीयहरूलाई भर्ती गर्नको लागि बेलायती अधिकारीहरूलाई सक्रिय रूपमा प्रेरित गरेका थिए। २१ जुलाई सन् १९०६ मा गान्धीले [[भारतीय जनमत]]मा लेखे कि २३ भारतीय निवासीहरूको विरूद्ध चलाइएको अपरेशनको सम्बन्धमा प्रयोगद्वारा नेटाल सरकारको भनाइमा एक कोरको गठन गरिएको छ। <ref name=GandhismDotNet>http://www.gandhism.net/sergeantmajorgandhi.php सर्जेन्ट मेजर गान्धी</ref> गान्धीको विचारमा सन् १९०६ को मस्यौदा अध्यादेश भारतीयहरूको स्थितिमा कुनै निवासीको निम्नस्तरको सामान ल्याउने जस्ता थिए। यसकारण उनले [[सत्याग्रह]]को तर्ज माथि काफिर (जातीय कलङ्क)को उदाहरण दिँदै भारतीयहरूबाट अध्यादेशको विरोध गर्नको लागि आग्रह गरेका थिए। == भारतीय स्वतन्त्रता सङ्ग्रामको लागि सङ्घर्ष (सन् १९१६ -१९४५) == === चम्पारण र खेडा === [[चित्र:Gandhi Kheda 1918.jpg|right|thumb|सन् १९१८ मा खेडा र चम्पारण सत्याग्रहको समयमा गान्धी]] सन् १९१५ मा गान्धी दक्षिण अफ्रिकाबाट भारत फर्किएका थिए। उनले [[भारतीय राष्ट्रिय काङ्ग्रेस]]को अधिवेशनहरूमा आफ्नो विचार व्यक्त गरेका थिए। गान्धीको पहिलो ठूलो उपलब्धि सन् १९१८ मा [[चम्पारन]] र ''खेडा सत्याग्रह'' आन्दोलनबाट प्राप्त भएको थियो। यद्यपि आफ्नो निर्वाहको लागि जरूरी खाद्यबालीको अतिरिक्त नालिनी नगद पैसा दिने खाद्यबालीको खेती आन्दोलन पनि महत्त्वपूर्ण रहेको थियो। जमिन्दारहरू (अधिकांश अङ्ग्रेज)को शक्तिबाट दमन भएका भारतीयहरूलाई नाम मात्रको भरपाई भत्ता दिएका थिए जसबाट उनीहरू अत्याधिक गरीबीबाट घेरिँदै गएका थिए। गाउँहरू नराम्रोसँग फोहोर र स्वास्थ्य सम्बन्धि समस्या र रक्सी, [[दलित|अस्पृश्यता]] र पर्दाबाट जकडिएका थिए। गान्धीले त्यहाँ एउटा [[आश्रम]] बनाए जहाँ उनले आफ्नो धेरै समर्थकहरू र नयाँ स्वेच्छिक कार्यकर्ताहरूलाई सङ्गठित गरेका थिए। {{स्रोत नखुलेको}}उनले गाउँहरूमा एउटा विस्तृत अध्ययन र सर्वेक्षण गर्दै प्राणीहरू माथि भएको अत्याचारको भयानक काण्डहरूको लेखाजोखा राखेका थिए। ग्रामीण भेगमा उनले आम जनमानसमा आफूप्रतिको विश्वास जित्दै उनले गाउँहरूको सफाई अभियान आरम्भ गरे जस अन्तर्गत विद्यालय र अस्पताल बनाइयो र उपयुक्त वर्णित धेरै वटा समाजिक खराबीहरू समाप्त गर्नको लागि ग्रामीण नेतृत्वलाई प्रेरित गरेको थियो तर उनलाई अशान्ति फैलाएको भनी प्रहरीले गिरफ्तार गरे र उनलाई उक्त क्षेत्र छोड्नको लागि आदेश जारी गरिएको थियो।{{स्रोत नखुलेको}} कारागार, प्रहरी चौकी तथा अदालतहरू बाहिर सभा तथा जुलुसहरू निकालेर गान्धीलाई बिना शर्त रिहा गर्न उनका समर्थकहरूले माग गरेका थिए। गान्धीले जमीन्दारहरूको विरुद्ध विरोध प्रदर्शन र हडतालहरूकोको नेतृत्व गरे जसले अङ्ग्रेजी सरकारको मार्गदर्शनमा त्यस क्षेत्रको गरीब किसानहरूको धेरै क्षतिपूर्ति स्वीकार गर्न तथा खेती माथि नियन्त्रण, राजस्वमा बढोत्तरीलाई रद्द गर्न तथा यसलाई सङ्ग्रहित गर्न एक सम्झौतामा हस्ताक्षर गरेका थिए। यस सङ्घर्षको क्रममा नै गान्धीलाई जनताले ''बापू'' पिता र ''महात्मा'' (महान आत्मा)को नामले सम्बोधित गरेका थिए। खेडामा सरदार पटेलले अङ्ग्रेजसँग विचार विमर्शको लागि किसानहरूको नेतृत्व गरे जसमा अङ्ग्रेजले राजस्व संग्रहणबाट मुक्ति दिएर सबै कैदीहरूलाई रिहा गरेका थिए। यसको परिणामस्वरूप गान्धीको ख्याति पुरै देश भरमा फैलिएको थियो।{{स्रोत नखुलेको}} == असहयोग आन्दोलन == गान्धीले असहयोग, अहिंसा तथा शान्तिपूर्ण प्रतिकारलाई अङ्ग्रेज विरुद्ध शस्त्रको रूपमा उपयोग गरेका थिए। [[पञ्जाब, भारत|पञ्जाब]]मा अङ्ग्रेजी फौजद्वारा भारतीयहरू माथि [[जलियांवाला बाग नरसंहार]] गरेका कारण देशलाई ठूलो आघात पुगेको थियो। उनले पार्टीको प्रारम्भिक विरोधपछि दङ्गाको भर्त्सना गरेका थिए। [[चित्र:Gandhi home.jpg|thumb|right|[[साबरमती आश्रम]] गुजरातमा गान्धीको घर]] सन् १९२१ डिसेम्बरमा गान्धीलाई [[भारतीय राष्ट्रिय काङ्ग्रेस]]को कार्यकारी अधिकारी नियुक्त गरिएका थिए। उनको नेतृत्वमा काङ्ग्रेसको स्वराजको नाममा एउटा नयाँ उद्देश्यसँग सङ्गठित गरिएको पार्टीमा साङ्केतिक सदस्यता शुल्क भुक्तान गरी सबैको लागि खुला थियो। गान्धीले आफ्नो अहिंसात्मक मञ्चको स्वदेशी आन्दोलनमा सामेल गर्नको लागि विस्तार गरे जसमा विदेशी वस्तुहरू विशेष गरी अङ्ग्रेजी वस्तुहरूको बहिष्कार गर्नु थियो। यसप्रकारको आन्दोलन बाहेक गान्धीजीले बेलायतको शैक्षिक संस्थाहरू तथा अदालतहरूको बहिष्कार र सरकारी नोकरीहरू छोडन तथा सरकारबाट प्राप्त तक्मा र सम्मान फिर्ता गर्न पनि अनुरोध गरेका थिए। असहयोग आन्दोलनलाई त्यस समयमा गजबको सफलता मिल्यो जसबाट समाजको सबै बर्गका जनतामा जोश र सहभागिता बढेको थियो। यो आन्दोलन जुन प्रकार उत्कर्षमा पुग्यो त्यसै प्रकार सन् १९२२ फेब्रुअरीको चोरी-चोरा, [[उत्तर प्रदेश]]मा भयानक कलङ्कको रूपमा अन्त्य भएको थियो। यस आन्दोलनद्वारा हिंसाको स्वरूप लिनसक्ने कुरालाई ध्यानमा राखी गान्धीले व्यापक असहयोग आन्दोलनलाई फिर्ताले लिने घोषणा गरेका थिए। गान्धीमाथि राजद्रोहको मुद्दा चलाएर सन् १९२२ मार्च १० मा गिरफ्तार गरी उनलाई ६ वर्ष कैदको सजाय सुनाएर कारागार पठाइएको थियो। सन् १९२२ मार्च १८ देखि उनले २ वर्ष कारागारमा बिताएका थिए। उनलाई सन् १९२४ फेब्रुअरीमा एपेन्डिसाइटिसको शल्यक्रिया गर्नका लागि रिहा गरिएको थियो। गान्धीको कारण एक भएका भारतीय राष्ट्रिय काङ्ग्रेस उनको दुई वर्षको कारागार बसाइमा दुई दलमा विभाजित भएको थियो। जस मध्ये एक दलको नेतृत्व सदनमा पार्टीको भागीदारीको पक्ष [[चित्तरञ्जन दास]] तथा [[मोतीलाल नेहरू]]ले गरे भने दोस्रो दलको नेतृत्व यसको विपरीत चल्ने [[चक्रवर्ती राजगोपालाचारी]] र [[सरदार वल्लभ भाइ पटेल]]ले गरेका थिए। यस बाहेक हिन्दूहरू र मुसलमानहरू बीच अहिंसा आन्दोलनको चरम सीमामा पुगेको बेला सहयोग टुटिरहेको थियो। उनले सन् १९२४ को बसन्तमा सीमित सफलता दिलाउका लागि तीन हप्ताको उपवास पनि गरेका थिए। == स्वराज र नुन सत्याग्रह (दान्डी मार्च ) == [[चित्र:Gandhi at Dandi 5 April 1930.jpg|thumb|सन् १९३० अप्रिल ५ को अन्त्यमा [[नून सत्याग्रह|दाण्डी मार्च]]मा गान्धी]] गान्धी सक्रिय राजनीतिबाट टाढा नै रहे भने सन् १९२० को अधिकांश अवधिसम्म उनी स्वराज पार्टी र भारतीय राष्ट्रिय काङ्ग्रेसको बीचको असमानता टुङ्गाउन लागिरहेका थिए। उनले पहिले सन् १९२८ मा फर्केको एक वर्ष पहिले अङ्ग्रेजी सरकारले सर जोन साइमनको नेतृत्वमा एउटा नयाँ संवैधानिक सुधार आयोग बनाए जसमा एकजना सदस्य पनि भारतीय थिएनन्। सन् १९२८ डिसेम्बरमा गान्धीले कोलकातामा आयोजित काङ्ग्रेसको अधिवेशनमा एउटा प्रस्ताव राखे जसमा भारतीय साम्राज्यलाई सत्ता प्रदान गर्नको लागि भनिएको थियो। अथवा यस्तो नगरेमा आफ्नो उद्देश्यको रूपमा सम्पूर्ण देशको स्वतन्त्रताको लागि असहयोग आन्दोलनको सामना गर्नको लागि तयार बस्नु भनी भनेका थिए। गान्धीले युवावर्ग [[सुभाषचन्द्र बोस]] तथा [[जवाहरलाल नेहरू]] जस्तै पुरूषहरूद्वारा तत्काल स्वतन्त्रताको माग गर्ने विचार फलिभूत गरेका थिए। सन् १९२८ डिसेम्बर ३१ मा लाहौरमा भारतको झण्डा फहराइएको थियो। १९३० जनवरी २६ को दिन काङ्ग्रेसले लाहौरमा भारतीय स्वतन्त्रता दिवसको रूपमा मनाएको थियो। यो दिन लगभग भारतमा रहेका प्रत्येक भारतीय सङ्गठनहरू द्वारा पनि मनाइएको थियो। यसपछि गान्धीले मार्च १९३० मा नूनमाथि कर लगाएको विरोधमा नयाँ सत्याग्रह चलाए जसलाई १२ मार्चबाट ६ अप्रिलसम्म नून आन्दोलनको सम्झनामा ४०० किलोमीटर (२४८ माइल) सम्मको पदयात्रा अहमदाबादबाट दाण्डी, गुजरातसम्म चलाइयो ताकि स्वयं नून उत्पादन गर्न सकियोस्। समुन्द्रतर्फको यस यात्रामा हजारौँको सङ्ख्यामा भारतीयहरूले भाग लिए। भारतमा अङ्ग्रेजको पकडलाई विचलित गर्ने यो एक सर्वाधिक सफल आन्दोलन थियो जसमा अङ्ग्रेजले ८०,००० भन्दा धेरै मानिसहरूलाई कारागार पठाइएको थियो।<ref>{{cite web|title=तोल्स्तोयको चिठी गान्धीलाई र केसी–सत्याग्रह|url=https://nagariknews.nagariknetwork.com/opinion/155326-1532665320.html|website=नागरिक समाचार|accessdate=2 अक्टोबर 2020}}</ref> लर्ड एडवर्ड इरविनद्वारा प्रतिनिधित्व भएको सरकारले गान्धीजीसँग विचार विमर्श गर्ने निर्णय लिएको थियो। यो [[गान्धी-इरविन सम्झौता|इरविन गान्धीको सन्धि]] सन् १९३१ मार्चमा हस्ताक्षर गरिएको थियो। सविन्य अवज्ञा आन्दोलन बन्द गर्नको लागि बेलायती सरकारले सबै राजनीतिक कैदीहरूलाई रिहा गर्न सहमति दिएको थियो। यस सम्झौताको परिणामस्वरूप गान्धीलाई भारतीय राष्ट्रिय काङ्ग्रेसको एकमात्र प्रतिनिधिको रूपमा लन्डनमा आयोजित हुने गोलमेच सम्मेलनमा भाग लिनको लागि आमन्त्रित गरिएको थियो। यसको अतिरिक्त लार्ड इरविनको उत्तराधिकारी लार्ड विलिङ्गटनले राष्ट्रवादीहरूको आन्दोलनलाई नियन्त्रित गर्ने र मत्थर पार्ने उद्देश्यले एउटा नयाँ अभियान आरम्भ गरेका थिए। गान्धी फेरि गिरफ्तार भए र सरकारले उनका अनुयायीहरूलाई उनीबाट पूर्णतया टाढा राखेर गान्धी जी द्वारा प्रभावित हुनबाट रोक्ने कोसिस गरेका थिए। सन् १९३२ मा दलित नेताको निर्वाचन प्रचार प्रसारको माध्यमबाट बाबासाहेब आम्बेडकर सरकारले दलितहरूलाई एउटा नयाँ संविधान अन्तर्गत अलग निर्वाचन स्वीकार गरेका थिए। यसको विरोधमा गान्धीजीले सन् १९३२ सेप्टेम्बरमा ६ दिनको अनशन बसेका थिए। जसले सरकारलाई दलित क्रिकेट खेलाडीबाट राजनीतिक नेता बनेका पलवङ्कर बालूद्वारा गरिएको मध्यस्ततामा एक समान व्यवस्था अपनाउन बल दिएको थियो। यो नयाँ अभियान दलितहरूले मन पराएका थिएनन् तथापि उनी एक प्रमुख नेता बनिरहेका थिए। [[बाबासाहेब आम्बेडकर|भीमराव अम्बेडकर]]ले गान्धीजीद्वारा गरिएको '''हरिजन''' शब्दको उपयोगको आलोचना गरेका थिए। यसकै फलस्वरूप सन् १९३४ को गर्मी याममा उनको ज्यान लिने उद्देश्यले तीन असफल प्रयास भएका थिए। जब काङ्ग्रेस पार्टी चुनाव लड्ने भयो र सङ्घीय योजना अन्तर्गत सत्ता स्वीकार गर्‍यो तब गान्धीजीले पार्टीको सदस्यताबाट राजिनामा दिने निर्णय लिएका थिए। उनी पार्टीको यस कदमबाट असहमत थिएनन् तर यसो गर्दा अहिलेसम्म कम्युनिष्ट, समाजवादीहरू, व्यापार सङ्घहरू, विद्यार्थीहरू, धार्मिक नेताहरू देखि लिएर व्यापार सङ्घहरू लगायतका जे जति आवाज विद्यमान थिए तिनीहरूको माझ पार्टीको सदश्यता मजबूत गर्नमा सजिलो हुने थियो। गान्धी काङ्ग्रेसको लाहौर अधिवेशनसँगै सन् १९३६ मा भारत फर्किएका थिए। सन् १९३८ मा राष्ट्रपति पदको लागि चुनिएका सुभाष बोससँग गान्धीको मतभेद थियो। बोससँगको मतभेदमा गान्धीको मुख्य विन्दू बोसको लोकतन्त्रमा प्रतिवद्धताको कमी तथा अहिंसामा विश्वासको कमी थियो। बोसले गान्धीजीको आलोचना गरेता पनि दोस्रो पटक जीत प्राप्त गर्न सफल भए तर उनले काङ्ग्रेसलाई त्यस समय परित्याग गरे जब सबै भारतीय नेताहरूले गान्धी <ref>आरगान्धी, ''पटेल : एक जीवन'', पीपी .२७७ - ८१ .</ref> जीद्वारा लागू गरिएका सबै सिद्धान्तहरूको परित्याग गरेका थिए। == दोस्रो विश्व युद्ध र भारत छोड आन्दोलन == [[चित्र:Mahadev Desai and Gandhi 2 1939.jpg|right|thumb|महादेव देसाई सन् १९३९ अप्रिल ७ मा बिरला सदनमा वायसरायबाट प्राप्त भएको एउटा पत्र पढ्दै।]] सन् १९३९ मा जब [[दोस्रो विश्व युद्ध|दोस्रो विश्वयुद्ध]] आरम्भ भयो त्यस बेला नाजी जर्मनीले [[पोल्यान्ड]]माथि सुरूमा आक्रमण गरको थियो। गान्धीले अङ्ग्रेज प्रयासहरूको अहिंसात्मक नैतिक सहयोगको पक्ष लिए तर अर्का काङ्ग्रेसको नेताहरूलाई यस युद्धमा जनताको प्रतिनिधिहरूको परामर्श नलिई एकहोरो रूपमा निर्णय गरेकाले यस निर्णयको विरोध गरेका थिए। काङ्ग्रेसको सबै निर्वाचित सदस्यहरूले सामूहिकरूपमा <ref>आरगान्धी, ''पटेल : एक जीवन'', पीपी .२८३ - ८६ .</ref> आफ्नो पदबाट राजिनामा दिएका थिए। लामो चर्चापछाडि गान्धीले घोषणा गरे कि जब स्वयं भारतको स्वतन्त्रताबाट अस्वीकार गरिएको हुनाले आफ्नो लोकतान्त्रिक स्वतन्त्रताको लागि बाहिरबाट लड्न भारत कुनै पनि युद्धको लागि तयार हुने छैन । जब युद्ध बढ्दै गयो गान्धीजीले स्वतन्त्रताको लागि आफ्नो माग अङ्ग्रेजलाई [[भारत छोड आन्दोलन]] नामक एउटा विधेयक ल्याएर यसलाई तीव्र बनाएका थिए। यो गान्धी तथा काङ्ग्रेस पार्टीको सर्वाधिक स्पष्ट विद्रोह थियो जुन भारतीय सीमा <ref>आरगान्धी, ''पटेल : एक जीवन'', पी.३०९ .</ref> बाट अङ्ग्रेजलाई लखेट्न लक्षित थियो। भारत छोड आन्दोलन सङ्घर्षको एउटा सर्वाधिक शक्तिशाली आन्दोलन बन्यो जति धेरै यसमा व्यापक हिंसा र गिरफ्तारी भएको थियो। <ref>आरगान्धी, ''पटेल : एक जीवन'', पी.३१८ .</ref> प्रहरीको गोलीबाट हजारौँको सङ्ख्यामा स्वतन्त्रता सेनानी मारिए तथा घाइते भए र हजारौँ सेनानीलाई गिरफ्तार गरिएको थियो। गान्धी र उनका समर्थकहरूले भारतलाई स्वतन्त्रता नदिएसम्म लडाईं नछोड्ने स्पष्टता जाहेर गरेका थिए। [[चित्र:gandhi-handwrite.jpg|right|thumb|गान्धीको हस्तलिपि साबरमती आश्रममा]] गान्धीजी र काङ्ग्रेस कार्यकारणी समितिको सबै सदस्यहरूलाई अङ्ग्रेजद्वारा [[मुम्बई]]मा सन् १९४२ अगस्त ९ मा गिरफ्तार गरिएको थियो। गान्धीलाई पुणेको आगा खान प्यालेसमा दुईवर्ष सम्म बन्दी बनाएर राखिएको थियो। गान्धी १८ महिना जेलमा बसेपछि सन् १९४४ फेब्रुअरी २२ मा उनकी श्रीमती कस्तूरबा गान्धीको पनि मृत्यु भएको थियो। यसको ६ हप्तापछि गान्धी पनि महामारी मलेरियाको शिकार हुनु परेको थियो। उनको खराब स्वास्थ्य र आवश्यक उपचारको कारण सन् १९४४ मे ६ मा युद्धको समाप्ति भन्दा पहिले नै उनलाई जेलबाट रिहा गरिएको थियो। यद्यपि भारत छोड आन्दोलनलाई आफ्नो उद्देश्यमा आशिंक सफलता नै प्राप्त भयो तर आन्दोलनको निरङ्कुश दमनले सन् १९४३ को अन्त्यसम्म भारतलाई सङ्गठित गरेको थियो। समयको मागको आधारमा गान्धीले आन्दोलन बन्द गरे जसमा काङ्ग्रेसी नेताहरू सहित लगभग एक लाख राजनीतिक बन्दीहरूलाई रिहा गरिएको थियो। == स्वतन्त्रता र भारतको विभाजन == गान्धीले सन् १९४६ मा काङ्ग्रेसको बेलायती मन्त्रीमण्डल मिसनको प्रस्ताव अस्वीकार गर्ने परामर्श दिए किनभने उनलाई मुस्लिम बाहुलता प्रान्तको लागि प्रस्तावित समूहीकरण प्रति उनको गहन अविश्वास थियो। यद्यपि केही समय गान्धीसँग काङ्ग्रेसद्वारा मतभेदको घटनाबाट यो पनि एउटा घटना बनेको (यद्यपि त्यसका नेत्त्वको कारण होइन) थियो तर नेहरू र पटेल ठान्थे कि यदि काङ्ग्रेस यस योजनाको अनुमोदन गरेन भने सरकारको नियन्त्रण [[अखिल भारतीय मुस्लिम लिग|मुस्लिम लिग]]मा जान्छ। सन् १९४८ को बीच लगभग ५,००० भन्दा पनि धेरै मानिसहरूको हिंसाको क्रममा मारिएका थिए। भारतमा बसोबास गर्ने धेरै हिन्दूहरू तथा सिख र मुस्लिमहरूको भारी बहुमत देशलाई विभाजन गर्ने पक्षमा थियो। यसको अतिरिक्त [[मुहम्मद अली जिन्ना]] मुस्लिम लीगको नेताले [[पञ्जाब, पाकिस्तान|पश्चिम पञ्जाब]], [[सिन्ध]], उत्तर पश्चिम सिमान्त प्रान्त र [[पूर्वी बङ्गाल]]मा व्यापक सहयोगको परिचय दिए। व्यापकस्तरमा फैलिने हिन्दू मुस्लिम लडाईं रोक्नको लागि नै काङ्ग्रेस नेताहरूले विभाजनको यस योजनामा मञ्जुरी दिएका थिए। गान्धीको नजीकका सहयोगीहरूले बिभाजनलाई एक सर्वोत्तम उपायको रूपमा स्वीकार गरे र [[सरदार वल्लभ भाइ पटेल|सरदार पटेल]]ले गान्धीजीलाई सम्झाउने प्रयास पनि गरे कि नागरिक अशान्ति युद्धलाई रोक्ने यही एउटा उपाय हो । गान्धीले वाध्य भई यसमा अनुमति दिएका थिए। उनले उत्तर भारत सँग-सँगै [[बङ्गाल]]मा पनि मुस्लिम र हिन्दू समुदायका नेताहरूबीचको कडा रवैयालाई शान्त गर्नको लागि गहन विचार विमर्श गरेका थिए। सन् १९४७ मा भारत-पाकिस्तान युद्ध पश्चात् पनि उनलाई त्यस समय घचघचाइयो जब सरकारले पाकिस्तानको विभाजन परिषदद्वारा बनाइएको सम्झौता अनुसार ५५ करोड रूपैया नदिने निर्णय गरेको थियो। जब यो माग उठ्न लाग्यो कि सबै मुसलमानहरूलाई पाकिस्तान पठाइयोस् तर मुसलमान र हिन्दू नेताहरूले यस माथि असन्तोष व्यक्त गरे र एक अर्को <ref>आरगान्धी, ''पटेल : एक जीवन'', पी.४६२ .</ref> सँग सम्झौता नगर्ने अडान लिए । यस कार्यले गान्धीजीलाई गहिरो आघात पुगेको थियो। उनले [[नयाँ दिल्ली|दिल्ली]]मा आफ्नो पहिलो आमरण अनशन आरम्भ गरे जसमा सबै साम्प्रदायिक हिंसा तत्काल समाप्त गर्न र पाकिस्तानलाई ५५ करोड रूपैयाँ भुक्तान गर्नको लागि माँग गरेका थिए । <ref>आरगान्धी, ''पटेल : एक जीवन'', पीपी .४६४ - ६६ .</ref> == हत्या == [[चित्र:Gandhis ashes.jpg|thumb|left|[[:en:Raj Ghat and other memorials|राज घाट]] आगा

अदालतमा मुद्दा चलाएर सजाय सुनाइयो तथा सन् १९४९ नोभेम्बर १५ का दिन उनीहरूलाई फाँसी दिइएको थियो। त्यस समय जनमानसमा चर्चा थियो कि जब गान्धीलाई गोली हानियो तब उनको मुखबाट निस्केको अन्तिम शब्द थियो हे राम।

विभाजनको विषयलाई लिएर गान्धीले दोहोरो स्थिति राख्नुलाई यसबाट हिन्दुहरू र मुसलमानहरू दुबै तर्फबाट आलोचनाको बाटो खोलिदिए। मुहम्मद अली जिन्ना तथा समकालीन पाकिस्तानीहरूले गान्धीको मुसलमान राजनीतिक हकलाई कम मानेको भनी आलोचना गरेका थिए। विनायक दामोदर सावरकर र उनका सहयोगीहरूले गान्धीको आलोचना गरे र आरोप लगाए कि उनी राजनीतिक रूपमा मुसलमानहरूलाई मनाउने तर्फ लागे र हिन्दुहरू माथि भइरहेको अत्याचार प्रति उनी लापरवाह बन्दै पाकिस्तान निर्माणको लागि स्वीकृति दिए (गान्धीले सार्वजानिक रूपमा यो घोषणा गरेका थिए कि विभाजन भन्दा पहिले मेरो शरीरलाई दुई भागमामा काटि दिनू । यो आज पनि राजनीतिक रूपबाट बिबादास्पद छ। पाकिस्तानी-अमेरिकी इतिहासकार [[आयशा जलाल]] यो तर्क दिन्छिन् कि विभाजनको कारण गान्धी र काङ्ग्रेस मुस्लिम लीगसँग सत्ता बाँड्न इच्छुक थिएनन्, अरू मुसलमान [[हिन्दू राष्ट्रवादी]] राजनेता [[प्रविण तोगडिया]] पनि गान्धीको यस विषयलाई लिएर नेतृत्वको आलोचना गर्दछन्। र यो पनि इसारा गर्दछन् कि उनको अत्याधिक कमजोरीको कारणले नै भारतको विभाजन भएको थियो। गान्धीले सन् १९३० को अन्त्य-अन्त्यमा विभाजनको लिएर इजरायलको निर्माणको लागि प्यालेस्टाइननको विभाजन प्रति पनि आफ्नो अभिरुचि जनाएका थिए सन् १९३८ अक्टोबर २६ मा उनले हरिजन पत्रिकामा भनेका थिए।: <blockquote>मलाई कतिपय पत्र प्राप्त भएका छन् जसमा मसँग जर्मनीमा यहूदीहरूको उत्पीडन र अरबका यहूदीहरूको बारेमा मेरो विचार के छ भनेर सोधिएको थियो। यस्तो होइन कि यस कठिन प्रश्नमा आफ्नो विचार म बिना झन्झट दिन सक्दछु। मेरो सहानुभूति यहुदीहरूसँग छ। म उनीहरूसँग दक्षिण अफ्रिकाबाट नै नजिकबाट परिचित छु। केही त आफ्नो जीवनभरको लागि मेरो साथी बनेका छन्। यी मित्रहरूद्वारा नै मलाई लामो समयदेखि भइरहेको उत्पीडनको बारेमा जानकारी प्राप्त भयो। उनीहरू माथिको मेरो सहानुभूति मलाई न्यायको आवश्यकताबाट विवेकशून्य गर्दैन। त्यसैले यहूदीहरूको लागि एउटा राष्ट्रको कामनाले मलाई उतिसारो आकर्षित गर्दैन। जसको मन्जुरी बाईबलमा दिइयो र जुन जिद्दीबाट उनीहरू आफ्नो फिर्तीमा प्यालेस्टाइनलाई रुचाउन थालेका छन्। किनभने उनी पृथ्वीका अरू मानिसहरूसँग प्रेम गर्दैनन्, त्यस देशलाई आफ्नो घर बनाउँदैनन् जहाँ उनको जन्म भयो र जहाँ उनले जीविकोपार्जन गरे। प्यालेस्टाइन अरबहरूको हो ठीक उसैगरी जसरी इङगल्याण्ड अङ्ग्रेजको र फ्रान्स फ्रान्सेलीहरूको। यहूदिहरूको अरबहरू माथि अधिरोपित गर्न अनुचित र अमानवीय हो जे जस्तो पनि आज प्यालेस्टाइनमा भइरहेको छ त्यसलाई कुनै पनि आचार संहिताबाट सही साबित गर्न सकिन्न ।</blockquote> === हिंसक प्रतिरोधको अस्वीकृति === जो मानिसहरू हिंसाको माध्यमले स्वतन्त्रता हासिल गर्न चाहन्थे गान्धी तिनको आलोचनाको कारण पनि धेर थोर राजनीतिक आगोको चपेटमा परे [[भगत सिंह]], [[सुखदेव]], [[उधम सिंह]], [[राजगुरु]]लाई सुनाइएको विचारको बिरोध केही दलहरूमा उनको आलोचनाको कारण बन्यो ।<ref>{{cite web|title=भगत सिंह माथि महात्मा गान्धी|url=http://www.kamat.com/mmgandhi/onbhagatsingh.htm|publisher=About.com|accessdate=17 May 2012}}</ref> यस आलोचनाको लागि गान्धीले भने, एउटा यस्तो समय थियो जब मानिसहरू मलाई सुन्ने गर्थे कि अङ्ग्रेजहरूसँग बिना हतियार कसरी लड्न सकिन्छ किन भने त्यतिबेला हतियार थिएनन्। तर अहिले आएर मलाई ज्ञात हुन्छ कि मेरो अहिंसा कुनै कामको छैन किन भने यसबाट हिन्दू-मुसलमानहरूको भिडन्त रोक्न सकिन्न यसकारण आत्मरक्षाको लागि सशस्त्र हुन पर्दछ। उनले आफ्नो बहस कतिपय लेखहरूमा गरे, जसमध्ये होमर ज्याक्सको द गान्धी रीडर: एक श्रोत उनको लेखन र जीवन को पनि एक रहेको छ। सन् १९३८ मा जब पहिलो पटक यहूदीवाद र सेमेटीसम विरोधी लेखियो, गान्धीले सन् १९३० मा भएको जर्मनीमा यहूदिहरू माथि भएको उत्पीडनको [[सत्याग्रह]]को समय बताए कि उनले जर्मनीमा यहूदिहरूद्वारा सहनुपरेका कठिनाइहरूको लागि अहिंसाको तरिकाको प्रयोग गर्नको भनेका थिए। <blockquote>यदि म एक यहुदी हुन्थेँ र जर्मनीमा जन्मेको हुन्थें र आफ्नो जीविकोपार्जन त्यहींबाट गरिरहेको हुन्थें भने जर्मनीलाई नै आफ्नो घर मान्ने थिएँ । यसको वावजूद कि कोइ सभ्य जर्मन मलाई धम्क्याउँछ वा उसले मलाई गोली हान्छ वा कुनै अँध्यारो कारागारमा फ्याँकिदिन्छ। म निकाला र मतभेदी आचरणको अधीनमा हुनबाट अस्विकार गर्नेछु र यसको लागि म यहुदी भाइहरूको प्रतीक्षा गर्दिनँ। उनीहरू आउन् र मेरो वैधानिक प्रतिरोधमा म सँग जोडियुन्, बरू मलाई आत्मविश्वास होला कि अन्तिममा सबै मेरा उदाहरण मान्नको लागि बाध्य हुनेछन् । यहाँ जुन सुझाव दिइएको छ यदि एउटा पनि यहूदी स्वीकार गर्छन् भने उनको स्थिति जुन अहिलेको समयमा छ त्यसभन्दा खराब हुने छैन । र यदि दिइएको पीडा उनी स्वेच्छापूर्वक सहन सक्छन भने त्यसले उनीहरूलाई भित्री शक्ति र आनन्द प्रदान गर्नेछ र हिटलरको सुविचारित हिंसा पनि यहूदिहरूको एउटा साधारण नरसंहारको रूपमा निष्कर्षित हो तथा यो त्यसका अत्याचारहरूको घोषणाको विरुद्ध पहिलो जवाफ हुनेछ । यदि यहूदिहरूको मन मस्तिष्क स्वेच्छापूर्वक पीडा सहनको लागि तयार छ भने मेरो कल्पना बिनासको दिन पनि धन्यवाद ज्ञापन र आनन्दको दिनमा बदलिनेछ।<ref>{{cite web|title=गान्धीको पाठक|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=XpWO-GoOhVEC&pg=PR13&lpg=PR11&dq=The+Gandhi+Reader:+A+Sourcebook+of+His+Life+and+Writings&sig=mu7B1to2ve7qqIYNmXQMd5jifsY}}</ref></blockquote> गान्धीको यी वक्तव्यहरूको कारण प्रसस्त आलोचना भयो जसको जवाफ उनले यहुदीहरू माथि प्रश्न लेखमा दिए साथमा उनका मित्रहरूले यहूदिहरूलाई गरिएको मेरो अपीलको आलोचनामा समाचार पत्रका दुई कटिङ पठाएका थिए। आलोचनाहरूले यो सङ्केत गर्छ जसले यहूदिहरूको बिरूद्ध भएको अन्यायको उपाय भनियो त्यो बिल्कुलै नयाँ थिएन। उनले आलोचनाहरूको उत्तर यहुदी मित्रहरूलाई जवाफ र यहुदी र प्यालेस्टाइन मा दिएका थिए। यहूदिहरूलाई आसन्न आहुतिलाई लिएर गान्धीको बयानले कतिपय आलोचकहरूको आलोचना आकर्षित गरेका थिए। मार्टिन बबर जो स्वयं यहुदी राज्यको एउटा विरोधी थिए उनले गान्धीलाई सन् १९३९ फेब्रुअरी २४ मा एउटा कटु आलोचनात्मक पत्र लेखे। बबरले दृढतासँग भने कि अङ्ग्रेजद्वारा भारतीय मानिसहरूसँग जुन व्यवहार गरिएको थियो त्यही नाजिहरूद्वारा यहूदिहरूसँग गरिएको व्यवहार भन्दा भिन्न छ, यसको अलावा जब भारतीय उत्पीडनको शिकार थिए। त्यस समय गान्धीले केही अवसरमा बलको प्रयोगको समर्थन गरेका थिए। गान्धीले सन् १९३० मा जर्मनीमा यहूदिहरूको उत्पीडनलाई [[सत्याग्रह]] भित्र नै सन्दर्भित हो भनी भनेका थिए । सन् १९३८ नोभेम्बरमा उपरावित यहूदिहरूको नाजी उत्पीडनको लागि उनले अहिंसाको उपाय देखाए : <blockquote>मलाई यस्तो महसुस भयो कि यहूदिहरूको जर्मन उत्पीडन इतिहासमा कुनै सामानान्तर होइन। पुरानो जमानाको तानाशाह कहिल्यै यति पागल थिएनन् जति हिटलर भए र यसलाई उनी धार्मिक उत्साहसँग गर्दछन् कि उनी एक यस्ता अनन्य धर्म र जंगी राष्ट्रको प्रस्तुत गरिरहेका छन् जसको नाममा कोई पनि अमानवीयता मानवीयताको नियम बन्दछ जसलाई अहिले र भविष्यमा पुरस्कृत गरिनेछ । ज्ञात रहोस कि एउटा पागल तर निडर युवाद्वारा गरिएको अपराध सम्पूर्ण जाति माथि अविश्वसनीय उग्रताका साथ छाप छोड्नेछ। यदि कहिल्यै कोई न्यायसंगत युद्ध मानवताको नाममा एउटा पुरा कामको प्रति जर्मनीको बर्बर उत्पीडनको बिरूद्ध युद्धलाई पूर्णरूपबाट उचित भन्न सकिँदो हो । तर म कुनै युद्धमा विश्वास राख्दिनँ। यसलाई युद्धको नाफा-नोक्सानको बारेमा चर्चा मेरो अधिकार क्षेत्रमा छैन । तर जर्मनीद्वारा यहूदिहरू माथि गरिएको यस किसिमको अपराध बिरूद्ध युद्ध गर्न सकिन्न र जर्मनीसँग गठबन्धन पनि गर्न सकिन्न। यो कसरी हुनसक्छ कि एउटा यस्तो देशको बीच गठबन्धन होस् जसबाट न्याय र प्रजातन्त्रको आश गरिन्छ र दोस्रो जसलाई दुबैको शत्रु घोषित गरिएको छ? </blockquote> === दक्षिण अफ्रिकाको प्रारम्भिक लेख === गान्धीको दक्षिण अफ्रिकालाई लिएर सुरुवाती लेख निकै बिबादास्पद छ सन् १९०८ मार्च ७ मा, गान्धीले इन्डियन ओपिनियन पत्रिकामा दक्षिण अफ्रिकामा उनको कारागार जीवनको बारेमा लेखे काफिर शासन नै असभ्य हो - कैदीको रूपमा उनीहरू कष्टदायक, फोहोरी र लगभग पशुहरूको समान समय व्यतित गर्छन्। सन् १९०३ मा आप्रवासको विषयलाई लिएर गान्धीले टिप्पणी गरे कि म मान्दछु कि जति उनी आफ्नो जातिको शुद्धता माथि विश्वास गर्दछन् उति हामी पनि मानौं कि दक्षिण अफ्रिकामा रहेको गोरो जाति छ उनी नै श्रेष्ठ जाति हुनु पर्दछ। दक्षिण अफ्रिकामा बसोबासको क्रममा गान्धीले पटक-पटक भारतीयहरूलाई अश्वेतसँग समाजिक वर्गीकरणलाई लिएर विरोध गरेका थिए। जसको बारेमा उनी वर्णन गर्दछन् कि निसंदेह पूर्णरूपबाट काफिरबाट श्रेष्ठ हुनुहोस्। यो ध्यान दिन योग्य छ कि गान्धीको समयमा काफिरलाई वर्तमानमा प्रयोग भइरहेको अर्थ भन्दा एउटा भिन्न अर्थ थियो। गान्धीका यी कथनले उनलाई केही मानिसहरूद्वारा जातिवादी भएको आरोपको लगाउने मौका दिएको थियो। इतिहासका दुई प्रोफेसर सुरेन्द्र भाना र गुलाम वाहेद जो दक्षिण अफ्रिकाको इतिहासमा जानकारी राख्दछनले आफ्नो मूलग्रन्थ द मेकिङ अफ अ पोलिटिकल रिफोर्मर: गान्धी इन साऊथ अफ्रिका, १८९३ - १९१४ मा यस विवादको जाँच गरेका छन्। (नयाँ दिल्ली:मनोहर,२००५) मा एउटा अध्याय एकको केन्द्रमा गान्धी, औपनिवेशिक स्थितिमा जन्मे अफ्रीकी र भारतीय जो कि श्वेत आधिपत्यमा अफ्रीकी र भारतीय समुदायहरूको सम्बन्धमा छ तथा ती नीतिहरूमा जुनको कारणबाट विभाजन भयो (र उनी तर्क दिन्छन् कि यी समुदाहरूको बीच सङ्घर्ष लाजिमी किसिमको हो) यस सम्बन्धको बारेमा उनी भन्दछन् युवा गान्धी सन् १८९० मा त्यस विभाजीय विचारबाट प्रभावित थिए जो कि त्यस समय प्रबल थियो। साथ साथै उनी यो पनि भन्दछन्, गान्धीको जेलको अनुभवले उनलाई ती मानिसहरूको स्थिति प्रति अरु संवेदनशील बनाइदिएको थियो जसले गान्धी अझ दृढ भएका थिए। उनी अफ्रीकीहरू प्रति आफ्नो अभिव्यक्तिमा पूर्वाग्रह लिएर एकदमै कम निर्णायक भए र वृहत स्तरमा समान कारणको बिन्दुहरू देख्न लागेका थिए। जोहान्सबर्ग जेलमा उनको नकारात्मक दृष्टिकोणमा निरङ्कुश अफ्रीकी कैदी थिए न कि साधारण अफ्रीकी त्यहाँ रहेका थिए। दक्षिण अफ्रिकाको पूर्व राष्ट्रपति नेल्सन मन्डेला गान्धीका अनुयायी हुन्। सन् २००३ मा गान्धीका आलोचकहरूद्वारा प्रतिमाको अनावरण रोक्ने कोशिशको बावजूद उनले उनलाई [[जोहानेसवर्ग]]मा अनावृत गरे। भाना र वाहेदले अनावरण कार्यक्रमको छेउछेउ भएका घटनाहरू माथि द मेकिङ अफ अ पोलिटिकल रिफोर्मार: गान्धी इन साऊथ अफ्रिका, सन् १९१३-१९१४ मा टिप्पणी गरेका थिए उनले यस किताबको अनुभाग दक्षिण अफ्रिकाको लागि गान्धीको विरासतमा लेखेका थिए गान्धीले दक्षिण अफ्रिकाको सक्रिय कार्यकर्ताहरूलाई आगामी पुस्ताहरूमा श्वेत अधिपत्य समाप्त गर्नको लागि प्रेरित गरे। यो विरासत उनलाई [[नेल्सन मन्डेला]]सँग जोड्दछ। जुन काम गान्धीले शुरू गरेका थिए उनलाई मण्डेलाले पूरा गरे।<ref>द मेकिङ अफ

Other wikis will get it 13 June. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T142102] '''Problems''' * The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.30/wmf.2|MediaWiki version]] from two weeks ago was rolled back. It was fixed late last week. Changes that were planned to go out last week did not happen. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T165957] '''Changes this week''' * Wikimedia wikis can show fewer links to articles in other languages. This is to make it easier to find the languages likely to be useful to the reader or editor. Everyone can still click to see the full list. Logged-in users who use the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Language Selector/Compact Language Links|compact language links]] will see languages they have in their [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Babel|Babel box]] on their user page in the first, shorter list. You can turn the compact language list off or on in [[Special:Preferences|your preferences]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T135371] * You can choose what dates to look at when you look at a user's contributions. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120733] * When you click on your watchlist in the mobile view you get a list of all pages in the watchlist instead of the latest changes to them.

See [[mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings|how to join]]. '''Future changes''' * The [[mw:Editor|2006 wikitext editor]] will be removed the week of 27 June. This is the old toolbar with small square blue buttons. You can see [[m:File:Edit toolbar - 2.png|a picture of it]]. 0.03% of active Wikimedia editors use this old tool. They will not see a toolbar at all.

The OCG code has a lot of problems and will stop working. It has to be replaced. An alternative is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:ElectronPdfService|Electron]]. You can [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/PDF Functionality|tell the developers]] what you need the PDF service to be able to do. Electron already works on German Wikipedia.

'''Recent changes''' * When you edit a template with the visual editor it follows the template's <code>format</code> configuration on how to save it.

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T138492][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T135667] * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:TwoColConflict|TwoColConflict]] extension is a new way to solve edit conflicts. It makes it easier to copy and paste the relevant text to the text field. It has been a beta feature for the last five months. You can now [[m:WMDE Technical Wishes/Edit Conflicts/Feedback Round Test Page|try out the new interface]] on a page where you will actually get simulated edit conflicts.

Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2018/02|Translations]] are available. '''Recent changes''' * On Wikidata, the "{{int:wikibase-save}}" button when you edit is now called "{{int:wikibase-publish}}". This means all Wikimedia wikis have now changed from "{{int:savearticle}}" to "{{int:publishchanges}}". This is to help new editors understand what it does. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T161367][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T131132] * Some edits will get an automatic [[Special:Tags|tag]] on all wikis. This will happen when making a page a redirect, blanking a page, removing almost all content, undoing an edit, or rolling back an edit. You can see the tags for example in the recent changes feed, article history, user contributions or on your watchlist. Some wikis had already marked edits like these in other ways. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T167656] * [[Special:UnusedFiles|Special:UnusedFiles]] shows files that have been uploaded but are not used. It will show a file that is not used on the wiki it has been uploaded to, even if the file is used on another wiki. The new [[c:Special:GloballyUnusedFiles|Special:GloballyUnusedFiles page on Commons]] only shows files that are not used on any wiki. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T183673] * [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Structured Discussions|Structured discussions]] now uses the 2017 wikitext editor instead of its old custom one. This will work with your preference for wikitext or visual editor. The documentation [[mw:Help:Structured_Discussions/Quick_tour#basics|has been updated]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T155861][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T178719] '''Problems''' * Older versions of the Chrome web browser on mobile devices may see the PDF download button, but it does not work. The developers are looking into the problem. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T182059] * With the new filters in the recent changes, "{{int:rcfilters-exclude-button-off}}" in "{{int:namespaces}}" did not work for "{{int:rcfilters-quickfilters}}" between 13 December and 2 January. When you loaded the saved filter all other namespaces were excluded instead. This has now been fixed. If you made any changes to your saved filters between 13 December and 2 January, you need to save your filters with excluded namespaces again. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T183910] * The latest version of [[w:en:Google Chrome|Google Chrome]] broke how section links are shown in the address bar. You now see <code>#R%C3%A9sum%C3%A9</code> instead of <code>#Résumé</code> even if MediaWiki did not encode it that way. This happened in early December. This problem has been solved. The fix will be in Chrome 64 (23 January) or Chrome 65 (6 March). [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T152540#3830013] * <span title="Advanced item">[[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=]]</span> Some POST requests to the API took longer than usual in parts of December. This affected the Wikidata UI and some gadgets the most. It has now been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T182322] '''Changes later this week''' * Wikidata will be moved to its own database [[w:en:Server (computing)|servers]]. This is because it is growing and needs more resources. Because of this '''you will be able to read but not edit''' Wikidata and the German Wikipedia between 06:00 and 06:30 [[w:en:Coordinated Universal Time|UTC]] on 9 January. You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. This includes editing the language links on other wikis. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T181645] * The font size in the editing window will change slightly for some users. It will now look the same on all browsers and operating systems. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T182320][https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Editing/Projects/Font_size_in_the_editing_window] * <span title="Recurrent item">[[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=]]</span> The [[mw:MediaWiki 1.31/wmf.16|new version]] of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 January.

This includes administrators and other user groups. They can't use passwords that are in a list of common passwords. Accounts with common passwords are easy to take over. The list of common passwords was made longer a few weeks ago and has a different error message. Some user groups have been added to those who can't use common passwords. This is to protect all accounts with user rights that could cause damage.

For example it adds the tracking category <code>{{int:cx-unreviewed-translation-category}}</code> to translations that might have used machine translations without fixing the problems.

Previously this was 200 pages. '''Problems''' * When a template was edited with the visual editor, it would sometimes put all information on one line. This makes it difficult to read for editors who use the wikitext editor. It also makes it more difficult to see what happened in a diff. This problem affected edits made between 8 and 17 January and is now fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T213922] * [[m:Special:MyLanguage/MassMessage|MassMessage]] is used to post a message to many pages. It has not been working reliably.

The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication. We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices. We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives. We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help. '''We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups.''' You can help by hosting a discussion at your wiki. Here's what to do: # First, [[mw:Talk pages consultation 2019/Participant group sign-up|sign up your group here.]] # Next, create a page (or a section on a Village pump, or an e-mail thread – whatever is natural for your group) to collect information from other people in your group. This is not a vote or decision-making discussion: we are just collecting feedback. # Then ask people what they think about communication processes. We want to hear stories and other information about how people communicate with each other on and off wiki. Please consider asking these five questions: ## When you want to discuss a topic with your community, what tools work for you, and what problems block you? ## What about talk pages works for newcomers, and what blocks them? ## What do others struggle with in your community about talk pages? ## What do you wish you could do on talk pages, but can't due to the technical limitations? ## What are the important aspects of a "wiki discussion"? # Finally, please go to [[mw:Talk:Talk pages consultation 2019|Talk pages consultation 2019 on Mediawiki.org]] and report what you learned from your group. Please include links if the discussion is available to the public. '''You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other.''' Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us [[mw:Talk pages consultation 2019/Tools in use|how your group communicates]]. You can read more about [[mw:Talk pages consultation 2019|the overall process]] on mediawiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can [[mw:Talk:Talk pages consultation 2019|leave feedback about the consultation process]] in the language you prefer. Thank you!

'''Tech News''' * Because of the [[w:en:Christmas and holiday season|holidays]] the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 11 January 2021. '''Recent changes''' * The <code><nowiki>{{citation needed}}</nowiki></code> template shows when a statement in a Wikipedia article needs a source.

'''Future changes''' * You can [[m:WMDE Technical Wishes/Geoinformation/Ideas|propose and discuss]] what technical improvements should be done for geographic information. This could be coordinates, maps or other related things. * Some wikis use [[mw:Writing systems/LanguageConverter|LanguageConverter]] to switch between writing systems or variants of a language. This can only be done for the entire page. There will be a <code><nowiki><langconvert></nowiki></code> tag that can convert a piece of text on a page. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T263082] * Oversighters and stewards can hide entries in [[Special:AbuseLog|Special:AbuseLog]]. They can soon hide multiple entries at once using checkboxes.

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T269761] * Admins can use the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:AbuseFilter|abuse filter tool]] to automatically prevent bad edits. Three changes happened last week: ** The filter editing interface now shows syntax errors while you type. This is similar to JavaScript pages. It also shows a warning for regular expressions that match the empty string. New warnings will be added later. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T187686] ** [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Meta:Oversighters|Oversighters]] can now hide multiple filter log entries at once using checkboxes on [[Special:AbuseLog]].

Features will be available for newcomers starting on 20 September 2021. * MediaWiki had a feature that would highlight local links to short articles in a different style. Each user could pick the size at which "stubs" would be highlighted. This feature was very bad for performance, and following a consultation, has been removed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T284917] * A technical change was made to the MonoBook skin to allow for easier maintenance and upkeep. This has resulted in some minor changes to HTML that make MonoBook's HTML consistent with other skins.

'''Tech News''' * Because of the [[w:en:Christmas and holiday season|holidays]] the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 7 January 2019. '''Recent changes''' * Some templates that show notices about the content of the page will now be shown on the mobile website. In many cases they were hidden before. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Web/Projects/Mobile_Page_Issues][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T210553] * Admins can no longer unblock themselves, except for self-blocks. A blocked admin can block the user who blocked them but no one else. This is so no one can block all admins on a wiki without being stopped. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T150826] * [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:ParserMigration|ParserMigration extension]] has been removed. It compared the result of two versions of the MediaWiki wikitext parsing pipeline. It was used when we moved to the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/RemexHtml|Remex parsing library]] instead of [[mw:Parsing/Replacing Tidy|Tidy]]. '''Problems''' * <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code> tags can use parameters such as "name" or "group". For example <code><nowiki><ref name="adams" group="books"></nowiki></code>. If a <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code> tag has more than two parameters all parameters are ignored. You don't get a warning that they don't work. This will soon be fixed.

It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 December. It will be on all wikis from 20 December ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.33/Roadmap|calendar]]).

See [[mw:Technical Advice IRC Meeting|how to join]]. '''Future changes''' * The Wikimedia Foundation [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps|Android app team]] are working on making it easier to edit on mobile phones. You can [[mw:Android editing features|read more]] about these plans. If you have an Android phone and speak at least two languages you can help testing in English. Tell [[:m:User:Dchen (WMF)|Dchen (WMF)]] you want to be part of the testing by writing on her talk page or email her. * [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] <code>tiles.wmflabs.org</code> and <code>wma.wmflabs.org</code> will stop working. They have no maintainers and run an old operating system. Tools which use it could stop working. This includes [[:w:en:Mapnik|the mapnik gadget]], hill shading, and hike and bike layers.

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T90208][https://wikimediafoundation.org/2019/01/09/you-can-now-use-google-translate-to-translate-articles-on-wikipedia/] * You can now add [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:File captions|captions]] to files on Commons. Captions are short descriptions of the file. They can be translated to all languages we use. They can't use wikitext markup. * Earlier a [[:w:en:Attribute (computing)|quoted HTML attribute]] had to be followed by a space. Now it doesn't. This means that some pages could look different when you save them even if you didn't edit that part of the text. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Uqhg1it7nojfnjfg][https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/commit/59bb8864a23f3df120789c7619ef07acefa27b9c] * [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] Templates with [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:TemplateStyles|<nowiki><templatestyles></nowiki>]] could not show the difference between the live template and the [[w:en:Sandbox (software development)|sandbox]] version when they were tested.

You can use it for selectors like <code dir="ltr">.mw-parser-output <nowiki><wrapper parameter value> <selector from CSS page></nowiki></code>. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T200441] '''Problems''' * When you see an edit in the recent changes feed or in the history of a page some of them have [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Tags|tags]]. Some tags are added automatically. You can also add tags manually. Tags for edits that have been added manually can be edited. This didn't work for a little while. This has now been fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T212703] '''Changes later this week''' *You can move files from your wiki to Wikimedia Commons and keep the file history with the new [[m:WMDE Technical Wishes/Move files to Commons|FileExporter]]. It will be a [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Beta Features|beta feature]] on all wikis from 16 January. If you want to test it you [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|activate it]] and check [[m:WMDE Technical Wishes/Move files to Commons/Configuration file documentation|your wiki's configuration file]]. * Users who could cause more damage to the wikis if someone took over their account have to have more secure passwords. This includes administrators and other user groups. They can't use passwords that are in a list of common passwords. Accounts with common passwords are easy to take over. The list of common passwords was made longer a few weeks ago and has a different error message. Some user groups have been added to those who can't use common passwords. This is to protect all accounts with user rights that could cause damage. [https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/operations/mediawiki-config/+/481115/] * [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|Advanced item]] The [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:AbuseFilter|AbuseFilter]] variable <code>minor_edit</code> has been removed. It was deprecated in 2016. Now you can't use it. You can fix the filters using it.

'''Tech News''' * Some people did not get last week's issue of Tech News. This was because of a problem with [[m:Special:MyLanguage/MassMessage|MassMessage]]. If you did not get last week's issue, you can [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2019/03|read it on Meta]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T213942] '''Recent changes''' * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Content translation|content translation tool]] can now use [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Content translation/V2|version 2]] as the default version for users who turned on the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Beta Features|beta feature]]. For example it adds the tracking category <code>{{int:cx-unreviewed-translation-category}}</code> to translations that might have used machine translations without fixing the problems. This is so others can find them. You can find this category in <code>Special:TrackingCategories</code> on Wikipedias. * [https://mediawiki2latex-large.wmflabs.org https://mediawiki2latex-large.wmflabs.org] can now convert collects of up to 800 pages to [[:w:en:PDF|PDF]], [[:w:en:EPUB|EPUB]] or [[:w:en:OpenDocument|ODT]]. Previously this was 200 pages. '''Problems''' * When a template was edited with the visual editor, it would sometimes put all information on one line. This makes it difficult to read for editors who use the wikitext editor. It also makes it more difficult to see what happened in a diff. This problem affected edits made between 8 and 17 January and is now fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T213922] * [[m:Special:MyLanguage/MassMessage|MassMessage]] is used to post a message to many pages. It has not been working reliably. Some messages have not been posted to everyone. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T213942][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T139380] * Because of a database problem that had to be fixed immediately you could not edit most wikis for a couple of minutes on 17 January (UTC). This has now been fixed.

The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication. We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices. We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives. We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help. '''We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups.''' You can help by hosting a discussion at your wiki. Here's what to do: # First, [[mw:Talk pages consultation 2019/Participant group sign-up|sign up your group here.]] # Next, create a page (or a section on a Village pump, or an e-mail thread – whatever is natural for your group) to collect information from other people in your group. This is not a vote or decision-making discussion: we are just collecting feedback. # Then ask people what they think about communication processes. We want to hear stories and other information about how people communicate with each other on and off wiki. Please consider asking these five questions: ## When you want to discuss a topic with your community, what tools work for you, and what problems block you? ## What about talk pages works for newcomers, and what blocks them? ## What do others struggle with in your community about talk pages? ## What do you wish you could do on talk pages, but can't due to the technical limitations? ## What are the important aspects of a "wiki discussion"? # Finally, please go to [[mw:Talk:Talk pages consultation 2019|Talk pages consultation 2019 on Mediawiki.org]] and report what you learned from your group. Please include links if the discussion is available to the public. '''You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other.''' Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us [[mw:Talk pages consultation 2019/Tools in use|how your group communicates]]. You can read more about [[mw:Talk pages consultation 2019|the overall process]] on mediawiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can [[mw:Talk:Talk pages consultation 2019|leave feedback about the consultation process]] in the language you prefer. Thank you!

'''Problems''' * All queries to the [[mw:Wikidata Query Service|Wikidata Query Service]] failed between 17:50 and 17:59 UTC on Thursday 23 July. Some queries failed during a longer period. [https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incident_documentation/20200723-wdqs-outage] * Interlanguage links were ordered incorrectly for the past few weeks. This problem was also mentioned in [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2020/30|Tech News two weeks ago]]. The problem is now fixed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T257625] * There is a problem with the [[Special:GlobalPreferences#mw-prefsection-rendering|global preferences]] for the "{{int:prefs-vector-enable-vector-1-label}}" option.

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T258493] * A bug in the Wikibase extension had disabled the "move" and "create" types of protection in the main (Gallery) namespace on Wikimedia Commons.
