Mahatma Gandhi

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Gujaratice મોહનદાસ કરમચંદ ગાંધી, Devanagari मोहनदास करमचंद गांधी), Mahatma ('Magnanimus') et Bapu ('Pater') emeritus appellatus (natus Porbandar in oppido Gujaratensi die 2 Octobris 1869; necatus Dellii Novii die 30 Ianuarii 1948), fuit causarum actor Indicus, diurnarius, asceta, pacifista.

Gandhi fuit dux politicus ac spiritalis motus saeculi 20 Indiae libertatem ac maiestatem appetentis, quas anno 1947 Britanniarum Regno sine violentia resistendo, magistratibus non oboediendo et "ieiunio usque ad mortem" ad verum perduxit Britannicamque super Indiam dominationem finivit.

Iam antea in Africa Australi contra apartheid et pro Indorum paritate contenderat.

Gandhi affectus conscientiamque adversariorum suo habitu satyagrahae (quae est "adhaesio ad veritatem") et ahimsae (quae est "non-violentia" una cum patientia laborum) tangere studuit, quam vi potentiorem duxit. Ita se animos eorum allecturum speravit. Iura humana sic dictorum "Intactilium" (Dalit) et mulierum poposcit, reconciliationem Hinduorum et Musulmanorum temptavit, direptionem colonialisticam respuens ad novum systema oeconomicum annisus est, quae liberum esset et vita rusticorum signatum.

Nomina honesta

Mahatma

Nomen honestum Sanscriticum Mahatma (महात्मा "anima magna") a philosopho Indico et Praemio Nobeliano Litterarum laureato Rabindranath Tagore repetere putatur, qui Gandhi die 9 Ianuarii 1915 ex Africa Australi in Mumbai urbem advenientem ita salutavit. Gandhi hoc cognomen diu moleste ferebat, quod se invito in usum venit, cum omnem sui cultum abnueret. In libro, quem de vita sua scripsit, titulum Mahatma sibi non solum sine honore, sed etiam magno dolori fuisse.^[1] Tamen postea nomen, quod hodie originali longe notius est, probavit et, ut ei par fieret, studuit.

Bapu

Aliud nomen honestum in India usitatum, quod libenter ferebat quoque eum etiam uxor et amici allocuti sunt, fuit Bapu (Gujaratice: બાપુ "pater"). Postea in titulum "pater civitatis" amplificatus est, quod nomen regimen Indicum publice agnovit.

Vita

Pueritia ac adulescentia

Natus est Gandhi die 2 Octobris anno 1869 Porbandar in urbe Gujaratensi in India Britannica, quae tunc pars Imperii Britannici erat. Familia ad tribum pertinebat, quod commercium exercere solebat. Avus paterque eius autem consiliarii sive primi ministri (divan) munere in civitate Porbandar fungebantur, quae specie quidem autonoma, re vera autem Britanniarum Regno subiecta erat.

Post scholam elementarem, Gandhi studia superiora in Rajkot frequentavit, quo pater muneris primi ministri causa se contulerat.

Anno 1881 duodecim annos natus Gandhi, ut tum mos erat, Kastürbā Gāndhi coaetaneam in matrimonium duxit. Postea pluries "crudelem nuptiarum minorum usum" condemnavit.^[2] Maritis quattuor filii erant.

Septendecim annos natus, tribus mensibus mortis patris post, Londinii iit, ut ibi in Collegio Universitatis ius disceret. Gens sive genus, cum praecepta Induistica in Anglia observari pro impossibili poneret, se itineri opposuerat, sed frustra, quare Gandhi a generis principe extra genus esse condemnatus est. Londinii se quodam modo moribus Anglicis accomodat, vestibus occidentalibus induitur, more "gentleman" vivere studuit.

Duobus diebus post quam examina iurisprudentiae superavit, Angliam die 12 Iunii 1891 reliquit Indiam reversurus. In Mumbai ex navi egrediens de matris morte certior factus est. Fratre adiutore in genus denuo acceptus causidicus laborare coepit. Cum autem imprimis scientias theoricas haberet neque ius Indicum bene novisset, praeterea coram publico loqui veritus sit, post sex menses ob reditus insufficientes coepto abstinuit.

Gandhi in Africa Australi (1893-1914)

Deinde Gandhi in Rajkot urbem revertit, ut apud fratrem suum, qui etiam fuit causarum actor, laboraret. Duobus annis post societas Indica Dada Abdullah & C., quae mercaturas in Natal fecit, ei ut causam in Africa Australi defenderet negotium dedit. Gandhi illa aetate erat homo dulcis, timidus, nequaquam salutis publicae studiosus, gravis in tribunali.

In Africa Australi cum apartheid (segregationem generum), tum despectionem ac miserabiles vitae conditiones Indorum, quorum ibi 150 000 servorum instar vivebant, cognovit. Quo viso animum permutare coepit. Varia dicta memoratu digna hanc mutationem demonstrant: cum quondam in aliquo tribunali Durbanensi magistratus eum capitis tegumen (turbanum) deponere iussisset, Gandhi recusans e tribunali expulsus est. Alio tempore in Pietermaritzburg ex hamaxosticho missus est, quoniam ex vehiculo primae classis in alium tertiae ire iussus abnuit, quod tesseram primae validam haberet. Deinde ubi gestationem raedae facere voluit, praefectus primo, ut in raeda una cum aliis vectoribus Europaeis sederet, vetuit, deinde eum pulsavit, quod in podio stare denegavit.^[3]

Talibus casibus commotus Gandhi, quae sit sua ipsius in societate positio populique Indici in Britanniarum Regno status, quaerere coepit. Tandem ei persuasum erat sibi contra iniurias ab Indis acceptas pugnandum esse: numerosas litteras querulas publicavit, Praetoriae concilium omnium Indorum convocavit, ubi primam orationem publicam habuit, petitionis verba concepit.

Gandhi etiam negotio peracto in Africa Australi permanebat, ut Indos in lege avertenda adiuvaret, qua eorum ius suffragii tolleretur. Gandhi libellum ad Joseph Chamberlin, coloniae Britannicae praefectum, misit rogans, ut legem retraheret.^[4] Quamvis non potens legis prohibendae, tamen Indorum querelis audientiam fecit. Natal Indian Congress (conventum Indorum Natalensem) anno 1894 condere adiuvit,^[5], qua organizatione communitas Indica Africae Australis in vim politicam unitam crevit. Mense Ianuario 1897, cum Gandhi in Durban nave exiit, a turba colonorum coloris albi petitus non nisi auxilio uxoris principis vigilum effugit. Tamen omni accusatione destitit, id a principiis suis abhorrere declarans. ^[6].

Gandhi intentionem in Indos vertit; erga indigenas Africae initio simili benevolentia non erat; saepius iniuriis ab Europaeis acceptis autem omnem segregationis formam repudiavisse videtur.

Cum anno 1906 Britannici Zulu regno in Natal sito bellum intulerunt,Gandhi Britannicos ut Indos conscriberent hortatus est,^[7] arbitratus id rei Indicae utilitatem allaturum. Re vera viginti Indi Gandhi duce per duos menses vulneratis opem tulerunt. Potentia exercitus Britannici visa Gandhi cognovit Britanniarum Regno se non nisi nonviolentia et puro corde resistere posse.^[8]

Propugnatio Indiae liberandae (1915-1947)

Anno 1915 Gandhi in omnem vitam in Indiam rediit, fama se rem Indicam ratione ac usu maxime adiuvisse notissimus. Conventui Indorum gentilicio (Indian National Congress) adiunctus praecipue a Gopal Krishna Gokhale factionis principe ad res Indiae agendas ac populum Indicum cognoscendum introductus est. Gandhi liberales eius viri sententias, qui temperantia modestiaque intra systema laborandum esse affirmavit, secutus eas in speciem plane Indicam commutavit.^[9]

Gandhi anno 1920 dux factionis factus plus plusque postulare coepit, donec die 26 Ianuarii 1930 Conventus Indorum gentilicius Indiae libertatem declaravit. Anno 1930 primo et die 4 Ianuarii 1932 iterum propugnator libertatis Indiae a Britannis incarceratus et duos annos sine iudicio retentus est. Cum libertas a Britannis agnita non sit, plures disceptationes secutae sunt, tamen variis in provinciis Conventus administrationi interfuit.

Ubi Vicerex anno 1939 nullis consultis Germaniae bellum indixit, Gandhi factioque eius regimini auxilium detraxit. Contentiones crescebant, donec Gandhi anno 1942 libertatem sine mora poposcit; Britanni eum cum multis milibus factionis ducum in carcerem coniecerunt. Contra Liga Musulmanorum cum Britannis cooperata civitatem plene Islamicam, quod Gandhi fortiter impugnavit, appetevit. Mense Augusto anno 1947, cum colonia in libertatem missa est, duae civitates liberae, India et Pakistania, natae sunt, Gandhi invito.^[10]

Dellii Novi die 30 Ianuarii 1948 Gandhi a quodam Nathuram Godse necatus est. Exemplum pacis et pietatis fuit, qui multis admirationi erat.
