Umno needs a "Gandhiji Restoration"

I disagree with the idea of a Meiji Restoration for any political party. I think it should be a 'gandhiji' revolution the least. Gandhi taught us so much about meeting the needs of the poor and abolishing the caste and class system.

Gandhi taught the world to meet basic needs first rather than our greed. The nationalism of a Gandhiji Restoration will be about the reconstruction of capitalism, militarism, and racism as the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would propose. Dr. King was greatly inspired by American transcendentalists such as Henry David Thoreau and Henry Wodsworth Longfellow. Dr. King was inspired by Gandhi as well.

So, a Gandhiji Restoration must all Malaysian political parties undergo, not a Meiji Restoration. Anything less than this will be a cliche of the postindustrial tribalistic world.

Gandhiji?

Becoz of him, India is split between Nehru The British Lover & Netaji -- the True Militant Freedom Fighter of India -- from Bangla may I add who fired the flame for Freedom against the Kolonialis all across Asia, including Nusantara!

Alas, many plantation Indians and Bengali jagas whose datok nanak in Malaya took up arms against their British Masters who had enslaved them -- depriving them of land that the Favoured Chinese got -- have ALL forgotten his name..

Nataji = SUBHAS CHANDRA BOSE

Respected Leader, Philosopher, Nationalist, Revolutionar, Commander of Free India Army, Hero of Peasants was said to have died in plane crash over Taiwan in August 1945.


Yes, the Brits, despite being Dickheads, did get India for FREE


Thank who? I won't blame it all on decendants of Ranjit Singh, Maharajah of Lahore, for giving away his horsemen & Koh i Noor, the largest diamond in the world that all Hindus believe Krishna himself stole from the Sun God's South Indian Chosen One.
