The Story of the Kingdom of the West - Remembrance of a country that has disappeared into history

1. Around the 2nd century A.D., a nomadic people named Tangut, a Tibetan river tribe who worshiped the heavenly gods and worshiped white color, began to live in the Qinghai region of China.

Then, in the 7th century, a prominent hero named Song Chan-Gampo appeared on the nearby Tibetan plateau, united the divided tribes in 633, established Toban, Tibet's first unified kingdom in Lhasa, followed by the invasion of Qinghai Castle in 66380.

On the other hand, the Tangut people, who lived as residents of Toyokhon at the time, left Cheonghaeseong Fortress, which had been in conflict with Tibet, and moved to the eastern part of Gamsukseong Fortress, the Hwangto Plateau, all of Minji, and the northern part of Seomseoseong for 300 years.

Then, in 875, a bull uprising broke out in Tang Dynasty, and Takbalsagong, a tribal leader of Tangut, made a great contribution to suppressing the rebels, and was appointed as a thief of the royal family Lee clan and succeeded to rule the northern part of Seomseoseong and the southwestern part of Naemongo.

Subsequently, the Tangut people took advantage of the late Tang Dynasty and the chaotic period of the Five Kingdoms to transform them into independent forces, and in 960, Song Dynasty succeeded Tang Dynasty to become a unified empire, but Lee Gye-cheon, the ninth-generation grandson of Takbalsagong, did not recognize Song Dynasty.

However, unlike his father, his son, Lee Deok-myeong, who succeeded Lee Gye-cheon, cultivated his skills by obeying him on the outside and striving to unify the tribe on the inside, laying the foundation for the independence dynasty.

Lee Won-ho, the son who succeeded Lee Deok-myeong, not only showed extraordinary appearance in appearance and appearance from an early age, but also showed great talent in both political and military aspects.

After completing all the preparations as above, Lee Won-ho finally opened "Daeha" in 1038 and ascended to the throne. The capital was decided as what is now Euncheon. Song Dynasty called it "Seoha" because the prawn is located in the west of the territory.


2. The Song Dynasty's King Injong did not recognize the founding of the West River and started to subdue the West, but the Western Army defeated the army four times in a row in Samcheon-gu in 1040, Hosucheon in 1041, and Jeongcheon-chae in 1042, followed by a strong campaign.

As a result, the Song Dynasty, the Lia Dynasty, and the West River were divided into three parts.

The West was more than five times larger than the Korean Peninsula. The territory reached the border of Naemongo Baotou to the east, Okmungwan of Gamsukseong Fortress to the west, Lanju to the south, and China and Mongolia to the north.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic, Western Xiao imitated the control of the People's Republic of China, but gradually improved the independent system.

The government posts were largely divided into three classes: civil and military officers: sergeant, sergeant, and sergeant. Local administrative organizations established four divisions, eleven states, seven counties, six prefectures, and eight groups to facilitate imperial rule.

The economy actively absorbed the agricultural culture of the Han people based on the nomadic culture of the Tangut people. Above all, by taking full advantage of the geographical advantages located in the middle of X and Western regions, commerce developed and national power strengthened by monopolizing the Silk Road transit trade route.

Through this, the West enjoyed its heyday, maintaining a brilliant independent civilization for 200 years from the founding emperor Lee Won-ho to the last emperor Lee Hyun.


3. However, such prosperity of the West began to end with the destruction of the country, as Genghis Khan invaded the West in 1206 and the oppressed West pledged allegiance to Genghis Khan.

When Genghis Khan, who conquered the Golden Kingdom, asked the West to attack the Kingdom of Hores in 1216, the West flatly refused.

Angry Genghis Khan led a large army to invade Western China the following year, but fortunately, reconciliation negotiations were held and Western Japan was saved from danger.

However, in 1226, Genghis Khan himself led the Mongolian great army to break the western sky, and died while fighting. Genghis Khan drew his breath and said, "Delete the West and leave nothing behind. Let him perish and kill him."

In 1227, the following year, Emperor Yi Hyeon finally surrendered to surrender due to the terrifying invasion of Mongolia, but Mongolia broke the precedent of saving the surrender king of the enemy country and brutally killed Yi Hyeon, and the people of Western Europe completely slaughtered.

Later, historians wrote that the castle was burned down, residents were killed at random, white bones were scattered all over the place, and thousands of miles were devastated.

Eventually, the West was completely destroyed and slaughtered by Genghis Khan's army, and the Tangutians fled and hid in various places, leaving no country, of course, to reappear in history, and only in historical records.


4. Generation and extinction are instinct inherent in all beings, said Sigmund Freud, a great psychoanalytic of the 20th century.

Until now, people have thought that creation is good and extinction is bad, but two instincts are the inevitable fate of existence, not the object of good or bad judgment.

If what is once alive does not come true, for example, if humans are immortal, it is extremely unfortunate in itself.

This is because the existence of eternal immortality, which no longer occurs, exists in the past, present, or future as it is, but there is no change, so it is boring and leads to a loss of meaning within the species, and furthermore, it hinders the entire existence.

Therefore, generation is necessary on the contrary, and in some cases, it is much greater, majestic, and leaves a lot to talk about in future generations.


Seoha, who ruled an area for more than 200 years and survived by forming a unique culture and then extinguished by dramatic events, posts this article in the sense of commemorating the nation from the perspective of creation and extinction.

Unfortunate independence activists Jeon Myung-woon and Jang In-hwan

 Jeon Myung-woon (1884-1947) immigrated to Hawaii in 1905, worked on a farm for a year, and then moved to San Francisco in 1906. He became a member of the Public Association, an independent anti-Japanese organization, while serving as a worker at railroad construction sites and Alaska fishing grounds. In 1908, pro-Japanese group American D.W. Stevens, an external adviser to the Korean government, returned home on vacation and decided to kill him after making remarks praising Japan's invasion of Korea at a press conference. While Stevens was taking advantage of the opportunity to get off at Oakland Station with a Japanese consul in San Francisco, hitting him with a ball of iron and fighting, Jang In-hwan, who was waiting for the same purpose, shot Stevens and seriously injured him. Jang In-hwan was arrested as an accomplice, but was acquitted and released. That year, he went to Vladivostok, Russia, to continue his independence movement, and then to San Francisco again in 1909. He lived in Los Angeles since 1930 and died in 1947 after a miserable life. In 1962, the Presidential Medal of the Order of Merit for National Foundation was awarded. 


Jang In-hwan [1876.3.10-1930.5.22] was born in Pyongyang on March 10, 1876. He loses his parents when he was young and gives up his studies and becomes a Christian. He moved to Maui in 1905 as a Hawaiian immigrant, then went to the United States the following year to work as a railroad worker and an Alaskan fisherman, and joined the Daedong National Assembly. In March 1908, when D.W. Stevens, an external adviser to the Korean government, returned home on vacation and volunteered to hold a press conference to justify and support Japan's invasion of Korea, he decided to kill him. Stephens tried to take advantage of the opportunity to get off at Oakland Station with a consul in San Francisco, but when he saw Jeon Myung-woon, a Korean bloodthirsty young man, first attacked and fought with a ball of iron, he shot Stephens with a pistol and killed him two days later. As a result of the trial, he was sentenced to 25 years in prison, but he was released after 10 years for patriotism and polite behavior. In 1927, he returned to Korea with the welcome of Cho Man-sik and others, married 51-year-old Yun Chi-bok, and returned to the United States to do laundry, but committed suicide after suffering from illness in San Francisco. In 1962, the Presidential Medal of the Order of Merit for National Foundation was awarded.

In a jolly mood... ...is he really an American? Are you Mexican?

 Answer: Mexican. But the stage is California. The memoir is the number of American generals entering Mexico City, the capital of Mexico. What happened was... ...a righteous, cheerful group who fought corrupt officials in Mexican California in the early 19th century... ...this story. Of course, I'm the main character of the novel. It can also be said that Mexico was a Spanish colony before independence in the 1820s. Right after independence. Until the 1840s when the United States took over. So the protagonist of the Hollywood movie "The Mask of Zoro" is the Spanish actor Antonio Vanderas... ...though the teacher's real Zoro is Anthony Hopkins. The war of 1848 deprived the United States of a vast area of soil called Texas, New Mexico, and California. Later in World War II, the Japanese fascists invaded Mexico... ...so we invaded China... ...but it was a little weakly owned by this vast indian in the southwestern part of the United States. It was not until the 18th century that the Spanish annexed the land based in Mexico, and the British, French, and Russian (Alaska) entered North America to defend Mexico. During the Napoleon War in 1812, when the French were starving to death on Russian soil, the Russian border guards were starving to death on the west coast of the United States, so the poor Spaniards gave me food. It's a terrible Western country... ...and it's going to the end of the world. We met each other people. However, Young Burles, which occupied North America at that time, was almost a zero-ra Indian land except for its coastal base. Spain only drew a large border to the north to defend Mexico. Spain gave up Mexico in the 1820s. A huge Mexican empire emerged, but it was taken away by the United States more than 20 years later. Can you really call that Mexican land? Half and half... ...Actually, the real owner Indians are the next way to America. The following article was published. I didn't know the U.S. military attacked the Mexican capital at that time. The glory and humiliation of the new nations. After seeing this, French emperor Napoleon III, who underestimated Mexico, invaded Mexico in the 185s and 1960s, but only the fake Mexican king from Austria, who was put forward for nothing, was executed by the Mexicans and expelled. Hehehe... ...Mexico is a half-white country, no way. ===================================================The U.S.-Mexican War (1846-1848) Throughout the 1820s, Americans settled in the vast Texas region, often receiving land from the Mexican government. However, the rapidly increasing number of settlers made Mexican authorities wary, and in 1830, further migration was banned. In 1834, General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna (1794-1876) established a dictatorship, and the following year, American residents of Texas rebelled. Santa Anna defeated the Americans in the famous Battle of the Alamo in March 1836, but American residents under the command of Sam Houston (1793-1863) defeated the Mexican army in the Battle of San Jacinto a month later and captured Santa Anna. For nearly a decade, Texas remained an independent republic, becoming the 28th state of the United States in 1845.    Santa Anna Sam Houston Zachary Taylor (12th President) Mexico cut ties with the United States over Texas becoming a U.S. state, but the most controversial issue was the boundary between Texas and Mexico, while Mexico claimed that the border was far north of the Nues River. Meanwhile, settlers flocked to New Mexico and California at a time when many Americans claimed that the United States had a "Manifest Destiny" extending westward to the Pacific Ocean. The U.S. attempt to buy New Mexico and California failed, but the U.S. declared war in 1846 after Mexican and U.S. forces clashed along the Rio Grande. The U.S. military occupied New Mexico, and settlers in California supported the war against Mexico. U.S. forces led by Zachary Taylor (1784-1850) invaded Mexico and won Monterrey and Buena Vista, but failed to bring Mexico to the negotiating table. In March 1847, U.S. forces led by Winfield Scott (1786-1866) landed near Veracruz on the east coast of Mexico and entered Mexico City after a series of fierce battles. Nevertheless, the United States was only able to negotiate the "Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo" with Mexico after Santa Anna resigned, which gave the southwest region and California (3.1 million square kilometers) for $15 million (Gadsden Pursuit, 1853) to the United States. This war caused political division, with the Whig Party (the predecessor of the Republican Party, founded in 1854) criticizing the Democratic Party (Democratic Party, 1792), for pursuing expansionism. With the conclusion of the Civil War and the Mexican War, the United States gained several states, including Arizona, Nevada, California, and Utah, as well as vast territories covering parts of New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming. However, this was also the acquisition of territory that worsened the domestic situation, as it triggered the American Civil War (1861-1865) by raising the most explosive question in American politics at the time: whether the new territories became slave states or free states.

Westerners Testify Joseon's Living Standards

 How did Westerners see the standard of living reflecting various conditions such as the natural environment, ethnicity, educational enthusiasm, and industrial conditions? Some pointed out that all citizens except the privileged are in an amazing level of poverty, but Westerners generally agreed that the lives of Koreans are stable. What drew attention as an impressive sight of the relative stability of life was that there were few poor people like beggars. This was commonly pointed out by Westerners with extensive Joseon experience, including Mrs. Carls, Gale, McKinsey, and Mrs. Underwood. According to Gale, there were no beggars in Joseon, and the only places where beggars were located were around foreign settlements. Mrs. Underwood says that compared to the poorest in London and New York, there is no one in Seoul who is naked or hungry. According to McKinsey's observation while traveling in Chungcheong Province after the righteous army, the lives of rural people were more bereaved than those of Seoul. While the people of Seoul were lazy, rural farmers were diligent and faithful, so there is no problem in cultivating their own land and making a living unless there is a famine. In his view, the living conditions of Koreans outside of Seoul were better than those of British people outside London. To borrow Carls' expression, "People were poor, but they didn't seem to be in need at all." The stability of life is said to be seen in the practice of being stingy and favorable to hospitality. In Joseon, it is said that hospitality is considered a sacred duty of everyone. Whether you know it or not, it is not only a shame to refuse to feed those who come at dinner, but it is also considered a great mistake, and it also provides bed for travelers who come at night. Therefore, it is said that a person who is not suspicious can travel from end to end of the Korean Peninsula while being treated kindly without any money. The stability of life was found to be the stability of order. Bishop read Joseon's public sentiment from his experience of staying in a small alley in Gaesong. She seemed so moved by the fact that she was able to lie with her arms stretched out without anxiety in a room with no doors locked and no locks on it was a fragile woman alone. Order was maintained not only in the city but also in the countryside. According to a Russian military officer, he was staying in a very remote village with no government office, but order has never been destroyed anywhere. Peace and tranquility dominated everywhere. <<The Korean Pavilion of Westerners in the late 19th century and early 20th century>> Jeong Yeon-tae (an associate professor of humanities at Catholic University) ;; read and upload the article by Haet. I guess the people were starving like North Korea these days at the end of the Joseon Dynasty. Although Joseon's commerce and industry are lagging behind, the overall standard of living of the people is said to be good. Although Joseon later collapsed due to the power politics, it managed to endure 500 years because it did not starve the people at least.

Misconceptions about Joseon.

 1. Joseon is poor? According to data on the eating habits of Koreans seen by Western missionaries, Joseon is by no means impossible to live.Agricultural productivity was good and meat intake was very good.It is often because farmland was destroyed and exploited by Sedo politics, Japanese raiders, the Korean War, and the so-called "I couldn't eat and live in the past," not simply because I couldn't live in the past.In other words, it can be said that the old people's words "we used to be cold and hungry" came from ignorance of the previous era.To be exact, "We were cold and hungry in our time." Of course, some of the haters say that Joseon became poorer than Goryeo and Silla due to Joseon's commercial and industrial values, but that can be said without knowing the contradictions between capitalism and commercial society and the life of the Joseon Dynasty.A commercial society is basically in favor of capitalists.Their power and wealth make it harder for the common people to live, and the government has reduced tax revenues and fallen into various corruption and collusion between politics and business.Representative examples include Song, the primitive period, and the Industrial Revolution period in England.On the other hand, agriculture and livestock, which are primary industries, are less biased toward wealth and can satisfy basic needs, although their own economic efficiency is low. Let's take an example.Starbucks sells a cup of coffee for about three dollars.But in fact, less than 40 cents a pound goes to coffee tenants.For example, in the earlier era, Parthia, Persia, Saracen, Osman, etc. made huge profits by relaying spices and silk, and in Europe, they had to come up with breakthrough measures such as producing their own silk or pioneering new routes.As such, the contradictions between capitalism and commercial society were already fully experienced in the Goryeo Dynasty, and the countermeasure was to refrain from commerce and cultivate industries necessary for life, such as agriculture. As a result, the legislation regulated luxury and luxury such as building size, and emphasized frugality and simplicity rather than luxury in terms of thought.In order to rescue the common people, they also worked hard to improve the lives of the common people by lending grain (although it was later ruined) and operating Hyeminwon. In this way, these policies became successful in the early Joseon Dynasty.Due to securing agricultural land and the development of agricultural technology, agricultural production per unit and total agricultural area increased, which had a profound effect on improving the quality of life of farmers.In short, Joseon was faithful to meeting the basic needs, which can be said to be the basis of the national economy and the common people's economy, and it was agriculture. 


2. Is Joseon an unequal society? It's one of the things that many people are mistaken about.Obviously, there was a status system in Joseon, and there was a gender classification.But if you look closely at this, it can be called formal equality.Joseon's status system and gender distinction are justifiable in terms of justification, but they do not mean direct disadvantagesAs mentioned above, the gender-discriminatory thinking and the importance of the elderly are not really related to the ideals of Joseon. Looking at the status system of Joseon, this status system was divided into heaven and sheep, and the rest of the status system had legal equal rights except for heaven.In addition, he was interested in butcher lanterns, which are equivalent to the people of heaven, and gave the butcher a name called Pyeongryanggat, which guarantees that the butcher is a human being and has the same rights as other people.Of course, later on, this Pyeongyanggat becomes a tool for reverse discrimination, but the initial intention was to help butts.In addition, with legal protection, whether natural or benign, no matter how high a person is, he or she could not do anything to bully the people below him, and in that case, he or she could be attacked by public opinion and subject to impeachment. To add one more thing here, unlike in movies and dramas, Joseon was strong in checks on kingship, so there were three companies to check kingship, and if the three companies opposed, even kings could not do anything recklessly.Due to these checks and strong legislation, Joseon has a kind of constitutional monarchy.Of course, it cannot be said that it is the same as it is now, but there are only a few countries that show such advanced political systems throughout the Middle Ages.The officials also worked diligently for a small salary.From then on, until the evils of Sedo politics appeared. The gender distinction was also more about protecting women and respecting each other than discriminating against women.In the case of noblemen, men and women used honorifics to each other.In Japan, men are treated poorly and women are treated respectfully.In addition, property inheritance was also not discriminated against men and women in the previous life, and women's private property was guaranteed.In other words, the significance of gender distinction was that it was intended to prevent some kind of disturbance of sexual life (although it's not necessarily bad), to respect each other, to protect the weak, etc., and certainly went back without difficulty in the early Joseon Dynasty. However, the problem is that the above-mentioned "formal discrimination" has been deteriorated due to confusion in values and fluctuations in the status system since the Imjin War and the collapse of the title.As the upper and lower levels gradually diminished, the establishment felt a kind of loss and dissatisfaction as formal discrimination and distinction, which were a means of self-satisfaction and reward, led to the strengthening of the justification theory.While emphasizing the justification aspect, they put more emphasis on discrimination and distinction than on the biography, which is particularly noticeable in relationships between men and women. In summary, Joseon's gender division, upper and lower divisions, and status were formal and belonged to the most equal axis compared to other countries.It can be said that it was the most equal of civilized countries.Of course, due to the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, the collapse of the name, and the agitation of the Shinbunje system, Joseon lost its grasp and flowed into the justification theory, but it was not to the extent that it was serious.On the contrary, it was during the Japanese colonial period that had the greatest negative impact. 


3.Is Joseon Weak in Military Power? One of the reasons for disparaging Joseon's military power is that the only major war Joseon fought was defeat.The Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, the Manchu Invasion of Korea, and there were no major wars.But this has to be looked at in two ways.It is the relationship and ideological aspect with neighboring countries. The first is neighboring countries.It is a geographical feature of China to the west, nomadic people to the north, and Japan to the south.Of course, this is not a disadvantage.They were far from China, and nomads were interested in China, and why they were not considered enemies.However, this is at a disadvantage.Why, over the past few hundred years, has shown a much lower standard of living and civilization, and even my part of it has happened.The nomads were small, and even if they were united, it was clear that they would attack China if it was not particularly enemy-like, and although China was the biggest problem, the Ming Dynasty established at that time was busy fighting Bukwon, and had to be moderately coaxed. As a result, China will naturally help in the event of a war, and nomads need to be moderately coaxed so that they don't get together and don't be a big enemy, and Japan just needs to stop pirates in moderation.However, Japan, trained by civil war, invaded peace-soaked Joseon, suffered a heavy blow in the early stages by shoveling such as small-scale Won Gyun, and later failed to coax Qing and suffered a heavy blow.In other words, as the situation of neighboring countries changed rapidly, Joseon also had to change the system quickly, but unfortunately, it failed to do so, which eventually leads to the collapse of the system and ideas. The second theory is the ideological aspect.War was basically a waste of a lot of goods and lives, which might be advantageous for the ruling class, but was not happy for the common people.Typically, in the case of Rome, after the Punic War, the viscounts collapsed and wealth was concentrated on the aristocracy, resulting in a serious gap between the rich and the poor, which is a major social problem.Rather, the conquest war is damaging to their own people.Therefore, rather than establishing a large-scale force for the conquest war and a subsequent system, Joseon focuses on the diplomatic aspect of defending the enemy forces and receiving help from China (although of course, self-defense is of paramount importance).In other words, Joseon thought that the optimal form of military power was to the extent that it was optimal for defense but did not hurt the finances of the common people, and that Mozzar's military power could be solved with the help of China. In conclusion, the weak military power of Joseon was only in the consequential aspect, and the purpose and policy itself were very good.However, bad luck and lack of flexibility resulted in Joseon's policy being failed and foolish. 


4. Most of the complaints about Joseon come from the perception of misinformation - powerless, unequal, and poor.Of course, depending on the view of the above contents, it can be said that - after the middle of the year, it became pathetic, but at least this is what I want you to know, Joseon aimed for an ideal society and adjusted it to reality, but eventually failed due to internal/external factors. That's what I mean.Whether you look at it as a result or objectively, I hope it will be an opportunity for you to change if you have misunderstood or misunderstood anything.


Nevertheless, the Joseon Dynasty was a failed dynasty, and King Gojong helped sell the country to Japan. Wouldn't it be possible to assume a "constitutional monarchy" when the Republic of Korea was founded? From the beginning, it became a democratic state as if it were not a royal state.

Let's study England. 15th century

 Let's study the basic ideas of British children about how Britain became a large empire. England is not an enemy, but once you know the enemy and know me, you will see a way to beat the enemy and overcome the enemy. In other words, there will be a law that Korea can surpass Britain. What I'm analyzing is English poetry that best understands what the British think. A poem written in 1436 and 15th century England. You Flanders. Remember to be ashamed of yourself. When you besiege Calais, you deserve to be condemned forever. for the English are more honorable than you are, and have been born of more noble blood since ancient times. A poem written in 1430 and 15th century England. Therefore, pay special attention to the surrounding sea. For England, the sea is like a wall, and England is like a city, and the sea is like a wall that surrounds the city. The British love themselves and everything that belongs to them. They think that no one is better than them, and that there is no world better than England. When they see a nice foreigner, they say, "You look like an Englishman," and then add, "It's a pity that he's not an Englishman." "British have an instinctive hostility towards foreigners, and I think that foreigners only enter the island in order to dominate the island and take away British property." ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ It's definitely different from Korea from the basic perception. In a way, it was very closed and fell into national supremacy, but in the end, Britain stood up and Korea sat down. So, what is the real meaning of openness and reform, considering that the British are so closed and full of national supremacy, but they have conquered the world and established a large empire? In a word, they do not abandon their essence, but simply confuse the other country with powerful force and brilliant language, and then stab the other country in the back and eat the other country. First of all, that aspect of the British is one important thing for Korea to learn and learn.

uncomfortable truth about Gandhi

 The teenage boy who was guarding his father's bed missed his wife very much.

I was so sweet that I wanted to go back to my room and sleep with my wife.

I wonder if it's been ten minutes since I left my father's leg-biting hand and came back to the room.

I heard a knock and someone said,

"My father is dead".

Let's talk about one more thing.

A naked old man in his 70s also slept with his naked niece in her 20s to study "what are the original instincts?"

Of course, nothing happened.

It was just a little experiment.

It was to find out the physical reaction of her granddaughter lying side by side with her body.

The boy who shed tears in front of his father's body and the old man who devoted himself to the experiment next to his granddaughter were the same person.

No one would have noticed that he was the famous Mahatma Gandhi.


Few people are as complex and contradictory as Gandhi.

As many people adore him as a saint, there are many critics.

Let's put aside for a moment his life, achievements, and influence in his struggle for independence in India, and look at the aspect of Gandhi, who is anti-interested.

The first story I saw above is the incident that Gandhi experienced in front of his father's death when he was 18 years old.It's okay to call it an incident, because Gandhi blamed himself for not being able to keep his father's deathbed while trying to sleep with his wife, which had a significant impact on his life.As he confessed, she married at the age of 13, and was a young husband who was quite obsessed with "the job."

The aftermath is the second story.

As a result of his obsession with sex, Gandhi, who lived with "regret" for his entire life, decided to "total abstinence" at a young age without consulting his wife.

In the first few years, 'freedom from sex' was not easy, but 'complete retirement' was soon achieved.

More than 30 years later, Gandhi, who reached his 70s, confessed that his body and mind still play separately.

It was the experiment that I slept with my niece and granddaughter.

I have nothing to say if you ask me why I'm experimenting with it.

It's just an honest man looking for truth.

Gandhi's life has been a long journey to find truth, as the title of his autobiography, "The Story of My Experiment on Truth," tells us.

But because of this sex-related experiment, many people left Gandhi.

Nehru, who followed Gandhi like his son for life, did not hide his displeasure with this issue alone.

Gandhi's vegetarianism is well known to the world.

He has been interested in vegetarianism since he studied in England.

Gandhi, who we remember missing, is the result of extreme vegetarianism.

He didn't even drink milk.

"People with strong libido have strong appetite". Gandhi said.

In his autobiography, there is a line between sex and eating.

There are many stories about what to eat and what not to eat.

Because food is closely linked to sex.

Unlike Korean men, who especially reveal healthy foods, Gandhi searched for foods that help abstinence.

He gave up any food that hindered his abstinence.

Sugar, milk, and onions were kicked out of Gandhi's table.

It was also essential to check the body's reactions after eating.

The best abstinence foods he recommended were walnuts and almonds.

Gandhi was so obsessed with the proposition of sex and food because he wanted to use the spiritual energy gained from asceticism for the independence movement.

His vegetarian diet is also linked to the non-violent theory of not killing animals and is included in his movement, Satyagraha.

India is Gandhi's country.

Gandhi is still revered as a saint (Mahatma) and an Indian spiritual leader (Guru) and father (Bapu).

Wherever you go to any city in India, you can see a statue of Gandhi, and wherever you wander, you will find a street or building named after Gandhi.

Of course, Gandhi was not a great Mahatma from the beginning.

Gandhi, a rookie lawyer who returned from studying in England, made his debut in the first trial with a sudden freeze.

One day in South Africa, where he offered him a job, he was kicked out of the train for being a colored man, where he changed his course of life and made a name for himself as a leader of the popular movement.

Gandhi returned to his country, and although he had been at the forefront of the Indian national movement since 1920,

During his long career, he was criticized as a person who sometimes developed anachronistic political philosophy, so he was criticized as a contradictory person with many faces.

His way of fighting was strange and strange.

Nonviolent and non-cooperative methods were unknown weapons that Britain could not afford.

It was Ido Gandhi who incorporated religion into politics, claiming that "politics separated from religion are like corpses in tombs."

Gandhi was a pacifist who insisted on non-violence, but he did not spare any cooperation in suppressing the Zulu rebellion in the Boer War in South Africa.

He also recruited troops for Britain, which is fighting World War I. He encouraged them to go out and fight for England. 

It was a tactic to gain autonomy as a reward after sending young Indian men to the imperialist war in the name of "If the empire declines, the wishes we have kept will also decline."

At that time, as many as 90,000 Indian conscripts died in the war.

It is difficult to avoid pointing out that Gandhi was a person who opposed the basics of modernity and had scratches on his non-violent philosophy. 

In fact, the standard for non-violent philosophy is ambiguous. 

In July 1909, India's hot-blooded young man, Dingra, attempted to kill British imperialist Cousin Wyle, when Gandhi's manner was truly bizarre.

Gandhi criticized "India's Ahn Jung-geun" Dingri as a blind patriot. 

It was three months before Ahn Jung-geun shot Ito Hirobumi.

Crucially, Gandhi was the last person to oppose land reform. That is why the caste system remains in India so far, and land reform has been delayed. In this context, there are many communists who are dissatisfied with the situation in modern India.


Nevertheless, Gandhi was great.

Mahatma is a Beomeo nickname that means about the size of a Mahahorn, and in December 1922, it was called Mahatma Gandhi after receiving a poem praised as Mahatma by Indian literary man R. Tagore. It is often translated as a great soul. 

It is said that he did not like this honor, and an acquaintance close to Neruna called him "Bapu," meaning his stepfather.


Gandhi advised the Jews to campaign against Hitler without resistance.

What was the path of the unyielding Jew?

This is a glimpse of the unrealistic nature of Gandhi's theory.

His image, such as the Messiah, became an obstacle to the development of democracy, and his past regressive argument toward a spinning wheel "village republic" was also criticized as an obstacle to industrial development.


"I believe the caste system is the law of life. 

Also, it's better not to blame your caste. That's the true sign of humility."

In fact, Gandhi was indifferent to the abolition of old bad customs such as the abolition of the caste system, which is India's class system, and was said to have been more favorable to the wealthy and upper classes than the common people. 

Unlike another Indian independence hero, Bimrao Ramji Ambedkar, who showed great interest in the abolition of the caste system and policies toward the common people, he consistently maintained an attitude that "with love and compassion" toward the caste abolition issue. It advocates the caste system to the end and treats the oppressed class despised within the caste system as an object rather than a subject. 

In addition, a system was attempted to deny the workers' right to labor disputes itself.


Gandhi was a star created by the Indian public.

Millions of people who had never seen him and who had no idea what he was were fighting in Gandhi's name.

The image of a leader in the distance was interpreted as a child's acceptance to the hearts of the public, and tens of thousands of people participated in the movement under Gandhi's command.

Gandhi's ability to mobilize the public indefinitely

The same power was exerted in controlling them.

Whenever the potential violence of the public crosses the line,

Gandhi's "non-violence" card appeared.

Leftists also called Gandhi the "Mascot of Burjoa," calling him the "Jona of the Indian Revolution," which blocked the possibility of a violent revolution.

Gandhi was a problematic and controversial figure, but "Bourgeois politician" Gandhi was a great figure. His greatness can be found in bringing the Indian people together for the first time. The majority of the National Assembly, which took power after independence, was stained with corruption, but Gandhi maintained his integrity until the end. Gandhi criticized the corruption of the National Assembly and called for the dissolution of the National Assembly as a political party and the entry of volunteer groups into the public. 

However, the National Assembly abandoned Gandhi, "like eating a hound after the hunt." However, Gandhi, who had lost almost his political influence on the National Assembly, devoted himself to preventing religious conflict, a problem in India, and eventually died in the hands of the Hindu far right. 


Gandhi is the pinnacle of the greatness of the Indian spirit, and at the same time, he is also the person who shows the contradiction of the Indian spirit. This is the case only from the standpoint of advocacy on the caste system. Personally, he reached a state of high enlightenment and was personally respectable, but lacked a critical mind for structural contradictions. This is also because Gandhi was more of a religious saint than a revolutionary great man. 

On August 15, 1947, India gained independence from Britain, but there was a national division between Muslims and Muslims to Pakistan and Hindus to India. At that time, tens of thousands of people were slaughtered in religious conflict, and Gandhi worked to reconcile and reconcile Muslims and Hindus. However, his appearance seemed to favor Muslims to extreme conservative Hindus, and eventually, on January 30, 1948, in New Delhi, 

at an open prayer meeting 

anti-Muslim Hindu extremism in attendance 

Naturam Godse of Rashtriya Sewak, an armed group, was shot and killed.


Gandhi was a great Mahatma, but at the same time he had many human weaknesses.

Mahatma's birth might not have been possible without India's tradition of worshiping leaders.
