Who's surname should we look into next time?
Churchill Maybe? Bismarck could be good
I’m your 5th view
Washington’s???
Da Vinci or Einstein ♥️
Or Disney (Walt Disney)
Name Explain Liszt
It's worth noting that while Gandhi fought *for* Indian civil rights in South Africa, he was openly *against* black civil rights in South Africa at the same time.
He also had unsavoury relationships with young females. Penn and Teller did an episode about it. Clip here: th-cam.com/video/wWRTpajz_xk/w-d-xo.html
Watch knowing better’s video, it elaborates in this
x _ He wanted Indians to be considered white
Thank you. He was no a civil rights activist. Only an Indian activist
@@abandonedchannel281 no
Gandhi in real life: peaceful person who made india independent
Gandhi in Civilization Games:
*OUR WORDS ARE BACKED WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS*
Gandhi has completed the Manhattan Project
Grandi was not a peaceful person really. He was a huge racist.
VIV Yeah everyone forgets how much he hated black people
@@viv7169 Martin Luther King was not a peaceful person , he was a member of illuminati , a Russian spy and a former member of ISIS.
@@stephaniesummer2663 South and West Indians are blacker than Africans
Yes Gandhi was a champion for Indian civil rights but he was not a champion for civil rights in general as he viewed Africans as less than indians. He wanted Indians to be treated equally to the British above the Native Africans. In fact because of this racism he is widely hated in Ghana and many parts of South Africa.
@Abol Tabol Martin Luther was certainly wildly racist. He was one of Adolf Hitler's inspirations.
Not so sure about Martin Luther King.
okay brit
@@nappotapo2672 hey that’s tru mate so yankee
You may be true.... But all the time he worked in South Africa.... He changed and became an advocate for equal rights for all (including Africans)
yes, you are true
you did not mention Rahul Gandhi and his family, although not directly descended from Mohandas Karamchand , the story of how they got their name is very interesting and intriguing
I definitely thought he would say something about Rahul Gandhi 😂
they are not related to Mahatma Ghandi at all. His grandfather was Feroze Ghandy, who changed his last name to Gandhi in honor of Mahatma. The Congress dynasty use the name for obvious reasons, but they are not related by blood to the man.
@@SantomPh yeah I know, but I was expecting at least a mention of pappu 😁
They are the most powerful family in India after all.(not anymore)
Hi I’m Gandhi and if Britain doesn’t gets the hell out of India I’m going to starve myself in public. [Britain leaves India]. Wow that worked.
Swapn Lok it was a joke dude
That's offencive 🙄🙄
@Marisol Martinez okay maybe most of India. Nobody conquers the Tamil Kings.
India fought for Britain in two world wars therefore India was promoted from colony to a dominion in the commonwealth as it was done to Australia, Canada, South Africa and Ireland decades before. But few years later India declared itself a republic and ended the status of British monarch as their head of state.
@Swapn Lok Bose lost
Thank u
They aren't step siblings, they're half siblings. Step siblings have completely different parents from each other. Half siblings have one parent in common.
Gandhi surname is from vaishnav sect. It's originally in Gujrat state in India. Vaishnav sect are in both Hinduism and jainisum.
Hi, your map was incorrect. The British Raj or British India was much bigger, Pakistan and Bangladesh was still part of India at the time :P
And Myanmar
Video: Are there any Gandhis left?
First 8 minutes: *everything about Gandhi other than his descendants*
"first" keyword
"A new law in India that allowed Indians..."
Oh, cool! :)
"...to be imprisoned without trial."
Ah, crap! :(
1:29 if they only shared one parent then they're half-siblings. step-siblings are when your parents are married but you're not blood-related.
"His role is south africa"
thanks ghandi, for doing *that*
8:35 actually the couple shown are Jawaharlal and Kamala Nehru.
Gandhi was a very messed up person honestly
Indeed. He didn't believe that vaccines or medicines worked and denied his wife penicillin on her death bed.
Malcolm c lmao I didn’t hear that. I did hear that he slept in bed with his niece. And how he was racist.
@@JiMMyRoxks yeah, I think *(I think)* that he believed all races should be separated from eachother
@@sandeepkamath9339 he didn't deny her penicillin. Her conditions were bad. Really bad and the doctors told Gandhi that she couldn't be saved. That's why he let her pass away and free her of her pain.
Wtf are you guys talking about? This is BBC propaganda
8:37 That's Jawaharlal Nehru with his wife Kamala.
Lol if not because of this video, I won't realize that I've been writing "Karamchand" as "Karachmand" for years. Sorry Gandhi-ji
Video starts at 8:44
Name Explain : Are there any Gandhis Left ?
Rahul Gandhi : Am I a joke to you ?
That is most probably because Rahul's actual last name should have been ghandy if his grandfather didn't change his name ...most probably for political reasons..
because Rahul is not a relative of Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi is in fact a very common surname among Hindus.
Well...
Modi: YES
He's not related to GANDHIJI
You mean half-siblings?
A sibling is someone with whom you share at least one parent. In other words, “half-sibling” is a meaningless term. You can have a half-brother or a half-sister but they’re still your sibling(s). Equally meaningless would be “step-sibling” as a term. A sibling is a blood relative; a step-relative is not. So you can’t have a blood relative who isn’t a blood relative.
@@DrewGJackson A half-sibling means you only have one parent in common, where as step-sibling means your parents are married but not biologically related to each other. It is perfectly legal for step-siblings to get married but illegal (In most places) to marry your half-sibling . Saying someone is a half-sibling doesn't mean they are lesser then a full sibling just an explanation that that you only have one parent in common. If my son talks about his sister at school I am sure someone would wonder why she doesn't go to the same school or live with us. If he says his half-sister then it automatically explains this and the fact she lives with her mother most of the time. This doesn't make them any less siblings, they still play and argue just the same as all siblings since the beginning of time, just not all the time. All words are meaning less if you want to go back far enough, that isn't a good argument.
Drew G. Jackson no. step-siblings aren't biologically related at all meanwhile half-siblings have one parent in common.
And let’s not forget in-laws.
As a Indian it's the first time I realize how funny people pronounce other languages in different accents
this video is more history than entomology
There's literally nothing in this video about insects.
Are you thinking of edimology
No, it's biology
He obviously meant etymology guys, give him a break.
In javanese, "Gandha" means Scent, or a distinctive smell, especially one that is pleasant.
Same in most indic languages
btw, Gandhi also only fought for Indian rights. He did not care about black people and was in fact quite racist towards them.
Meanwhile the Europeans were racist towards all kinds of non-white people
Smef While Mohandas Gandhi may have been a bit racist in his early years, he was someone who had faced racism himself in his years in South Africa, and solemnly changed his attitude toward those who were normally considered ‘lowers’.
@@rujularora no he was always racist towards blacks, in fact he only advocated in south africa for whites and indians to be part of the same social class while saying unpleasant things about blacks in order to show how much better indians were
Fun Fact: The Guys that killed Ghandi are now in power in India and they lost none of their edge
Dude, your channel is so awesome. Scratches my etymological itch.
I love these types of videos :)
Are there any Gandhis left?
No, because Nuclear Gandhi wiped all of them out.
"Our words are backed with nuclear power!"
There are over 120 descendants of Ghandi Today. Even some of them are living in the U.S. I even met one of the future great-great-great grandchildren when was in Detroit making a film.
Names: exist
Name Explain: I’LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK
The second most famous Gahndi is Indira Nehru-Gahndi
They are fake Gandhi . Because Indira married a Muslim as she was a political leader and India was a Hindu majority country Mahatma Gandhi gave his surname to her.
Yay, names. I like names. Yay, history. Yay, facts.
As you state yourself, "Mahatma" is a title, not a name. The family trees and such should call him "Mohandas", since that was his actual name. Also, while it is true that the other famous Gandhis in India, like Indira and Rajiv, are not relatives of Mahatma Gandhi at all, I expected you to mention that, since some may not realize it, not just ignore them.
1:14 I guess Bangladesh wasn’t part of the British Raj.
Bangladesh was a part of British india. After the partition it became a part of pakistan and later on became a separate nation.
It was tho
@Venky Wank Sri Lanka was not part
@@anonymouswhatever4987 are u dumb
He was referring to the video which has a mistake sarcastically you idiot
They are 'HALF' if the have the same father step if the parson married a person with kids from a previous relationship
I love these videos .
Thank you name explain
On top of me loving your videos I like you made this video
Finally one person in here England is finally talking good about our race
He was not killed by hindu extremists but was shot at the knee to show him that violence was a part of human nature or something. But he died.
Don’t try and justify their behaviour. Extremists can come from all walks of life.
oh no, that was a deliberate assassination.
Although it may seem like Gandhi was a hero in South Africa, his “civil rights” movement was to make Indians the same level as whites, but he wanted Africans to stay segregated, he was very racist against black people, and in India he was very islamophobic. I don’t know how you got “very sympathetic for muslims” he wanted them dead. Watch Knowing Better’s video
Zaid Many African Countries tore down statues of Ghandi
Wasn’t he assassinated by a Hindi nationalist?
Gandhis siblings from his fathers previous children are his half siblings. Calling them step siblings implies that they are not blood relatives
Are there any members of the Qing Dynasty left?
BloodRider 1914 I believe there is, Emperor Puyi and he died in a hospital in Beijing in the 60s so it’s possible grand children still exist living normal lives in China
Well, Puyi did not have any children. But His father Zaitian had 70 concubines and three consorts and one empress. So, probably, he impregnated most of them. But some of them who identified themselves as the descendants of Puyi were either executed during the Wuchen rebellion or during the cultural revolution. Mao personally ordered the son of Zaitan with one of his concubines and lived in Yunnan to be killed during the cultural revolution.
Can you do “are there any riel’s left” for the Canadian civil rights activist Louis Riel, I’m very interested in this because I am a descendant of riel but I do not hold his last name
Oh wow thats really cool
step siblings? Would they not have been his half siblings?
Gandhi: starves And gets credit
North Indian freedom fighters who fought hard in their small armies for years and years: does not get credit
Btw don’t start a flame war
Ryan Kiddo calm down, and delete your comment, go to Punjab to learn the truth
awesome!!!!
The great holy Mother Theresa should be next. 🙄
YES another surname explain!
Reminder that Yandhi hasn’t released yet
I'm really excited for it cause i've been getting into albums recently and MBDTF and 808's really helped me,with that
Seppoleon Vervloet that’s dope, I love all his albums, Yeezus though, that took me more than a few listens to like it.
Being someone from India, gives me mixed feelings about this video, Especially because of those people called "gandhi".
I'm a BJP person 🙃🙃
What does etymology have to do with political affiliations? He simply tried to put Gandhi's life briefly in the video and tell us about his descendants.
@@hussey4826 dude it's a political joke
Whoa this comment section is so toxic.
You guys are nit-picking on Gandhi for no good reason.
He was a very important politician for us here in India and he played a significant role in the freedom movement.
Talking about some of his personal views, well then, give him a break, Gandhi was born in the 19th century. Most people in those days had lots of messed up views. Former US President Woodrow Wilson is a good example of that.
Also, a lot of these "personal views" of Gandhi come from the British press, which was heavily biased against Gandhi and Indian Independence activists, hence the consistent demonizing of Gandhi was done by the British press.
A lot of these claims about Gandhi's "personal views" and "personal life" stems out of the highly negative coverage that Gandhi and the Indian independence movement received from the British press.
This could have just been called a simple history of Gandhi
Last time I was this quick India was still Mughal
400 yrs ago?
@@meetaverma8372 Lol that's the joke
Washington would be a cool surname to look into. Or Roosevelt
The latter is an originally Dutch surname, literally meaning "rose field".
@@oshmob2927
Ludwig van Beethoven: also a surname of Dutch origin. It literally means "beet farm".
Erm... this is Name Explain, not People Explain
1:14 The India of the British Empire (The British Raj) included modern Pakistan and Bangladesh.
There's a girl who works for this radio station my mom listens to who claims to be related to Ghandi
Yutakana she’s his great granddaughter
my brother was in the same class as one of gandhi’s great great grandsons at a private school in the US
When Rahul Gandhi and Indra Gandhi are not even mentioned😅😂
because their grandfather took the name of Ghandi in honour of him. The congress used his name for many years
Before watching the video: Gandhi is good
After watching the video: Gandhi is ok
After reading the comments: Gandhi is...ok?
i know this video is old enough to be in primary school, but I just want to say this, since Gandhi was in the army, HE HAD A KILL COUNT
Raul Ghandi the leader of India's opposition resigned recently quite the dynasty
Rahul*
Not related to Mahatma though.
half siblings not step
Disclaimer:Constructive criticism
Your title was about whether are there any Gandhis left. You focused most of your video on who Mahatma Gandhi was.
Again coming to his name surviving. You reduced the survival just to his descendants. Gandhi is a popular name that exists in India. Like Smith in America. What you said is like saying Smith surname was kept alive just by Joseph Smith's descendants. Actually it would be better to say he was one of the many Smiths and similarly MK Gandhi was one of the many Gandhis.
Î really like this channel, but i dont like the way he idealizes Gandhi
When will we get a new episode of the podcast?
It's a Good thing you made no reference to Indhira Gandhi
My last name is Gandhi, but I am not a descendant of Gandhiji, although my great grandfather was also an Indian freedom fighter
In 2018 my chess opponent was called Gandhi...
Not to be rude but your Indian map is wrong. During British rule, The British Raj included modern-day India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
If Muliben and Pankunvarben were Karamchand’s biological children and Mohandas was Karamchand’s biological child and if their mothers were the only person different, then they are half siblings, not step siblings
Ghandi hated Black South Africans.
What about is there any Lenin’s left
The colonists were so effin' cruel. Can't believe they just left one day on their own will, after sucking the riches out of their colonies like a leech, without even paying equivalent reparations to those countries.
Damn Gandhi would still be alive to day if the people he was trying to help weren’t assholes
.
I always thought his first name was gandhi
like Caesar, Hitler, Churchill, Nehru and Abraham Lincoln the last name made him more famous
I didn't know why you didn't include the family that adopted his name. That was Jawaharlal Nehru's family, still a family with political power in India.
That family didn't got Gandhi from this Gandhi but JL Nehru's daughter Indira Gandhi neé Nehru married another Gandhi named Feroze Gandhi.
@@jonasdavies1806 That was Feroze Gandhey, and was renamed to use the "Gandhi" tag to get votes lol.
8:36 is not gandhi. But jawaharlal nehru. India's 1st prime minister.
This is gonna be a really controversial video....
Are there any Tojos left?
Wow he made a promise to his mother not to touch wine, women or meat well I made promise to my mother and it was the complete opposite
4:14 yeah, he fought for civil rights...for indians! he was actually kind of a racist towards black people
Cody C he was kinda eating meat and drink too. But time changes.
so basically 1800s vegetarian = modern vegan
Can you make about are where still living relative of Winston Churchill left?
Gorbachev
There is David Gandy!
what about arun gandhi?
Im surprised you didn't mention Nehru's son in law who named himself Gandhi, from which we got Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, and Soniya Gandhi.
When is the next podcast episode coming out
10:07 Jeff Goldblum
I have a pakistani friend whose 2nd game is Iqbal. He looks quite simmilar to ghandi and gets bullied in school cux he looks like him. And for some reason some of his other stuff like email (am trying to.be securitive) and stuff contain the name ghandi.
Elegant? No! Ele-ghandi! 😀
Elon musk ig
Gandhi shares my birthday xd lol
I have one major complaint about this video, it heavily mythicised and distorted the life of ghandi. In truth, ghandi was a huge racist, and though he fought for Indian rights in South Africa, he made it well clear he did not want rights for Africans, calling them the Afrikaans version of the n word, and saying he wanted Indians to be above the Africans in the South African social pyramid. Later on in his life he would also be an islamaphobe and he did a lot of pedophilic things. I’d suggest watching the Knowing Better video of how the dark history of Ghandi has been erased.
Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/fTxNSU2k6l4/w-d-xo.html
looking at Ali Jinnah, who founded Pakistan and his own early life which was 180 degrees from Gandhi, Mahatma Gandhi would be correct.
@@SantomPh wtf does that have to do with what i just said
@@bradlemmond ty
You missed out on the other Gandhis, who currently head the Indian National Congress (Rahul Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and the like)
They are not relative with Mahatma Gandhi. Indira Gandhi was the daughter of the first president of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, a friend of Mahatma Gandhi.
Indira Gandhi and her children and grandchildren, you talk about have their last name by Feroze Jehangir Gandhi, a politician with persian roots.
because they are not related to Mahatma Gandhi himself. Indira Gandhi's father was Feroze Gandy, who changed his name to honor Mahatma.
So he didn't miss anything, and your smartass statement goes into the bin
@@harrywijnfoord TIL
@@SantomPh why are you getting so triggered?
You could at least spend a sentence on Indira Ghandi. She's not related of course. If I recall correctly she married a man of the name Ghandi to further her political aspirations with a well known name in India
she did not marry Feroze Gandy for political reasons, they met before Ghandi even returned to India from the UK. Her descendants continue to use the name however, for political reasons.
It is rumored that he survived the assassination attempt and retreated to the Himalayas where he developed a new love for nuclear weapons.
Can you look over the origins of Maharajas
Great Soul Grocer
wasnt like his granddaughter or smth prime minster
No, those Gandhis aren't related to Mahatma. What happened was that Nehru's son-in-law Feroze, changed his surname to Gandhi in honour of Mahatma, before marrying Nehru's daughter Indira. Indira of course had a son, Rajiv, who succeeded her as PM after her assassination.
Their descendants continue to play a role in Indian politics to this day, but again, bear no relation to Mahatma Gandhi.
Then is the musician Aakash Gandhi related to Gandhi
no
Ok thanks
