Excuse, Aurobindo prepared secretly for armed insurrection.  He said "I am
neither an impotent moralist nor a weak pacifist".  He clearly thought armed
revolt was right.  In first decade to 1910 he carried out secret activities in
Bengal.

I also query whether Gandhi was never charged for any offence.

It is not proper to boldy assert none of these things happened when numerous
historical works show to the contrary (particularly for Aurobindo).

The research must be based on facts not what one wants to believe subjectively
or what one is taught to believe by distorted media perceptions.
