An attempt at reasoning the unreasonable actions
Mein Kampf “My Struggle” is an autobiography by Adolf Hitler and the very title deceives the readers as it did me. The entire book consists of his opinions on race and politics rather than his life’s struggle. Written with extreme aggression and favour, he denigrates the Jews. The entire book focuses on proposing racism. As per hi belief the law of nature is autocratic, thus the world should be governed through autocracy. He states that the Aryans are the supreme race and are responsible for all the cultural, social and political revolutions, therefore, liable to dictate the whole sphere and the other races are obliged to surrender to them and follow them. Though mostly hated by present world the name Adolf Hitler and the story of his tyranny world subsist on the minds of the people for a generation to come.
