RE:Gandhi was a Big Failure
by Drive A McLaren on Oct 02, 2007 08:10 PM

Its shocking to read your assesment of Mahatma Gandhi, a name you mention on any street of America and people would know who he was. He commands respect across the globe across generations. The man who did the impossible. And here in India, years after he was assassinated by his own his legacy is torn to bits. I dont want to get on your case but I despise people like you who wont miss an opportunity to ruin the image of the man we potentially owe our freedom to. Yes its true he went soft on Jinnah to avoid bloodshed but look at the positive side of that decision, we dont have to deal with North Waziristan type fanatics here. We have internal issues like caste system, religious polorisations but its a huge house we have, a billion of us, and its a mighty tough job keeping the house in order.
