Gandhi and perfection are no synonyms
by Rabindra Mishra on Oct 04, 2007 06:33 AM

Every time the political ideals are discussed in India it is assumed that Gandhi is the center and perfection and hence every other character is judged upon the distance between his set of principles to that of the Gandhi. The sphere of political idealism has many sub domains like political, personal, social etc.

The immature tendency of drawing conclusion with no such apparent logic is not new to our media who at best boast a single digit IQ. Now a trillion dollar question? Was Gandhi an example of political perfection? If he is, then Sardar Patel is not. They were 180 degree opposite to each other. Gandhi's political philosophy is totally based upon destiny, whereas Patel's political wisdom was based on a perception that was shaped by the safe-fail theory of a state and thus believed on manipulative action.

Now a single dollar question to our half witted forum members. Was Gandhi's political motive correct and more productive than that of Patel where the later only made it possible to have an unified state from hundreds of princely provinces. If Patel is correct, then Gandhi carried a failed political ideology or may be a political fantasy.

So, drawing the conclusion of whether Godse was wrong or right is an absolute immaturity, particularly shown by illogical dick-heads.
