The problem with practicing the policies of exclusion is that one always pits one against the other. Be it one religion against another or one leader against another. An obsession with proving one "superior" over the other !! While in the real world it is entirely possible for conflicting ideologists to work together towards a common goal. Therefore to debate whether Gandhi's political philosophy was better or Patels is futile & pointless really.
However, there cannot be much debate ( or rather should not be) whether Godse was right or wrong. He killed a man with whose political philosophies he disagreed. ( Keep aside the fact who he killed) And if someone does not agree with the other in a debate, like in this forum, you start abusing. And if one were facing each other....would physically harming also cross your mind?
