Arun Gandhi
by Anurag Shrivastava on Oct 09, 2007 09:36 AM

Arun Gandhi is a nobody. He must be ignored. Mahatma was a great man no doubt - but his policy of ahmisa led to murder of thousands of Hindus in various riots - whether in malabar in 1920s or calcutta and other places during partition. His support for Khilafat movement was rank opportunism - the kind of tokenism to which Congress relapses every now and then. We have given blood sacrifice for his love of non-violence. Gandhi survived because the British were decent ( though racist ) people and let him live freely so that they could rule peacefully. Most other freedom fighters cooled their heels in Andaman. Incidentally - I happen to be a congress voter and a supporter. Anyone is free to talk about Gandhi in any forum ... this is a free country so far which guarantees right of speech.
