Thogh, no fan of Gandhi, I must correct you where you are wrong. Gandhi did not teach us to be cowards. If one person has got the power to teach the entire race to be cowards, there has got to be something wrong with the race. The fact is; that we have always been cowards, and that is why, Gandhi appealed so much to us. I would like to refer you to 'Madhyakaaleen Bharat Ka Itihas' by Prof Ashirwadilal Shrivastava. In the chapter describing Allauddin Khilji's rule, it has been mentioned that in those days, there was a law, which forced Hindus to open their mouths to accept Paan-spit from Muslims' mouths, if Muslims so desired. Hindus did not protest once. A race that has tolerated this much does not need Gandhi to make them cowards.
