With due regard to Mahatma MKGandhi, I feel he overplayed himself post independence. He installed Nehru and hence the dynasty which has become global now. We can respect him for the struggle he made to secure independence. But HE WAS NOT IN ANY WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR SECURING FREEDOM. Britishers left all of their colonies many of them much before they left India. If the occupants were the current day talibans, Gandhi would have had a more punishing death as per shariat. The person who killed him is a nationalist to the core although there could have been a better way of resolving the issue other than by assassination.
BY THE WAY WHY SHOULD ANYONE LOOK FOR APPEASEMENT UNLESS YOU THINK YOU ARE INFERIOR.
