I do not see it as an insult. Some like to visit the cremation, some dont. you are just maginfyingsuch a small issue. its not an insult to mahatma, its an action which needs introspection. Only people who do not come into terms with the greatness of mahatma will do, as we see here: a saudi king, why will he care about mahatma. and why shud indian government make people visit the cremation unless they want to.
