Misuse of Gandhi name
by shantanu kumar on Apr 17, 2007 12:23 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

For all the criticism of Mahatma Gandhi, he ensured that we had a peaceful society and not a full-blown civil war after Freedom.

What did the pseudo-Gandhi's do.
Indira, thrived on catchy slogans and the Gandhi name. In Emergency, LTTE, Sikh ravage she destroyed the lives of many people and also ruined the ethical high ground that Freedom leaders had after Independence. She also laid the foundation of base politics that we see today.

Sanjay Gandhi was single handedly responsible for the largest pillage in India. Rajiv was not a politician and India did make good progress under him. Finally, Soniya and her littany....well do I need say anything.

'Soniya' and her littany as you have put it made sure that our economy is safe, made GDP growth rate over 8% and prevented the utter dimemberment of this country on religious lines as wished by the Sangh Parivar goondas
