Is Gandhi the ONLT emblem of National freedom Struggle?

What about Guru Tegbahadur, Banda Bahadur who also faught against oppressive foreign rule and paid supreme sacrifice?

What about those innumerable revolutionaries from Bengal, Punjab, Pune, and people like Bharati from Madras (Chennai)?

What about Savarkar who first defined this as India's freedom struggle?

Gandhi was a failure who could not save India from Partition.

This 1857 incident is now being highjacked by Congress to promote Gandhi Nehru Family and by Communists to distort its message, or origin.

For Jamat-E-Islami, its an occassion to celebrate religious uprising aginst infidels.

This should have been celebrated by people from the WHOLE SUBCONTINENT as suggested by Advani.

Hi Bhaskar,

Everyone knows Gandhi in the international community. Because Gandhi was killed by a religious fanatic, it becomes even more important to project Gandhi because it shows to the world that we reject all kinds of fanatics and facists.

I think Lalu is more international now a days then gandhi. Hence he should have been projected instead of gandhi.

As per Ashis Nandy, noted Post-colonial polemicist, Gandhi was killed by Godse not for religious reasons, but for seclar casue. Everybody was upset that Gandhi was asking Govt of India to pay some huge money to Govt of Pakistan which didn't make any sense in those tumultous days of partition.

Godse was LESS religious than Gandhi.

PS: Nehru/Patel didn't pay the promised sum top Pakistan by the way.

Gandhi never used "secularism", but Mani Aiyar is a self-proclaimed "secular fundamentalist".

Gandhi opined ban on cow-slaughter.

Gandhi also opnied Ban on religious conversion.

Aiyar is the last person who should take Gandhi's name. Because he is furthest from Gandhi;s philosophy.

The world does not know the name of the Gandhis Killer but the world knows about Gandhi. It is no news that Gandhis killer came from the ideology of hate. How can anyone kill a old peaceful man like Gandhi ? Its only the most cruel in the world who could have done that.

basak: be assured, Netaji is treated as a national hero by every patriotic indian. It hardly matters what Congress does. It long ceased to be national party who once led national movement.
