Mahatma's Murderer should have been pardoned too.

Mahatma's Murderer should have been pardoned too. He would not have become larger than life.

Think Nathu Ram defending himself. After his execution he become martry for some people.

By pardoning him judge could have brought his idealogy to rest. Death sentence should not be given for political crime. This only fuel that particular ideology. This applied to Beant Singh and Satwant Singh too for killing Indra.

Mogambo,

None of us can be superior than Gandhi but at the same time Gandhi's probable naiveness cost a lot to the nation. Giving preference to Nehru against SardarPatel for PMship was one of the costliest mistakes.
Supporting the 'Restore Caliph Movement' in Turkey was another huge blunder. Think about Turkey (probably one of the most secular Muslim Nation) without Mustafa Kemal Atatürk..It would have been another Pakistan or Iran or Iraq!!
Also remember Shaheed Bhagat Singh,Sukhdev and Rajguru's sacrifice which could have been avoided if Mahatmaji was not so adamant about three young patriot's act!
There are so many such incidents which frustrated a lot of freedom fighters and Godse after committing the act took ownership of it rather than sneaking away.
PS. Vaishnov Jan to taynay kahyeeye is one of my favourite hymns :-)
