This is good news.. Finally the ashes have been immersed in ARABIAN sea. . Native indians can live in peace now.. This name has been used and misused to the highest extent in the world. . He cannot be the father of a nation which was born millions of years back. He can be the father of pakistan as it was formed by lootin indian money, ripping the nation(courtesy gandhi). . He was a freedom fighter but not the father of the nation. . The british who could suppress the greatest of revolts in 1857 left due to non - violence? They lost everythin in II world war, hece prepared to escape. . His elimination was a bad thing, but was a necessity for the nation, else kanyakumari too would be in pakistan. . Jai hind.. Truth will prevail

well said, Gandhi ji did a great job for India, but this is true that post independance; his political stance was not in favor of India. It was only because of Sardar Vallabh bhai Patel ji that India stood united.

I endorse your views.He cannot be father of nation. He never uttered the words "Hey Ram" when Mr.Nathuram Godse fired bullets at him. Read Godse's autobiography for that.He only uttered "aah". Before worshipping him as a Mahatma, does anyone follow his principle of non-violence.We see violence and insecurity everywhere. Godse assasinated Gandhi because he had no right to make 'sauda' of our country.Imagine the plight of Sindhis and others due to partition. Gandhi had recommended the "visarjan" of Congress after independence. When will we sit back and think realistically about national security and give up this false worship(political for some) of Gandhi ?

Well said!
India would have been better without Gandhi and Nehru.
Sardar Vallabhai Patel and Subhash Chandra Bose were one billion times better than these people. India would have been a much more prosperous and advanced country with them.
Gandhi's "non-violence" is most ridiculous non-sense. Gandhi himself died a violent death. So, where is non-violence? We Indians talk about ideals and think that is sufficient. Talking and practically achieving are two different things.

HI Guys,
The very reason why you are able to write and express freely right now is just because of few individuals who has put the country in that direction. Otherwise we would have been in another Pakistan. People who do not know Gandhi and or not read completely about him is not qualified to talk, although we all have freedom of expression, it should be informed one. And should not be for the sake of commenting. If you read Gandhi completely, you would definitely admire about his views on multiple things. He has been preaching Customer Satisfaction the mantra used in many corporates right now in those years itself, can you believe it. Just read about it, you would see how carefully he has chosed those words in that statement to make an impact.
Comment, you are free to do, but make an informed comment that would lead to healthy debate. Take care.
This is democracy and thoughts do vary..may be u did not loose any relatives during partition.. gandhi was busy fasting for muslims , when millions of hindus were murdered in pak and east pak.. .
