don't agree....people kept voting for Congress..if people didn't like Nehru why did they vote for Congress in the 1st gen election in 1952? Both Gandhi and Sardar were no more by then. The country went on electing Congress over and over again...

Nehru and Sardar Patel were Two Hands of Gandhi. And Both of them had a strong understanding. That's why Patel didn't feel upset for Nehru's Prime Minister Birth. Actually Nehru used to take advise from Patel for most of the issues. Also Congress was a peoples choice for over 60 Yrs and Now also.....

even if you are right, don't blame Gandhiji for the issues with India after his death six decades people like u & me have voted to allow one single party to rule. Gandhiji should not be held responsible for each & every thing. And, if you are saying that he doesnot deserve title of Mahatma then please complain & abuse to anchestors, as they made him Mahatma, Gandhiji never ever stood in any election for Mahatma's title. Remember if we are criticising Gandhji then we are also criticising our anchestors. If Godse was so sure about his ways to get India independent then he should have killed Gandhiji as soon as he arrived in India & declared non-violent ways of movement

Yup!! No doubt 'bout it. Gandi's assassination is one of the most brilliant things to have happened in history. Otherwise he would have deteriorated India further if he had lived longer.

Mr Thakur, it was exactly this type of violence that Gandhi stood against. Thats why his face and not ours find place in the rupee notes. The post 1947 generations have been taught to fight for rights. But you should fight for them only if you know also accept the responsibilities
The author is contradicting herself. First in para 2, she says that Gandhi supported a separate state for Muslims but later on says that he was averse of partition and said that the country would be bifurcated upon his dead body.

No, she is not. The 2nd para is the argument by the people who were conspiring to assassinate him, not Gandhiji's view. Of course he was against partition.

Please read para 1 carefully which is correlated with para 2,which says it is the killers who thought Gandhi supported a seperate state for muslims.

In 1943 Gandhi made a plan to partition India and sent that plan to Jinnah, who wanted more land in Delhi, Lucknow, Aligarh connecting all the way to Bengal and Assam. That was the only reason Gandhi`s plan was rejected by Jinnah. Otherwise Gandhi was never against the partition.
gandhi was supporter of muslims, because in South Africa all those criminals are muslims used Gandhi to give their cases so that he win and they continue their illegal activities

But I think Gandiji wanted to show that he was quite Idealistic . I can compare him to my grandfather who used to neglect my mother and give more importance to distant relatives so that people will appreciate his Idealism

While no doubt Gandhi was great, he had many weaknesses. Unfortunately due to Congress's Vote Bank Politics, if any weaknesses or mistakes of Gandhi is pointed out, the opponents are termed as Communal. Gandhi is a historical figure and like all historical figures both his strengths and weaknesses should be highlighted.

Grow up, you will realise that what your Grandfather used to do was correct. Humans are social animal. You will find your mother also doing same thing once she is Senior. Understand the aspects of Social Engneering.
