Gandhi’s gross hypocrisies were guarded by British and Western media, as well as, Indian National Congress. It was not for nothing that Jinnah called M K Gandhi “wily Gandhi”. Gandhi was the wrong man in right time and right place.
if Godse was a terrorist, so were Khudiram Basu, Binoy Basu, Surya Sen, Bhagat Singh and Chandra Shekhar Azad et al. While the later violently fought against British colonialism, the former killed the perpetrator of self-loathing, apologist, timid and passive Hindu Indian psyche.
To call Gandhiji as the Father of the Nation is inappropriate. No man deserves that divine title. Gandhi was one of the many greats who shaped our country’s destiny.
Gandhi in spite of many wrong doings will be called a torch bearer of freedom, in the same way Godse's contribution as a freedom fighter can't be set aside.
