    He became the reasons for so many issues today in india, he couldn't save bhagat singh even when he had a chance to do so. What he did was minority appeasement and didnt give any importance to the voice of hindus.

    Was independence from British rule a good thing? Americans thought so, though people like AtvKing would call us evil separatist nationalists.

    Gandhi was another retard who in his ego, cost millions of lives.

    When Clement Atlee, the British PM was asked who really was a threat to the British empire, he said it was Subhas Chandra Bose who lead the Indian National Army. And what about Gandhi? He was nothing.

    He was just a tool used by the British Government to counter the public. The British displayed his flawed Satyagraha as a winner in the eyes of the public and made Gandhi an overnight God.

    Gandhi thought that he lives in heaven. Just few questions which you try to answer yourself, you will understand the true picture.
    1) Why was Gandhi never killed by the British Govt? They could have easily crushed him if he was the biggest threat to the British.
    2) Tatya Tope, Bhagat Singh, Subhas Chandra Bose were killed, then what thing was Gandhi for them?
    3) If Gandhis theory worked then why we didnt get Independence in 1909 when Gandhi came in India? Why more 50 years? Whereas SubhasCHANDRA BOSE had worked a deal with Nazis(Hitler) and Japan to free India?
    4) Gandhi is responsh

    I second that. Subhash Chandra Bose and his Indian National Army, reached the state of Manipur in India, during the 2nd world war. But the country did not support them with an uprising since it was blinded by gandhi and his ilk.

    Subhash Chandra Bose escaped from house arrest in Kolkata, travelled to Afghanistan (in deep cover), made alliances with the pashtoons and with
    the help of Russians, went to Japan and than on to Germany, just like a larger than life secret agent plus revolutionary. Where he cut a deal with the Reich to free the Indian POW's who were taken captive while fighting for the British. Subhash Chandra Bose knew that Hitler's strategies and goal were not in alignment with his own but he forged an alliance. He went on radio from Japan, broadcasting that he will even make a deal with the devil/satan, if it means freedom for our beloved motherland, India.

    He was the first person who regarded Gandhi as the father of the nation, even after he was wronged by the Indian National Congress.

    I have visited Subhash Chandra Bose's residence in Elgin Road, Kolkata. This was the place from where he escaped house arrest and went on to build the INA. I was really moved, when I was inside the building. A house that is such an important part of our freedom struggle.

    The central govt never did anything worthwhile to preserve the legacy of such a true son of the soil.

    Something tells me that you all are retarded.

    If everyone in the world followed his teachings, it would be a much better place. So much better that you can't even imagine.

    Palestine would be a free and independent state. Killing someone who would deal with the Nazis or the devil is an easy thing to do. Killing someone who is a god to the people, even if you helped promote the image, is a very difficult thing to do.

    I like the whole peace thing, but it only worked because his opponents were British. That would have been a hopelessly useless strategy against the Russians, the Chinese, the Japanese, the Muslims, etc...

    On the other hand, Gandi wasn't a humanitarian, he was a nationalist. He didn't give a shit about humanity, he was just freakishly OC about uniting a everybody within his concept of "India" under one really lousy government.

    Of course, his idea of "India" was a complete fabrication. He ended up smashing together an incredibly diverse collection of cultures which might have done far better separately. He managed to have them all ruled by a government which was in no way capable of managing a project of that magnitude -- and still isn't. The "Indian" people might very well be better off today if they had convinced the British to stay.

    He was not perfect. So he too had had bad times..But one thing about him was that even if the whole world resisted, he would have gone in the way his instincts told him and that is one thing that not everyone can do...There's no doubt that he was a great man.

    I think he is an Idiot

    Britain is the only reason why India even has anything besides curry and Giant piles of SH!T SURROUNDING EVERY SINGLE SPACE IN THE COUNTRY. Yeah the British are oppressive but a they sure have done things 1,000,000 times better thanwhat India is capable of.

    Look at Hong Kong today the only reason it is an economic power in Asia is because of Britain if it was controlled by China it would be just another crap hole Chinese city.

    Yeah to be suppressed and have more Jalianwala Bagh's is a great idea
    if they had won over the rulers honestly, may be Indians might have not objected it just like the Mughal rulers but British were cunning and racial, so I think its better off to leave whether how India might have been under a holocaust rule again

    better mind your language !!!
    r u an Indian and r u totally aware India is totally in a piece of crap ? Better learn before you comment
    now about Hong Kong - lol!!! British wanted Hong Kong as their piece of trade, so they would have developed it any way, India was a way off different use to them
    even Phillipiness was ruled by British is it a country to boast off for its current problems (in ur terms great economic development) ?
    British only developed resources useful for them and left the rest as dump

    I would have loved to see some Violent leaders such as Subash Chandra Bose or Bhagat Singh or Azad to have won independence, India would have been under better rule but not under British regime for sure, ya they have developed India to an extent but I think people forget the pain and torture that was lead to it

    Sorry for ruining your colonial nostalgia, but India is better off being ruled by its own people. Whatever development work the British did in India was done to serve their own purpose and not because they were great humanitarians or were concerned about the welfare of their Indian subjects, rather to bolster the drain of Indian wealth to Britain.

    By the way, I do not like Gandhi too, and there is a whole chunk of bullcrap attributing India's independence to Gandhi's non-violent struggle. The truth is that Britain had to leave India because after the second world war it had almost become bankrupt and was finding it increasingly difficult to manage India, where the freedom struggle was getting louder and increasingly violent. In fact the credit goes more to Subhash Chandra Bose (and WWII of course)for making the British pack their bags earlier than expected.

    With massacres like the Jalianwallah Bagh and massacre of the civilians of Delhi in retribution for the 1857 sepoy mutiny and the Bengal famine to the credit of the Brits, I dont think India would have been better off under them.

    In a region plagued with problems, modern India stands out as the largest democracy. There hasn't been a single military coup in its young history despite having such varied cultures and religions. Something to be proud of I think.
