Re: Ghandi’s Philosophy
No that movie shows what people believe about Gandhi, after years of being canonized and sanctified.
Gandhi was a racist, read his works from his time in South Africa, had odd notions of sexual purity, and was a political tool in the hands of the British Raj. He may may have had good intentions, but I assure you intentions are a dime a dozen.
My hope is that the people of India forget this cult of personality! What India needed was a leader, someone like Washington, Jefferson, or Adams. Instead, we got Nehru and Gandhi…and here we are. I say let the dead lie, and let the living not look back.
