Bhai nyyu te bera nee ak majburi ka dusra naam ke sae, par dekhiyo re jakoiyo kite jatland ka doosra naam gandhi-godse blog center na pad je....

Kundu Bhai, I didn't imply at all that Gandhi was helpless. My point was that he was strong/brave enough to refuse security. He was ready to die for his idealogy but not kill. And that I think takes a lot more courage. Now, right or wrong is an entirely different question. You may believe...

Jitender Bhaisa'ab - I highlighted the two points from your reply below: I agree with the first one - it was foolish of me to bring Jinnah or Muslim League in this conversation. However, I disagree with the second. I don't think Godse was brave guy, on the contrary he was a coward. Gandhi...

Good point Mukesh bhaisa'ab

Good stuff!

I know we've discussed this point to death in multiple threads. But I fail to see why Nathuram or RSS blamed Mahatma Gandhi for all bad; why didn't Mr. Godse take revenge on Jinnah or the Muslim League? Mahatma Gandhi in my opinion was all for peace, though tons of time he was impractical in...

Raj, can't think of a better way to put it!

I concede that perhaps the movie has over hyped the "legend of Mangal Pandey", but truly aren't we responsible for under-hyping this legend in the first place ?? (partly because we don't have any good historic account of what ensued). It's true that victors always write the history in any war...

Accidental heroes? All heroes are accidental. No-one plans to be a hero. The point is, that we recognize that when the moment do arise even if it does out of an accident, who ends up standing on the right side and who on the wrong side. Mangal Pandey most certainly chose the right side, Mr...

For the people or against them? Now what to make out of this? http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_1458169,0002.htm

Great effort! Many thanks to all involved!

Yeah you are right Raj. We can not accomplish much through forced measures in long run, we have to focus on tackling misinformation, unnecessary religious rhetorics, age old stigmas while advancing education, women enpowerment, economic well-being, human-development indexes, old age care...

Col Malik ji, A very balanced write-up, I really liked reading it. Thanks! Rajendra ji, I agree with what you said -- Gandhi does today and will continue to evoke strong emotions. One thing seems certain: We can agree with his ideologies or we can disagree with his ideologies or we can even...

I agree; people like Minnesota Senator Satveer Chaudhary, who is a proud Jat with roots in Haryana himself; and congressman Bobby Jindal, a strong Republican, should be tapped in the process!

Rohtak visit will really serve Haryana and even India well....This is a great idea and should be pursued. Additionally, The present government has planned a campaign to market Gurgaon as the "BPO Capital of the World"; since in most part, the US businesses are the ones driving the Business...

I cannot believe this thread has degenerated into a Gandhi-bashing and Godse-hailing discussion. Very interesting, but quite unbelievable indeed.

Bhaisaab, Yeh jatland bhi nahin hota!

Jasbir Bhaisaab, very good chutkula :-) Gam ke paani ka asar dikhe! Deepender

Here are my views on India following socialist policies post-independence: I agree with you that if we analyse today, these socialist policies seem to have done more harm to us than good. Couple of decades of snail pace economic growth in my opinion can be attributed to these policies, at least...
