Gandi was an asshole.
Here is my favorite example, (there are many others)
He told others not to use 'western medicine' Many people died(Including his wife) because of that. When he was ill? he was all about using western medicine.
Yes, that chap was an asshole, and a religious extremist.
But hey, if he didn't lead if Indian Independence, India wouldn't have all the poverty and disease, so he's got that going for him.
If he didn't lead the Indian independence movement, the way he did... India would have been like Afghanistan.
Afghanistan was in a state of commotion.
India too had its problems.
The Soviet Union stepped in and took over.
The British empire stepped in and took over.
Mujaheddin overthrew the Soviet Union using violent means.
Ghandi's peaceful movement overthrew the British rule.
Afghanistan is still in a state of war, even after 20 years.
India has been enjoying a peaceful freedom for the past 60 years.
Calling the Mahatma an asshole just shows how big a hole you've got. He was called Mahatma by the British, that counts for something. Don't make insightful comments, rather just read and move on.
