<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Gandhi was a big fraud on hindus
Gandhi took the Gita in his hands and told hindus that the Gita preached ahimsa, whereas the Gita preaches righteous vengeance, even against family members

I am not trying to whitewash Gandhi.
Gandhi did appear a little crazy in some instances.
But the main reason majority of Hindus have a high regard for him is his practice of Brahmacharya. We all know Hindus hold a Brahmachari in very high esteem.
I don't think it is possible to change the majority Indian view on this point.

Ambedkar had a very good relationship with Savakar and the hindutva crowd

This is good to know. I didn't know this.
What about Ambedkar's descendents are they pro or anti Hindu?
What about the people who run ambedkar.org?
Also did only the Mahars in Maharashtra convert to Neo-Buddhism or other SCs as well?
