Ben,
Saying Gandhiji was a divider is too simplistic a statement. If you think Bose or whoever was a better leader - fine, but no need to deride Gandhi based on superficial understanding of the man or his philoshopy.
Sunder/Capt Kumar: Last night Zee News had a piece on "Gandhigiri" back in fad after the "Lage Raho Munna Bhai" movie. Kids were shown saying how they are going back to basics on issues like self reliance and finding that self confidence. Khadi stores of Delhi which were selling about Rs 1.5 lacs per month are these days selling goods well over Rs 20 lacs per month.
