Actually, Gandhi was not popular in greater Punjab, around and after partition. His grand image was created later more than what he was.
During Partition time Kids used to slap his posters with sleepers or paste with cow dung. Have you given thought why he went to Bengal not to Punjab when Punjab was burning. People used to curse him.
Some Indian creates temple for anyone including Lalu and Sonia, soon we may see Rahul or Priyanka.

I don't mean temple in literal sense. Since the first Mogul invaded India till now Hindus have faced more terror then any other group of people. We could genuinely be angry about all of that. And in the hindsight put correct blame on deserving person. That would be crying on the past. How is it planning for future? Could you objectively tell me how is defaming Gandhi now be better for future unity of India. I can on the other hand step wise tell you how we should unit behind the âImageâ of Gandhi. I can objectively prove, why from this point on only praises of Gandhi would be beneficial for the unity of our country. Again it is not about Gandhi any more it is about how could we use the image or beliefs about Gandhi to motivate the future generations of India in the correct direction. We know some of the good things about Gandhi. We add some more positive aspect to it. We make him a model founding father and inspire future generation. In the end if you can convince me, progressive, motivated, well-meaning and patriotic Indians will unite strongly against Gandhi, and India has a greater chance in becoming a more united and stronger nation, just like Jews united against Hitler, I would defend Gandhiâs image no more. Do read my previous replies on this thread and let me know if any of what I says makes any sense.
