With the objective to.....? Have all the members of this forum disown him? that makes, say 1000 people and they convey that to another 100000 how soon before all or at least most of India is ready to rip off Gandhi from Indian History? You have destroyed his statue burned is effigies, just like Lenin, than what?

Not to Please them but to stop them from entangling in to issues that would frustrate and exhaust them. Stop them from starting fights that even if they win will achieve them very little. Shattering Gandhi’s Image alone will not bring honor and respect to Hindu religion.

Gita is best, none can replace its teaching. I consider it as supreme.

I agree. May be it won’t be totally false to believe Gandhi followed Gita. But to believe one ideology does not mean to grind another in the ground. That would be like being a muslim. More than half of the population of Indian Hindus have visited muslim Darghahs and prophets. With 'tolerance' so deep in our culture, you will have a hard time making them dispice Gandhi. At the best you could only create a bigger chaos. You will not be able to change the history, you will just make it merky.
