Responsible Indians can write/discuss/articulate facts as they are/were. Let the chips fall where they may. I think responsible Indians as citizens of a mature society know the difference discussing facts/figures/events as they unfolded rather than post endlessly some idle banter. Or for that matter refuse to discuss their leaders of the past for the 'better good' of the society.

It's double edged sword. If we can't peak into the past, how are we going to fight the relevant threats of today and tomorrow? Isn't there a saying about repeating history by failing to take lessons from it?
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->I think the argument is simple should there be effort and enrgy spend 'exposing' Gandhi. I would like to hear from other forum members why it is even nessasary to prove that Gandhi was an unfit leader?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Should we have a forum about India since we could very well be 'exposing India' too? I repeat, the purpose of this thread is not to prove Gandhi was an unfit/great leader or expose anyone around. But if you start with that premise, it's easy to reach that conclusion.
If you point to specific instances of posts and postors, maybe you'll get precise answers on any issues you might have/not in this thread.
