YES

(FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS, HE WAS INDEED A "POLITICIAN")

NO.
NOT MUCH OF A STRATEGIST, EVEN LESS BRILLIANT.

NOPE. GANDHI HAD IT NOT IN HIM.

THAT WAS JUST NETAJI.

' COS HE WAS THE SORT OF INBRED HALFWIT who believed a lot in ahimsha when it came to indians fighting for their own country, but had no problems and no ahimsha-ic principle to offer when innocent indians went to europe and burma to die trying to save the very poms who colonised us !!

indian casualities in ww2 are second only to that of poms.

so thats the extent to which gandhi and his ahimsha benifitted indians - so much so that tens of 1000s of indians died in a war that wasnt even theirs !!

a dipshit.


aurangzeb did less damage to india than gandhi and his assclown sidekick ("paltu kutta" in hindi) nehru - whose sole legacy is to have planted his entire family tree in our parliament (which - the nehru-gandhi family - is till today the bane of indian politics)


we could really have done without beevis (nehru) and butthead(gandhi).


we... including all other colonies... became free, largely due to the second world war.
