[QUOTE="polpol, post: 130660, member: 12142"] Is it not enough that Gandhi was shot to death, must his memory be violated too? This site does not allow personal attacks nor hate speech, these 2 articles are just that. I met G.B. Singh in another site. It would be easy for me to do the same thing with him. As a retired US Army colonel, I could show that this not so heroic man with blood stained hands is a racist and a sexist and a coward because only cowards shoot on dead bodies, real warriors don't do that, so to me he is a very bad embassador of Sikhism. Aren't we suppose to have some respect for the dead? Should I also insinuate that G.B. Singh beat his wife, or that he cheated on her and that he has several illegimate children in various countries,etc. No, I won't do that but that's just what he is doing with Gandhi. And what exactly did G.B. Singh do for India or for humanity? Why fuel hatred on such a man? Some did the same with Jesus, depicting him as a homeless drunkard that liked to hang around prostitutes. Gandhi did not want partition. This was his greatest sorrow. Why is he blamed for this when he had no real power. After Independance he was put aside and had no official position in the government. Later in his life he complained that everybody wanted to take a picture of him but nobody listened to what he said. Today his name is used to sell just about anything, Mont Blanc luxury pens, non-veg food and alcohol in restaurants, telecommunication (Italia Telecom), should he be blamed for that too? One thing for sure is that he would have been delighted to see a Sikh as prime minister of India, that's the kind of country he wanted, a model of multiculturalism and religeous tolerance. Of course he made lots of mistakes, it could not have been otherwise since he never planned for the career he had, he merely got caught up in history. It all started with a personal racist insult and he brought it on a political level and one thing led to another. But today not many people remember him and as Shakespear had Brutus say, "The evil that men do lives after them, the good is oft enterred with their bones", though "evil" would be excessive in Gandhi's case. And sex was not his second best subject, it was God and truth his only subject whether in politics or in his personal life. After all he accomplished how can we blame him for not doing more. He taught fearlessness to uneducated, half naked, half starved people who would crawl when ordered to (remeber when the British made all Hindus and muslims crawl from one end of a street to another because a British woman complained she was molested by one of "those"?). And he was not at all for the atomic bomb. About the rusted sword, he meant that the use of violence and weapons can only lead to more and more destruction. There are many things that Gandhi had in common with Sikh philosophy, fearlessness and the search for truth, for example.
