Mahatma Gandhi was a simple, great man. He would never promote violence and weaponry in anyway. Leave that aside, he had also stated that the Congress party should be dissolved once India attains independence. But since there was no other strong party, the Congress continued to remain in existence... And it still continues to dominate using our Mahatma's photo. You are right about this, Hari.

Nice one man..! Even i sulk about this a lot! And the latest use of Gandhi's photographs is to show him sitting with Rahul Gandhi! Almost every bus stand in Delhi is painted with these pictures! P.S- On a different note, the other perspective about Gandhi (http://hshekhar.blogspot.com/2009/10/nathu-ram-godse-man-who-killed-mahatma.html) Ha ha ha!!
