Isn't that the guy who ran a gas station? (According to the Hildabeast)

Given his comments on the Jews of nazi Europe, it seems that he was more than willing to let someone else die as pacifists.

This guy goes to INORDINATE lengths to discredt Gandhi, or at least the image of Pacifist Gandhi created by the movie. While I have no doubt he is romanticized in the production, I believe that Gandhi was one of the times' spiritual giants. By force of will alone he focused Indian attention on their own independence rather than the servitude to which they'd grown accustomed under British domination.

That isn't to say that the Indians didn't benefit to some degree from the Empire, or that India has successfully translated Gandhi's ideals into reality. But Indian independence was achieved relatively bloodlessly, thanks in no small part to his leadership.

Still have to respect somebody who helped to finish the job WE started: bringing down the evil British Empire.
