Hahahah unity with muslims. Exactly why Gandhi is rightly despised in India. Typical liberal colonialist bull sht.

I find it funny that the French left Algeria because they knew staying there would mean a muslim France, but somehow that was good for India... yeah, right.

Not sure if the word assassination describes it.

Now Obama trying to play like he is the Mandela in Africa is clearly an imposture using the grave of the dead as a personal podium.

Gandhi is not despised in India. Far from it. It’s deranged to blame Gandhi for the savagery and intransigence of muslimes. He tried his best to reconcile India’s widely disparate religious sects and he failed — ultimately giving his life in the cause.

There were comments that Mandela’s funeral would be comparable to that of Winston Churchill. Obviously there was no comparison as Churchill was honored with pomp and dignity while Mandela’s funeral appeared to have been choreographed by the Marx Brothers.

Turned out to be nothing more than a pop culture, UN, foreign dignitary circle jerk.

and all that history is totally ignored by the media and such these days. Even National Review went over the top and treated the man as if he were like Jesus.

Gandhi was a shill for western fabian accademia. It was replacing a colony with another authority, not anything close to US independence which removed completely jurisdictions of the empire.

Gandhi was a demoralizer burdening victims of islam. Hindus never surrendered enough. And no, i know plenty of Indians who do not like him. It is not “deranged”.

Given Obama’s rogue translator, it wasn’t a complete loss.
