the ostrich mentality of the Lew Rockwells and Harry Brownes

I saw the film Ghandi three times, in the theatre. Was Gahandi libertarian? Maybe an ostrich libertarian?

Not in any meaningful sense. In particular, his insistence of economic self-reliance ("let's make our own cotton") was the opposite of what a libertarian would prescribe. It also put India on a slow economic track from which they are recovering only now.
