It's the same with Mandela. He supported and encouraged violence and murder. Winnie Mandela (wife) supported Necklacing, which is no better than ISIS executions. I'm not saying both sides didn't cause great atrocities, but history has a funny way of being portrayed as incredibly bias.
Anyways, great price. Hot.

Rodney: People become famous for a little while then they disappear. Like Renee and Renato...Simon Dee...
Trigger:...Or Gandhi.
Rodney: Yeah, yeah exactly. See, so maybe this time, it's our...Gandhi?!
Trigger: Yeah. I mean, he made one great film and then you never saw him again.

Thank you! Finally someone speaking some truth!
The whole world has this blinded notion that Gandhi was this all peaceful bringer or equality and freedom without having a clue what he even did.
Gandhi was simply a good manipulator of the "privileged" situation he was in. Nothing more.
If you want to know about the greatest indian who truly deserves to be known and respected in this way then take a moment to lookup Dr. Ambedkar.

Gandhi did so much for Indian independence. This led to no more poverty, no more caste system and everyone had a basic standard of living with the income inequality made better for all. Yay!
Oh wait..

masterpiece. great story and what world needs right now. non violemce.
It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence. :confused: - Ghandi says what!?

Doesn't Ghandi mean bad odour? However OP could have looked at the cover and checked spelling of Gandhi
