119. Gandhi's own words and actions excoriates him - not me.

I beg to differ, I cannot compare Sen. Bryd who publicly demonstrated contrition for years with Gandhi who never apologized. It was a statement by the government and still upsetting to the extent that Minorities of India ask that we even stop using Gandhi as a role model. Senator, as members of the Indian minority community, we are compelled to strongly protest your celebration of Gandhi. You would do better to make America’s founding fathers your example, since they at least taught, if not always practiced, that “all men are created equal.” Gandhi, however, actively promoted inequality for all, and we question your judgment in choosing an indisputable racist as your source of inspiration. Your oversight of Gandhi’s anti-black activism is worrisome, inducing us to doubt your potential discernment as president.http://www.minoritiesofindia.org/reject-gandhi-an-open-letter-to-senator-obama/

My response to you is not about forgiveness nor the perfect being the enemy of good. It's pure information based on your apparent disbelief, judging by the emoticon, that Gandhi did not harm people. The fact is his activism did and continues to harm people.

First of all, MLK, Jr. is not the argument nor is it about whether MLK, Jr. would forgive Gandhi. By many accounts, towards the end of his life, MLK, Jr. felt that his strategy of change thru non violent resistent had reached it's limit. http://harvardwrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/HW_Wang.pdf

MaDem, all of our heroes have clay feet and so did MLK, Jr. But in my opinion, he was more righteous than Gandhi and hence why Roy said he was more "Gandhi than Gandhi."
