Sorry for the outburst Believer.
Regardless, I still believe that anyone who is willing to go so far as to restrict freedom of speech for such a TINY issue is being foolish.
In fact, the only time I believe where the suppression of this right is acceptable is during war, where what a minority or a faction says can compromise national integrity.
It might be foolish or clever depending on the agenda & purpose. Cong survives on Gandhi worship, so it was hardly a foolish thing on their part.
However the thread was not intended to have another discussion on greatness or evil of Gandhi (as it seems to have become), but a sharia like move being discussed by Home Ministry. You can search it out on Google - it all started when some gentleman wrote a book saying Gandhi was gay or bi or something - Modi govt and Maharastra govt went ahead to ban the book. Cong govt at the center could not be left behind and was contemplating this law to ban any Gandhi criticism alltogether - a nice Ayotollah Khemani like move...I haven't kept tack of the developments since then, as I was busy traveling and doing more important things this weekend.
What is Here, is Elsewhere. What is not Here, is Nowhere.
People passing the law would be the first people to be executing because passing this law would be a great insult to Gandhi. Gandhi even forgave Nathuram Godse for this assassination. Though I don't support Gandhian Philosophy and don't consider him the reason behind Indian independence but nevertheless because of him millions of people become nationalist to fight for mother land. Only a Gandhi or only a Bose is not enough. We need people of both kind(Gandhi and Bose).
It is foolishness that you are punishing somebody for Gandhi? Total foolishness. Gandhi would be so sad to there this. This law is itself insulting Gandhi.
I don't think he was around much longer after his assasination.
I can say Gandhi never forgives British Rule, he only wanted to use peaceful movement because, and this made British Administration in difficulty.
About Mahatma Godse, he did what he has to do. I don't know why he was not forgiven by the court either, yes when the same murderer British officers were leaving India, nobody tried to punish them, all because of Congress.

See, by forgiving I don't mean that he said Indian-British are brothers or something similar. By that I mean he didn't supported the violence against the British Authorities. See the case of civil disobedience movement, just one Police station was burned and he cancelled whole movement :sad:
forget i said anything..how do u delete ur post?
