Revelations about Mahatma Gandhi
in Daily Dose
There are some revelations about private life and inner urges of mahatma Gandhi in a recent book. This has caused resentment in some circles.

This reminds us that even the greatest of men are human first and not free from the psychological traits that may be be found in any ordinary person. We need to appreciate the lead of great leaders like Gandhi and not hero worship them.

    The author of the book denies the revelations about Gandhi. According to him, the controversy on book is unwarranted.

    The move to ban book on Gandhi is highy undemoctaric and infringement of freedom of expression. Mahatma Gandhi was very great and we regard him for his unique contribution to humanity. However, fact remains that he was also a man of flesh and bones like ordinary mortals. Even if the revelations are true, he does not lose his greatness. Let us respect and not worship great leaders.

    The foreign writer could not create controversy. In India, leaders are worshiped unlike the west. We forget that even the greatest leader is a man of flesh and bones and could have any weakness.

    The Gujarat Government has banned the 'controversial' book. This shows that India is not yet a mature democracy.

    Thew Center is believed to be contemplating law that will make any insulting remark to mahatma Gandhi a punishable criminal offence.

    This is height of personality cult and negation of all democratic norms. Nobody will be punished for insulting Emperor Ashok, Akbar or any other great man in history. What is so sacred about Gandhi.

    We all respect Mahatma Gandhi as father of nation in view of his contribution to freedom struggle. But he was also a man of flesh and bones and could have any human weakness. It will be blatant misuse of authority, breach of democratic norms and the fundamental right of expression to deny the authors independent appraisal of historic personalities.

    The book is banned in Gujarat. I have given this information with link in this thread itself.

    The intellectuals in India are now raising voice against ban on book. Banning book is highy undemocratic and must be condemned by all right thinking people. Apparently, India is not yet a mature democracy. In a democracy, nobody howsoever improtant is never worshipped.
