Personal opinion is one thing but when one comes to debate it is expected that the person is also able to understand and address the opponents views! Merely hanging on to ones preconceived notions does not serve any purpose, whatsoever. I would have appreciated it if Godse's supporters had expressed their views for supporting Godse along with something to back up those views but none came out !! So I can only infer that they are simply expressing something they have been hearing repeatedly by people around them without really giving it much thought.
And what sort of argument is this about Gandhi leaving back nothing! Since the time he took up the mission to overthrow the British Rule in India and gain freedom for his country he had been working relentlessly towards it ! what leaving behind of a name are you referring to? Not Nehru's family I hope? Again a case of misplaced grudges! Gandhi's own family continues to lives in oblivion.
And how can you even compare today's politicians to Gandhi?? ๐ It is most astonishing to see that Gandhi is being expected to deliver even long after his death! It was Nehru who took reins of the country after India gained freedom. He was more pragmatic in his approach and considering the changing political scenario in the country after gaining freedom he did well to build up our defence forces. You aren't complaining about that, are you? Building our defense position and economy does not negate or belittle non violence or satyagraha principles of Gandhi. Adaptation is necessary for survival and progress. Gandhi was innovative in his approach and applied it successfully . Excluding a few of his own countrymen, the entire world today remembers him fondly . What have you to say about Godse, if anything at all ??
Not being able to follow someone's footsteps does not mean we have to assassinate that person or even belittle his contributions to our welfare! Isnt it all the more reason to appreciate what that person must have been through to accomplish what he did? Or is it that we even lack the ability to do that! Must we always find some scapegoat to pin the failures of even a miniscule part of our dreams? Gandhi did what he had to do. Its our turn to achieve whatever dreams still remain unfulfilled! After all Gandhi stands assassinated by a person who was younger, physically more fit and possibly who could have himself lived a longer and more productive life but instead chose to place full onus of delivering his dreams on Gandhi, killing him when he was perceived to have failed!
