As an Indian I'm happy that a bigger channel has the courage to show the dark side of Gandhi. In India from kindergarten gandi is portrayed like a god. There are countless movies about him which only show the good side. Having personally read his autobiography, he overall was a good guy and has done a lot for the people, but he himself wasn't a god like perfect man.
And I'm happy that my fellow Indians aren't offended. It's great to see people thinking rationally.

He was tagged as "FATHER OF NATION" by the Congress party that went on to rule India for next 3 decades. So for them, Gandhi was a launchpad sponsored by the Brits.
Fun Fact: Gandhi was also part of British army as Sergeant Major and wholeheartedly supported Brits in WW1, before he was air dropped into India as this epitome of "Righteousness".
But those who know the Brits and their colonial bent of mind, would know that they would have seen Gandhi as merely a means to influence gullible Indians, backed by the non proven "Racism on a train in South Africa" story and hence no wonder they saw an opportunity in portraying Gandhi as a "Freedom Fighter".
The views he had about Jews is exactly his views also about Hindus when he encouraged Hindus to get killed at the hands of Islamists in India.
That Hindu hate is found today in Congress Party of India.
Despicable Man leading a Despicable Congress Party!

I am from India. As a child, I was taught in school that Gandhi was a good man and, like God, perfect in everything. But once my father told me about the bad aspects of Gandhi. So I went to my school and talked to my friends about it. But they told everything to the class teacher and the teacher beat me for lying about Gandhi. After that, I was afraid to tell or ask anyone else what I had heard about Gandhi. Years later, when I read Gandhi's autobiography and many other books about Gandhi, I had the courage to say these things without fear to anyone else. By then my circle of friends had grown, and as my friends also learned about this dark side of Gandhi through many books like I did.. I was able to talk to them about Gandhi, analyze him, and come to a conclusion.
In my opinion Gandhi is an ordinary man like all of us. A man with a lot of good and bad. I will never consider him as a great human being. But I accept the fact that he has played an important role in India's freedom movement. And I have no objection to those who live by Gandhian ideas. They follow the positive aspects of Gandhi. But I am opposed to portraying Gandhi as God-like by pretending not to see the dark side of Gandhi.
Thank you for making such a video and presenting it to the world. ❤️ Love from India 🇮🇳

In school we were learning about Gandhi and the title was “Gandhi: an extraordinary man”. Nothing was said about any of the wrong doings of Gandhi and he was represented like a saint. People don’t know about the bad things he also did because it’s never talked about schools. And people wonder why the ones in power still get away with horrific things

Gandhi has always been one of my heroes. Last year I visited the south of India and I must admit that I was rather surprised when I read one his phrases in a museum dedicated to him. As a lawyer, he apparently refused to defend a person because he new this person was guilty. In my humble opinion, a lawyer has the duty of defending even the most evil person. Otherwise he becomes a judge and a jury. Everyone should be given the chance of defending themselves.

As an Indian I'm so happy someone had the guts to speak the truth at an international stage
