I dislike the requirement that heroes must be pure otherworldly angels. None are. There was good and bad in Gandhi, is that such a surprise? Does the bad cancel out the good? I don’t think so. Better to try and fall short than sit on the sidelines and point out the faults of others.

The legend of Gandhi is that massive, peaceful, non-compliant protests are the enemy of Power and the shortcut to freedom. That's why they stopped teaching about him and his movement - he brought down a small part of the empire that controls us and that scared the shit out of them.

Amen, thank you!

Yes, they stopped teaching about him, but I suspect they went further, trying to posthumously character assassinate him.
