Whenever someone does something good for the masses there is bound to be a minority group which dislikes the way the things are done.
Gandhiji faced a similar problem, he had a big task to unite the masses so that thethey think and talk in a streamlined fassion.
There were many problems facing the political structure of that time, one of the big ones being hindu-mulim activists and imbalance. To mallow the gravity of the issue he decided to opt for pakistan, so that three countries can be made and the predominent hindu population is separated from predominantly mulim population and vice-versa.
This concept of partition was not liked by some people and they discriminate gandhiji even when he did so many good things and with a complete consultation in an environment where a proper government was not there.

Yes you are very true. In India, as the years are passing by we are not only forgetting the contribution made by Mahatma Gandhi, but also started making more and more fun of Gandhi ji. Some times it seems that it has become a fashion to ridicule Mahatma Gandhi. As a matter of fact,its very sad. Gandhi was a great human being, a great leader. How else can some one drive lacs of bare handed people along with him just by his words. All of his followers knew that they are not going to fight against their enemy with any weapon. They knew that the people,against whom they were fighting, were fully equipped with all the powers to harm them. Still they were ready to go along with Gandhi. Can you expect some one to do that unless he is dead sure that he possesses a more potent though intangible weapon, called Satyagrah, which is sure to make them win the battle.
History has shown us time and again that if you want a long lasting peace, you can not win it with the help of violence. You can certainly have a temporary relief but it may not, and will not, last for long. The ongoing Iraq war is a flagrant example. Though US is successful in eliminating Saddam, they are not able to achieve any thing out of it.Entire Iraq is burning. Violence has begotten more violence and the whole world has turned into a dangerous place to live in.
So Gandhian principles are much more relevant in the context of today's world.

He is a great personality
Do you know for what Gandhiji fighted

It was first Bhagat Singh who demaneded for complete independence. Then congress has came into discussion and started demanding complete independence
why people will forget Bhagat Singh who sacrificed not for name but for independence no body remembers

People discriminate Gandhiji, because they can't stand up to his principles whole heartedly, and doesn't have the patience to wait for the result which Mr.Mohandas Karamchand.Gandhi preached.

i agree
Gandhiji deserves to have his pic placed next to that of God in every indian household
as to why people make fun of him, "discriminate" him, i can think of only this quote from William Shakespeare's Julius Caeser
"The evil that men do lives after them
The good is oft interred* with their bones"
JAI HIND
-----------
*oft interred = often buried
