How can it claim to be a secular democracy with liberal qualities (such as free speech) when it will not tolerate any anti-Gandhi sentiment? The education system, the left-wing media, the law enforcment bodies (such as the police and courts) will come down on you like a ton of bricks if you criticise Gandhi. Text books only give one side of the story, about how great he was blah blah blah blah blah. His failures are not so much looked at and if anyone dares to contradict the presiding sentiment that the majority of Indians have been brainwashed with, they are attacked by the Congress party Goons.
Fair enough, if Indians want to love and admire Ghandhi, that is their decision. However where is the justification in forcing everyone to love and admire him and in curtailing any criticism of Gandhi.
Those people who do not like Gandhi have just as much right to express themselves as those that do love Gandhi. However anti-ghandi people are automatically considered fascist.

This world is a big forest. We need a role model to bring order in Society. Gandhi fits as that role model for Indian Society. Else ours would have been a voilent society.
Of course Gandhi had several weaknesses.He harmed hindu intrests.He became instrumental in Partition based on religion. He became instrumental in killings of several million hindus by advocationg protection of muslims in hindu majority areas while he never dared to convince muslims in muslim majority areas. He made congress to pay 60 crore to Pakistan and the Pakistan govt utilised the money to kill hindus.

I could not lay hand in any of the Government of India Laws/Directives/Orders or Decisions not to criticise any one and then why Gandhaji alone? If a person's Actions/activities or words etc. reasons or need criticism then the question for such a subject arise. India is not only considered but in real is a GREAT SECULAR DEMOCRATIC Country in the WORLD where the freedom of Expression/Speech is not forbidden within the frame work of Indian Constitution. Further, your anxiety/conclusion that the Country is forcing you/everyone to love and admire Gandhiji do not
carry any truth where as you should analize and find out, is there anything that attrack/need criticism for such a Great Son like Gandhiji in INDIAN soil and should try to ease your anxiety on this subject and in my own opinion then the point for criticism arise. And if you could find such a point, then express yourself with proper justification/evidences and there may not have apprehensions. I regreat I cannot agree to your opinion and stand with above statements.

India is a free nation and all have right to speak. Some people take advantage of that and speak whatever they want. I don't mind they speaking against Gandhi as that does not impact anything. India knows what Gandhi did for the country and some people blabring nusence does not matter.

So what is exactly yr problem with Ghandi?
Are u one of those who think because Ghandhi was a Guju (a term used by many non Gujus who really fancy themselves as more Macho) u could have done a better job?

Why should criticise Gandhi . gave a reason fairly if you can point against him. Every hero have other side of history be happy you are enjoying the fruit of his work .don't look in to the negative side of National heroes.

There's not much to criticise him for. Whatever a political party happens to have done in his name is no fault of Ghandi. It's like how Muslims want to kill anyone who 'criticises' the prophet.
What exactly is there to dislike about Ghandi?
Don't call yourself Buddah's Brother if all you do is dislike, despise and criticise (perhaps also thumb me down).
