Is there a worse criminal in human history? >Took India out

>>2134007
He is a good force in history simply because he helped guide Indian independence pretty much down the most peaceful path it could take at the time. Personal life doesn't really matter. Also independence was coming no matter what.

>doing ANYTHING USEFUL exept for talking and spoiling the protest from taking the revolutionary form as it should have been
Come on, Gandhi is a popular icon, he was pretty useless as a politician and he wasn't even a member of Congress by the time of the Mountbatten plan becoming real.
He's an icon for those who doesn't study history and think that peaceful non-economical protest is the way to win.

how much of this is true? Isn't ghandi a good boy

>Mother Theresa
>Dalai Lama
Can you name any more false heroes or icons?

>>2134406
he was an asshole in his personal life, and he was pro hitler, but only because he was fighting the eternal anglo. Even in india today Hitler has a positive reputation for that reason, people don't really have knowledge of his war crimes.

That said I think Gandhi was overall a force for good since he led the country towards independence in about as peaceful a manner as could realistically be hoped for. Independence was going to come with or without him, but it could have been a much longer bloodier struggle with MUCH more ethnic and sectarian bloodshed.

More like a true neutral. Subhas Chandra Bose was pro-dictatorship, rumors say that if he didn't crashed his plane, he would have went to USSR.
>>2134440
>Churchill
He definitely wasn't a honest fellow, but that's politics. Check
>A. Jackson
Sorry, don't know much of him.
>Che Guevara
Well, many people just don't actually pay attention to the real beliefs of their t-shirt image. Check.
>Trotsky
Modern trotskytes are a joke. I bet most of them haven't even tried to go deeper into marxist literature.

They introduced mass cronyism and corruption, along with political instability.

The worst era was 1950-1960 under Nehru Socialism.

Sardar Patel wanted to follow America's economic system. He wanted to focus on cities and industrial revival.

Nehru wanted to follow Soviet-style Communism, but felt it was too militaristic and harsh so adopted Fabian Socialism.

The Congress Party had actually wanted Sardar Patel to take the PM position, but Gandhi intervened and forced them to accept Nehru.

Eventually Sardar's vision was achieved, but only after several wasted decades of only modest growth.

He wouldn't even if he wanted to. The indian "national bourgeosie" and the rest of the Congress wouldn't allow it.
>wanted to focus on cities and industrial revival.
Wow, same thing the soviets wanted for themselves.

>>2137550
>industrial revival
based on what? It started with barely any industry or skilled personnel to develop it.

The same thing nehru did?

we had a few threads a while back.
Turns out she didn't actually do anything of note for calcutta but had the entire vatican do PR for her while she railed against abortion.

>>2137601
That all her charity organisation, was, in fact, a missionary group, used by dirty billionaires and dictators as money laundry.

>>Publicly humilitated his wife by forcing her to clean out public toilets (was another obscure fetish of his)
Gandhi actually killed his wife. She had chronic bronchitis for most of her life, but Gandhi refused to let her use any modern medicine, insisting on traditional treatments and spiritual remedies. Even in her final illness when his sons begged him to allow them to treat their mother with modern medicine he refused, firm in his religious conviction; she died a few days later.

Of course, his religious conviction didn't stop him taking modern medicine when he got malaria.

when people try to malign British rule in India, they always post graphs of India GDP per capita or its share of global GDP. They never give the graphs for overall GDP, because that would show that the British increased India's wealth by 100-150%. It was just all eaten up by population growth. Short of sterilising the Indians there was nothing the British could have done to improve GDP per capita.
