Beautiful....

Already posted, my friend. In your eagerness to find something anti-India, you forgot to use the similar threads feature.

I hope it doesn't mess up the ecology of the islands. Lakshdweep islands are coral islands and are extremely sensitive to ecological changes.

As of now, I only find the likes of Ahmed Quareishi reporting this news. So its BS, if not reported by neutral sources.

A lot of people did. Enough to make the British sit up and take the notice. Plus as other posters here have stated, there were other factors at play as well. I am not knowledgeable enough of the civil rights movement to commandingly state if it did enough. In my opinion it must have done...

But where was this loss of control coming from? People were refusing to go to work, Armymen were deserting. This is fighting, if nothing else. Nope. If you are trying to understand his methodology I would recommend you read his autobiography. He said fight, but not with your hands. The same as...

@Ajtr - besides your obvious flaming motivations, do you agree with all the contents of your post?

'more important'. Lets not diminish the man's contribution that easily, shall we? I understand from your posts that you might think that we Indians overrate him. Maybe you're right and things could have turned out differently if Bose had been victorious. INA would have been credited with freeing...

Can we compare the two? One is an emotion, other is a personality. Gandhi couldn't have been so great a leader if not for his nationalistic feelings. And his followers couldn't be just driven by blind support for one person if not for their nationalistic passions. But yes, nationalism is a...

From what I heard, Bacha Khan's movement was heavily influenced by Gandhi's ideals. So in a indirect way Gandhi could was responsible for the Khudai Khidmatgars. And of course, Gandhi did stick by his ideals and halted protests when they turned violent. Read about the Chauri-Chaura incident...

Not Bose. I meant other peaceful movements that followed. Bose's ideology diverged from Gandhi's after a few years in the INC.

By being a building block and precursor to larger movements that came much later. I am not an expert on Gandhi but his defiance on the salt plains of Dandi surely got people to rally with him. Not to forget the amount of global attention that his methods brought, thus increasing the pressure and...

Well we Punjabis aren't too fond of Gandhi either. He wouldn't be winning any favorite freedom fighter poll amongst us. Something about his non-violent methods that felt alien to us. :) But I respect the man for his convictions, his belief in his ideals and his ability to generate mass support...

You are entitled to your opinion, thats fair. Bose was willing to use whatever means necessary to rid India of the British yoke. He was a nationalist who didn't mind eschewing violence to get his motives. From his perspective, as long as the country could be free it didn't matter who...

Yup, the same guy. He tried desperate measures to get the British out,. From raising an army of Indian PoWs of Japan in SE Asia to asking Nazi Germany for help, he did it all.

Whats wrong with you?

He is second to none.

Correct. GoI should have stepped in sooner.

How cynical can one get? So India is to be blamed for Kashmiri Pandits fleeing the valley with their families and leaving their possessions behind. I am sure the Jihadis had no part to play in it.

Rants, rants and more rants. Thousands of Pandits have been forced to flee their homes and your deluded mind talks of ethnic cleansing and Hindu colonies in Kashmir. Seriously, where do you get these brain-haired ideas from?
