Gandhi and you!

it was interesting to read varied comments about freedom in our country. Some of it was worth discussing it in class. most of you sound very idealistic. i sincerely hope by the time u finish ur college and start your adult life our country becomes truly free.
This week's topic is on gandhiji. On his birthday i wd like to know your comments abt Gandhi? As post-independent modern era children, Gandhi is history book figure. you must have read abt him, seen movies abt him. Comment abt gandhi. Dont give me text bk answers like 'he is father of our nation' etc. i wd like your honest opinion on Gandhi. There were criticisms against Gandhi at different points of time. so nothing wrong if u are critical. if u too believe he was a mahatma, tell me why you think so.
by the way, i wd like every one to comment on every posting. absentees on lab classes need not comment if the topic is on lab activity, like a review writing. for common topics like gandhiji and freedom of speech, i wd like to know all ur comments.

freedom of speech??

Hi guys
I got 34 comments, what abt others? Many students did not specify the professions but quite a few got it right. Read thru your comments! It was interesting to note varied comments ranging from interesting to not so interesting and interesting only in parts and non-existent humour(swathi)! It is each one’s preference so no issues. But still was the humour non-existent? And Swathi why use the word hypocrisy? By the way who is govindarajan? Good start for the first posting. Hope u all continue to be vocal in the coming weeks.
