Ghandi!

While wandering around the great interwebs I ran across an interesting post (http://http//mystupiddog.blogspot.com/2003_06_08_archive.html#200410435) where a guy describes what happens sometimes when you look behind the scenes at someone revered in history. The subject of the article is Mohandas Ghandi. Tim, the author, describes how he became disillusioned when he realized some of Ghandi's failings.

In a nutshell no provision was made for post victory planning. As a result after the withdrawal of the Empire a religious war broke out between the Hindus and Muslims that has continued to this day, although much more low key now than earlier. The religious war was only contained after the modern republic that is India today was founded.

In short I think it is well worth your time to read it.
