On: Gandhi's last words not 'Hey Ram': Book

http://www.rediff.com/news/2008/jan/29gandhi1.htm

Freedom fighters or not? Who are we to question their integrity or their persnal lives? I wonder after all the long years spent in attaining the freedom we only can thank some by digging into their past lives and putting them through more 'shame' than 'fame'.

Its a real pity in the world where we need to rise above all this and increase literacy we want to discuss the private lives of great personalities. Whatever and whoever they were, indeed they were freedom fighters.

Can we name one politician or ordinary man who can go to this extent and fight for real? I would say the journalists should not throw light on petty issues, dig some real facts or dont say much to reward them with shame.
