Zeus 10/16/19 4:47:25 PM #4:	Well, he was unduly venerated, so it's only fair that he be unduly vilified! His comments are highly offensive by modern standards, but it's not something that wasn't in keeping with 1800s India. Keep in mind he predeceased the PC movement by decades so it's not exactly like he was around to apologize. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:928851640] in It is offi...

legendarylemur 10/16/19 5:10:28 PM #12:	You can't always judge every person in history and other places by your own standards. Sometimes a certain universal standards can apply, like Columbus being a long revered criminal now vilified. However, you can't honestly downplay Gandhi's achievement as a strong moral role model for the whole world, even if some of his values may be a product of his time. And anybody with half a brain will clearly see Gandhi's life achievements are far more significant and "good" than anything Trump has done all his life.
