Who would have thought that Mahatma Gandhi's own words would one day be characterized as revisionist history in the service of an ideology that was so utterly alien to him - especially, an ideology that is obsessed with blatantly and shamelessly revising the history of an illegal war over a meager span of two years. Regarding the rest of what this poster, Mario, has written in his last post on this thread, he seems to have once again found comfort in demonizing his detractor. The "Thanksgiving Pledge" that he oh-so solemnly affirmed in this forum seems to have not been sincere enough after all. Please witness his transparent attempts to unjustifiably and dishonorably smear me, his detractor, all simply because I posted some genuine quotes from the writings of Mahatma Gandhi, which contradicted his misguided notions regarding the Mahatma: "I am glad that you (Santosh) think that the Japanese Imperialists were a benign and peace-loving power that India could have negotiated with. You (Santosh) are probably outraged that the US did not clap their hands in glee after Pearl Harbor, and exclaim about what wonderful people the Japanese were." - Quote from Mario Goveia's writings "I'm glad you (Santosh) think that the Chinese, who were invaded and brutalized by the Japanese, should have just layed back and enjoyed the rape of their country." - Quote from Mario Goveia's writings "By an extension of your reasoning, you (Santosh) must be quite pleased that the Jews in Germany and Poland went peacefully to the Nazi gas chambers without any resistence. I guess it never occurred to them to negotiate with the Nazis." - Quote from Mario Goveia's writings "I wonder what advice you (Santosh) had for the Nazis, the Viet Cong, Pol Pot, Stalin, Mao Tse Tung and Saddam Hussein? With friends like you, their victims certainly did not need enemies." - Quote from Mario Goveia's writings Most other Goanetters would have simply admitted that they were wrong or just stated their disagreement with Mahatma Gandhi's views, as evident from his quotes.
