Definitely. Gandhi would have started a second struggle to free the villages 
from central domination. We would have had thousands of republics 
independent and yet dependent on each other. That would have gone against 
the capitalist interests and so he was silenced by the gun. But Truth 
remains the Truth, no matter what the government does to conceal it. 
Operation green hunt and jailing Binayak Sen is not going to curb dissent, 
it will only increase it. This nation will pay dearly for its economic 
greed. We are a billion people and not in millions like the west. We need 
food and water security, not uranium, armament and computer technology. 
India's green revolution may have created a short term surplus of food but 
it has poisoned the land and water and rendered it unproductive in the long 
run. Punjab is a victim of fertilizers and pesticides. Looks like China will 
bring India to its senses sooner or later.
