Mohit, I respect you a lot-- and as a teacher, with students you have a level of authority-- that you can shift things in whatever direction you deem fit-- for the benefit of classroom. However, when there is a peer-group-- a community of equals-- then it is important to respect it-- and not behave like a schoolmaster with a bunch of obedient villagers-- school-master can randomly change topics to his own political and academic agenda-- and incase someone argues-- the teacher can ask him to get out of the class. When even Mahatma Gandhi's rivals-- agree about Gandhi's influence and greatness-- you are nobody to say "dont compare Stallman with Gandhi as Gandhi is controversial". Mahatma Gandhi is father of our nation-- who got us freedom through non violence and truth inspite of his human limitations-- and created a nation that is secular and campaigned against untouchability-- otherwise India would have been a religious state filled with sectarian and religious hate and violence. Even his political rivals now agree on Mahatma Gandhi's contribution-- so you should please show some respect to our nation's founding fathers.
