00:00You are blaming him for India's partition. How is he to be blamed? What more could he have done to
00:05avert partition?
00:06If there was one man who said India will not be partitioned, it was Gandhi.
00:10But when the fires of communalism have been stoked to that extent that you have de facto genocides going on,
00:17what do you do?
00:18So many lakhs have already been killed. How many more are to be killed?
00:22Once the two communities have been deeply steeped in hatred against each other, partition became inevitable.
00:28That's not in your hands. People don't want to stay with each other. How can you force them to stay
00:33with each other?
00:34And even if we are to say that had Gandhi acted differently, partition could have been avoided.
00:39So we can criticize him for that. But criticism is one thing.
00:44Bituperative slander is totally different.
