You never heard of this Mahatma Gandhi fellow? He apparently was quite
religious, what with all his fasting and constant religious quotations.

Typical Leftist revisionism. Notice how the Leftists were the ones to
oppose
the departure of the British.
I notice that the Leftists don't like to mention that.

Please note that Congress is a Leftist party, which constantly bashes
others
in the name of secularism. But like the rest of the Left, they have
merely
hijacked the word "secular" to promote policies that are the exact
opposite
of secularism. Notice the personality cult organized around whichever
Nehru
they can find. (If no surviving relatives had been left, the Congressmen

would have trotted out the family dog to install on the throne of
leadership
of their party.)

Likewise, Pakistan had no small role to play in backing the Khalistanis.

Notice how the militancy collapsed once Pakistan had achieved its aims
of
using Punjab militancy to set Kashmir on fire.
Once they had Kashmir on the boil, they dropped the Khalistanis like a
hot
potato.

Leftists are certainly peddlers of mythology. They make it up every day,
and
in every sentence.

We can see how the Leftist bubble has been popped, with their ideology
collapsing worldwide, under the weight of its own fallacies. All those
mile-long breadlines in the days of the USSR, were the clearest proof of

that.

With nothing to show for their ideology, the Leftists now spend their
time
attacking certain ethnic groups, in their ignorant and stubborn
bitterness.
