somehow i feel it's the same side. The "establishment" uses whatever is the trendy means. He is a human, not a saint. It's good that people point out stupid things he believed in/did/said - it only humanizes Gandhi.

Can we not be allowed to have heroes without someone mentioning that they go to the toilet the same as us?

Of course. Does all heroes need to be saints? I think not.

I notice this also. I wonder whether it's part of the general policy that seems to be prevalent of keeping the public in an ongoing state of confusion.
