It was Morarji Desai not Gandhi who drank his own urine.
Gandhi was a great man.One Great Man Who Believed in Truth and Non Violence.Deal with it.The greatness of a man is realized when his life influences and inspires people to change for the better.

It was a joke. He's a comedian. Don't take yourselves so seriously. And Colbert is way better than Stewart. Posted 09/07/2008 10:38 AMReply

Gandhi's non-violence movement was a FARCE. He was a naked little lying bugger and a shrewd politician who supported every war of his time and was obsessed with fornication out of wedlock. Posted 03/07/2009 3:12 PMReply
