Gandhi The Rise to Fame - British Propaganda - BBC Documentary 1/8

In the second part of the series, Mishal Husain (Pakistani origin) traces Gandhi's transformation from obscure lawyer to father of the nation and discovers a more complicated and intriguing man than the saintly Hollywood version. Gandhi had to face unpopularity, political failure and British jails. But in 1930 he triumphs - launching the most astute campaign of the age -the 240-mile Salt March that succeeded in humiliating the British Raj. This program is telecasted in BBC around Gandhi Jayanthi year 2009. It's one of the best and reasonable effort to find flaws in Gandhi.

The brits made it rich by looting the colonial India. Now, BBC wants to do a so called "most researched" effort to find flaws in Gandhi. I wonder what is the motive behind it? What value it provides? W/o Gandhi, India may still be a colony of Briton or might find itself like a poorest British colony as many states are in Africa. I still dream of the the greater India which included India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and even Burma (before 1940).

thanks a lot for uploading this. I'm sure it's a great help to others like me who are actually trying to study Gandhi.
