This is with reference to a post on the face book which is not noteworthy, as much as the comments thereto are. It is a reflection  of  what the young generation thinks about Gandhi. They are wrong or they are  right or they are neither, is not the point. Point is this little that Gandhi himself was a follower of a doctrine but the so called Gandhians have erred in bypassing  and thereby enveloping that doctrine from the vision of the followers, in their misadventure,  projecting Gandhi as an original preceptor that he was not.
To be more clear, let me tell you that you or even I do have some philosophical allegiance with something that you or I consider great. Now if the practitioner attains or is projected as  having attained some success,  it is not the practitioner's deeds liable to be projected as any self sustaining doctrine, overlapping that doctrine which the practioner himself was dedicated to, as a practitioner (rather than as an adept).
This is where Gandhi stands overlapped by the half baked doctrine that Gandhism purports to be, bereft of the source that powered  it.
Gandhi drew inspiration from Bhagwat Gita. He practised it. You may even take an exaggerated view to say he mastered it, but at least dont project each word of Gandhi as biblically eternal, especially when there are umpteen number of instances reflecting naivety on the part of those including Nehru whom posterity will never excuse as long as Pakistan, Kashmir and like issues continue to  haunt India ; and the Indians continue to be persecuted unendingly.
