Akshaya Mukul writes: Gita Press founders and Gandhi – a relationship turned sour

Akshaya Mukul writes: The figure of Gandhi bore the brunt of their belligerence since he was the only one who professed sanatan dharma, and yet kept his doors and windows open to progressive ideas. Gandhi’s constant evolution was the fly in the ointment.

Gandhi Godse: Ek Yudh is a Delusional Film, a Dull Revisionist History

Rajkumar Santoshi’s film makes a tectonic revision to Indian history — what if Gandhi survived Godse’s three bullets, and then, meeting him after, reformed his worldview, while learning a thing or two about being less stuck up?

This is the kind of good-intentioned writing and filmmaking that can be described as naive at best, and delusional at worst.
