John, Your knowledge of Indian history is impressive. I'm no fan of Gandhi - he had his strenghts and his weaknesses like any human being. However, I maintain that he was influential in India's quest for independance from the British Empire. Re Pakistan, yes that was a Jinnah led effort, and Gandhi was not successful in his attempt to stop it. It was inevitable at the time, and Gandhi essentially said "let there be 2 countries if that has to happen, but let us live in peace together". The latter part of his statement has been conveniently forgotten over the years.
