Poll question: Jawaharlal Nehru or Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi?






I like Gandhi and all, but he did have some pretty weird ideas (ex. how the Jews should have resisted Hitler) and I always liked how Nehru was a stalward Atheist.

1. Gandhi: statues in NYC, Honolulu, and doubtless elsewhere. Nehru: jacket in consignment shop.
Gandhi FTW.

Gandhi also had some pretty strange ideas in some areas

But the reason of Nehru was a big factor in their (Indian Independence Movement) success...
