Gandhi and Savarkar: Remembering Differing Visions

Gandhi and Savarkar: Remembering Differing Visions

Imagine India's leaders as people who had very different ideas about how to make India free.

Some, like Gandhi, believed in peace, while others, like Savarkar, favored different methods.

A recent poster put them together, causing people to discuss if this is right.

The article explains how countries throughout history remember rivals together.

For example, Rome, South Africa and America did it.

The article explains that India, like these other countries, includes people with opposing ideas in its national history.

It shows that the country's history includes many voices, even if they disagreed.
