Playback singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya, who is famous for his association with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, recently sparked controversy with his remarks on Mahatma Gandhi during a podcast with Shubhankar Mishra.

The singer claimed, “Music composer R. D. Burman was bigger than Mahatma Gandhi. Like Mahatma Gandhi was the father of the nation, R. D. Burman was the father of the nation in the world of music.” He further added, “Mahatma Gandhi was the father of the nation for Pakistan, not India. India already existed; Pakistan was carved out of India later. Gandhi has been mistakenly called the father of the nation for India. He was the one responsible for the existence of Pakistan.”

The comments have drawn sharp criticism, as Gandhi is widely recognized for his leadership in India's independence movement, promoting nonviolence and inspiring global civil rights efforts.

I'm pretty agnostic on him, neither revere, nor hate .. neti neti

I don't think anybody really cares about Gandhi in this day and age.. his legacy is kept alive coz they keep plastering his face on our currency.. Gandhi is slang for 500 rupaiya ka note.

Rahul and co should go back to using the original spelling of their name, Ghandy.

Modi should stop doing 2nd October fasaad at rajghaat and stop taking foreign dignitaries ands politicians for zabardasti laying a wreath.

Gandhi's picture on currency notes is a trivial issue most don't care about.

Real reason people remember Gandhi is as follows:

Every year government job and college job Indians get a holiday on Gandhi Jayanti. Does this holiday apply to private sector also?

I heard this joke (about Gandhi being the reason for holiday) way back in 2001-02. Shall I post the YouTube channel of who said that joke?

People are now speaking plain truth without adulteration. Now a days, people do not like politically correct furnished statements.
