Why India's Hindu hardliners want to sideline Mahatma Gandhi?

 Why India's Hindu hardliners want to sideline Mahatma Gandhi? Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated on this day 78 years ago but his ideas of Hindu-Muslim unity still haunt India's Hindu hardliners. The discomfort of the Hindu hardline right with Mahatma Gandhi became apparent once again when a senior leader of the governing Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) recently described Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a "bigger brand name" than the iconic leader of India's freedom struggle. The irony was not lost on anyone because the government department in question is responsible for popularising handmade cotton yarn or khadi - one of Gandhi's pet themes during India's freedom struggle.

Etymology  Meaning Nir  = without, beyond. Vikalpa  = distinction, differentiation, thought-construction, imagination, or mental modification. Samādhi  = complete absorption, integration, or union (from sam + ā + dhā, "to put together completely"). In this state, the usual division between knower, known, and knowing collapses. There is no subject-object duality, no egoic "I," no perception of the world or body as separate, and often no recording of the experience in ordinary memory (similar to deep sleep but with full awareness of pure existence/consci...
