Also I believe to some people Ronald Regan would be a favorite political figure

It's been 10 years since we lost you. RIP, you were the finest President of the 20th Century

I am not an expert in this subject, but one of my Indian friends had a lot of legal trouble, after he shared a link to a similar article (not sure whether it was the same article posted by you or not) in his Facebook profile. He was fired from his job, an FIR was filed against him, and the cops took him to custody accusing him of inciting hatred.

I have also read in some books but right now giving you this link hope its helps you for your knowledge http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1264952/A-new-book-reveals-Gandhi-tortured-young-women-worshipped-shared-bed.html

That sounds really creepy,can you tell us were read this ,maybe a link?Thanks

Oh, what do you like most about Gandhi?

He seems alright but I don't think non-violent methods can achieve much when you are faced with a violent and unethical enemy who would use force and violence against you... He was lucky the brits were more empathetic and are focusing on a policy of decolonization during that era. Imagine if he used that tactic to try to gain independence from China or Russia.. Lol I don't think it would have ended well.

i found the most creepy thing about gandhi is that he slept nude in bed with his granddaughter, to test his will against sexual desires.. wtf?

The Indian history is written by the British.

They will do all they could to discredit anti-British Indian leaders such as Subhas Chandra Bose and Prem Sahgal, while praising the pro-British activists such as Nehru and Gandhi.

nope, it's lost in history
but some of his friends called him "The Bob" I think, don't think it was his name though

Historian is giving all credits to Ghandhi.

His non-violent campaign was an utter failure. It was the more aggressive campaigns by Indians such as Subhash Chandra Bose which gave India freedom from the British. The policies of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi on the other hand caused millions of civilian deaths in the post-independence religious riots.

I would like to ad another great name Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Oct. 2, 1869-Jan. 30, 1948) used non-violent civil disobedience to lead the second most populous nation in the world, India, to independence from the occupying British.

Yes,Spartacus,he had a lot of courage to do what he did and it that time when Romans were ruling the world..... i am curious,did they found out his real name?

Russia tried so hard to erase Genghis Khan from history and discredits his genius and achievements. Usually the victor writes the history but in mongol's case it was written by the loser. That why they demonize the mongols.
 
Most of the time his army is outnumbered. He uses deception, superior tactics, superior weapons, great mobility, experienced and discipline soldiers to win almost every war. He uses extensive intelligence network before they conquer a kingdom.  

The mongols can survive from the horse milk and blood. They don't need to cook they just put the meat under than saddle to soften the meat and eaten raw. They can travel 300 kilometers in 3 days. Each soldier brings a thick fermented milk that can fed them for 10 days. They can live off the land and needs very little supply. Each mongol army brings 5 horses each. Each mongol army wears silk under the armor to make the arrow that pierced the armor can be easily remove without further wound. They also uses gunpowder and smoke.

The mongol commander usually on top of the hill where he can see the whole view of the battle field and give commands using flags and drums while those Europeans commanders fights besides his soldiers.

The knights with their flashy armors has no chance against the mongol superior tactics. The mongols divided their forces and attack Poland to make a diversion. Most of the European armies are just a sitting ducks. If the mongol is serious in conquering Europe the can conquer it with no problems. While half of the mongol army conquer Europe the other half was also conquering china.

exaclty
he conquered half of Europe
so many lives and economies he destroyed
you're just making my point

My favorite political figure is B.J. Habibie
He is a very intelligent statesman.
I was amazed by his intelligence, especially in the field of technology.
aircraft of his work include N-250.

Historically I would say Genghis Kahn, he made some really good achievements and was a wise man of the time he lived in. 
In the present I would say the only non-puppet and only reasonable politician out there: Vladimir Putin - wants peace, is intelligent, isn't an insane dictator like obama

Genghis Khan

He created a peace called pax mongolica that help the social, cultural, and economic life of the inhabitants of the vast Eurasian territory that the Mongols conquered. It help ease the communication and commerce. He and his predecessors create trade routes that link West to East. He created a much faster pony express. He promote/choose based on your merits and loyalty not by lineage. He does not discriminate religions.
