Containing this nugget:

A lot of people will find it ridiculous to even imagine that Gandhi was more violent than Hitler? Are you serious when you say that?
n Yes. Though Gandhi didn’t support killing, his actions helped the British imperialists to stay in India longer. This is something Hitler never wanted. Gandhi didn’t do anything to stop the way the British empire functioned here.
For me, that is a problem.

It's hard to take this kind of hyperbole seriously, esp. from someone who claims the title 'philosopher.'  Public intellectuals need to speak carefully. Sure, it is worth considering Gandhi's actions critically, but he is not directly responsible for the slaughter of 6 million people. Don't stretch your equivocations and metaphors to the point of absurdity. It gives all of philosophy a bad name.
