While people like former judge of Supreme Court Markandeya Katju strongly believes that Mahatma Gandhi’s role in the freedom fight doesn’t deserve any appreciation and his ‘Satyagraha’ is a meaningless, the British government which was forced to quit India because of Mahatma Gandhi’s freedom struggle, honored him by installing his bronze statue at parliament square in London. His statue was installed adjacent to iconic leaders like Winston Churchill and Nelson Mandela.

This is first time that British government has installed a statute of any Indian leader. British Prime Minister David Cameron and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley unveiled the statue in the presence of his ministers and parliament members., Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan, Mahatma Gandhi's grandson Gopalkrishna Gandhi and many prominent persons from Indian origin in London have attended this function.

"This statue is a magnificent tribute to one of the most towering figures in the history of world politics and by putting Mahatma Gandhi in this famous Square we are giving him an eternal home in our country. This statue celebrates the incredibly special friendship between the world's oldest democracy and its largest, as well as the universal power of Gandhi's message,” said Cameron.

This is revealing that entire world including the British government has recognized Mahatma Gandhi as a great leader and acknowledging his peaceful freedom fight. But unfortunately, people like Markandeya Katju have very poor opinion about the great leaders, who sacrificed their lives for the country.
