For history changes sides over time and what is politically correct today may look entirely wrong tomorrow. That is why, in any society, the voice of the rebel who expresses a radical and what sounds like a deviant point of view must be listened to. The mainstream view does not always remain in fashion and the offbeat view may be accepted as legit if it is seen to be persecuted enough. That's why no one protested when the Gujarati version was staged for months. The moment the Marathi version was passed by the censors and was about to be staged, it became a huge issue.
Suppression always evokes curiosity.
Repression breeds resistance and protest. The voice of the radical minority always emerges as an alternative to mainstream beliefs when it is forcefully silenced. That is why the biggest disservice we can do to the memory of the Mahatma is to silence his critics. His ideas are strong enough to stand on their own. They don't need government support and patronage.
