| Sep 19, 2013 at 19:33 | comment | added | matt_black | @Sancho The context of the quote looks like it is intended to imply that even Gandhi had some sneaking respect for Hitler and that is how many are likely to read it. I think that good answers rather than any big questions address the issue (and we already have a good one). | |

replace "fair" with "accurate"

| Sep 18, 2013 at 15:43 | comment | added | Zano | This is an obvious example of quote mining. The full context would make it absolutely clear what the intended meaning was (per @DJClayworth's answer). It seems that the author used some shady tactics here, 'mirite? | |
| Sep 18, 2013 at 14:19 | comment | added | matt_black | @WilliamGrobman The implied message of the quote does suggest that claim. I asked the question to test whether more context would clarify this (and there is already an answer that does). I posed the question because a good answer would help clarify Gandhi's views and avoid (possible) misuse of a potentially selective quote. | |

| Sep 18, 2013 at 13:42 | comment | added | William Grobman | I don't see a notable claim that Gandhi believed anything about Hitler other than what Germans would think of him. | |
| Sep 18, 2013 at 11:30 | comment | added | Aeronth | Assuming he did write that, it doesn't mean that he admired Hitler himself. | |
