This question reflected the sentiments expressed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e by Mahatma Gandhi in 1948 in what was perhaps the last letter written by him. He wrote three\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e days before his assassination that the Congress in its current form had 'outlived its use' and should\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e be disbanded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e What would Bharat of today be like had Mahatma Gandhi's call for disbandment of the Congress\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e been heeded?

Indians need to be presented with raw, unbiased, unfiltered, historically accurate information so that they can use their\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e own judgement and walk the path towards the new India.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This is the first-ever rethink of how different India would have been, if not for the Congress party\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e being at the helm for the most part of the last 80 years.
