My mom brings it up from time to time. It’s important to recognize I think that the zealots in power today belong to the same ideology, and they were pissed at Gandhi because he wanted a united, secular India.
Honestly, it’s something more people should know about. Granted, I don’t know a ton of Indian history but I probably still know more about India than most Americans (I know Uttar Pradesh is the most populous state but don’t ask me to point it out on a map).
I can hardly say I’m an expert myself. No one can be well versed in the modern history of every country, don’t be too hard on yourself. It’s just good to look up when there are events going on in that country.
