The voice of resistance and opposition to all that's represented by the imperialism of the U.S. , Europe and Israel on one side and the reactionary religious fundamentalism of Iran 's Islamic Republic on the other must grow louder. The only political forces on the world stage cannot continue to be these clashing reactionary and outmoded forces. Most especially, the reckless lying predators who rule this country must be resisted—and stopped

It is a very questionable motive to start the online poll as who is the 'greatest' Indian after Gandhi.
