Pretty sure murder is a monsterous thing to do to a man proclaiming peace and enacting change that the culture and world was ready for (or else he would have just been ignored by the masses). Was Ghandi taking the culture anywhere or was it his followers? How were the ideas not progressive to the culture as a whole? I don't think it's as cut and dry as your manager is making it.

Ghandi was a vehicle for the knowledge but he didn't force or make the culture do anything, the people that comprised the culture were the ones who made that choice. I believe the phrase 'don't kill the messenger' is used for a reason. The murder of Ghandi was cowardice and misdirected hostility.
