In this movie that I have watched, in my opinion Gandhi is not the one who are supposed to be blame for his son death. If you watch this movie in the early hours, maybe you will said that Gandhi is the cruel father and not focusing on his elder son Harilal and I also think on that also, but after a few hours I watched that movie which is Gandhi My Father, i realized that Gandhi is very responsible and caring father towards his son Harilal. First we see why Gandhi didn't send Harilal to England to further his study? it is because he know the capability of Harilal in education is not so good, its show when Harilal after that fail three times in his exam. So Gandhi can see which field Harilal can succeed in his lives so he ask Harilal to support him in order to fight British leadership in India because Gandhi see the advantage that Harilal have is can speak and influence people.
Next we can see how hard Gandhi to persuade Harilal to bring his family lives with him but Harilal refuse to follow his father and keep telling Gandhi that he can do by his own feet even though he has failed for so many times. Instead Harilal ignore Gandhi time to time because he felt that Gandhi is not taking a good care of him but Gandhi as a good father still concern about Harilal by ask his wife how about Harilal lives day to day even though he has to think about his country at the same time. Harilal also sell cloth that are imported from England even though Gandhi has already told the Indian people to burn all the cloth that came from England. Its true that Harilal try to help his family to get a better lives, but Gandhi already ask him to fight against British, but Harilal refused to do that just because he is very ego person.

that's right! Gandhi is very responsible and caring father towards his son Harilal.
