"I was not aware of Hitler being responsible for the killings of six million people before the shop's inauguration. This time I will choose a non-controversial name."

Mr Chandani says the shop's name was a tribute to his grandfather who was nicknamed Hitler because he was "very strict".

I'm a Malayali/Keralaite and we have a movie named Hitler

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler_(1996_film)

The story centres around the life of Madhavankutty, locally known as 'Hitler' due to his tough character, domineering personality and his uncontrolled rage at the youngsters of the area, for stalking his five young sisters.

I've heard it was because the liberals pushed the belief that Hitler (and Gandhi) were the two most responsible for independence from the British

In the case of Hitler because he weakened GB enough that the colonies could free themselves

True?
