Somewhat more complicated than that. Much of the political landsape that Gandhi worked within was established through outright violence. He was a productive leader to his people, I'll give him that. And he has certainly become a cult personality.
Good points, mixedmedia.
Its curious how he acknowledged young, naked girls as the embodiment of sexual temptation. Do we know for certain that he in fact abstained from carnal relations with young girls? Was his biographer present and bedside each and every night? Perhaps he was less abstinent than previously thought. Perhaps this was the source of the foul treatment he conveyed upon his wife? Perhaps these nocturnal releases with young harlots were the source of his...lack of aggression. Thinking aloud here.
