Gandhi was not exactly a bad person. But he certainly was not a saint as people portray him to be either. While he was a major player in the struggle for independence, attributing India's independence to Gandhi is a bit misleading. I ll enlist my reasons.
1) While Bhagat Singh and co's antics brought a rise of nationalism among the indian public, it was Subash Chandra Bose who tried to harness it in an organized fashion. His Indian National Army gained huge numbers even though his methods were openly criticized by Gandhi. It is rumored that the Indian National Army, at its peak had close to 100000 people enrolled in it.
While the true impact of the INA is up in the air, it should be noted that Clement Attlee, the British prime minister at the time of India's Independence, attributes the weakening of British Raj more to INA than Gandhi's movements.
2) Take a look at Gandhi's major Freedom movements viz Non-Cooperation (NCP) , Civil Disobedience (CD) and Quit India (QI). All these movements gathered masses and momentum before suddenly petering out. The simple tactic which the British followed was to arrest the major leaders and the crowd, due to the lack of direction, eventually petered out.
So attributing the independence of India to Gandhi(as well as INC) is a bit unfair as the independence struggle involved so many other people over a period of time.
3) Gandhi took non-violence to a whole new level. He was strongly against violence even if it was for self-defense. His argument that the Jews should have submitted themselves to Hitler instead of resisting him during Holocaust provoked widespread criticism.
This is the exact quote:
“Hitler killed five million Jews. It is the greatest crime of our time. But the Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher’s knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from cliffs.” ~ George Orwell’s “Reflections on Gandhi,” Partisan Review, Jan. 1949
4) Gandhi declared himself a celibate when he was 36. But there are stories that, even at his old age, Gandhi used to conduct 'experiments' by sleeping with younger women in order to demonstrate how much control he had over his carnal urges.
This is the link for that.
Sexual torment of a saint: A new book reveals Gandhi tortured himself with the young women who worshipped him, and often shared his bed
This particular experimenting is something which can be classified as a gray area. It is his personal desires and it didn't directly impact the freedom struggle.
