Gandhi was a convenient personality for the British to allow to be worshipped. The white world liked the idea of this peaceful protestor who poses no immediate threat. The British didnt leave India because of Gandhi, but because they had already taken from her what she could give, and the political atmosphere was getting increasingly hostile. This was fuelled by non-peaceful revolutionaries. Gandhi just delayed the independence movement by at least 5 decades.

Finally! I would just like to add that celibacy is not necessarily only about making young teenage girls lie naked next to you, this is NOT a hindu practice---please don't let Gandhiji be the benchmark for being brahmachari. I would also like to say that he is not the benchmark for all Hindus, and we certainly don't venerate him or treat him like a saint. He is the father of our nation and he is thus treated with due respect based on the national status he holds.

I think it should be noted that he never really stood up for womens' rights and their empowerment. For example, in his famous Dandi march, he had forbidden women to take part. They however, did take part because of the Sarojini Naidu who persuaded him to do so. At the age of 13-14 after he had got married he had explicitly told his wife to never go out of the house without his prior permission. It does not end there. He also thought that it was always the fault of women when they got raped and also they should never fight their rapists. he also stated that the jews in germany should "jump off a clip" and thus refrain from using violence in defending themselves. Also the sole contribution of his towards the indian freedom struggle was that he led to thousands of unnecessary deaths at the hands of the british police which could have been easily avoided by using force and the most important contribution yet was making the arrival of freedom slower, without him and his methods, we would have gotten way long back in our history pursuade

No mention of the fact he refused Western medical assistance for his wife when she was dying. After she died and he got an illness, he requested Western medicine, which saved his life.
