GANDHIJI WAS MADE HERO OF OUR FREEDOM BY THE BRITISH PEOPLE. ONLY PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY WEAK PEOPLE CHOSE THE WAY OF NON VIOLENCE TO DEAL WITH THEIR ENEMY.

You should read his auto-biography.
There is a four part song in Hindi "soono soono hey duniya wallo bapujiki amer kahani" Get it and listen to it, it is on long playing record by Mahmud Rafick.
Some have given wrong answers and at that very troubling ones.
"Gandhiji", was kill by an agitated young Hindu, believe the name was Natharam Ghodse. He got hanging for it. He did have some tattoo that may have initialy identified him as muslime, but he was an Hindu Brahmani.
He repented a great deal about the outrage, and momentary insanity before the hanging.
Google and World wide web both should have lots of info on Gandhi.

Dear friend ,I am a guy from India. I want u to know about the other side of him.He is not all that personality as hyped about.He is just like any other freedom fighter,who is fortunate enough to pluck the fruits of a tree planted long ago.Moreover the greatest blunder he had commited was to divide the Bharat in to India & pakistan.He lacked the foresight of a great leader.This great blunder still remains a thorn in india's flesh.For more i would recomend u to read his Auto Biography.

BIOGRAPHY OF MAHATMA GANDHI : Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869 in Porbandar, India. He became one of the most respected spiritual and political leaders of the 1900's. GandhiJI helped free the Indian people from British rule through nonviolent resistance, and is honored by Indians as the father of the Indian Nation.
The Indian people called Gandhiji 'Mahatma', meaning Great Soul. At the age of 13 Gandhi married Kasturba, a girl the same age. Their parents arranged the marriage. The Gandhis had four children. Gandhi studied law in London and returned to India in 1891 to practice. In 1893 he took on a one-year contract to do legal work in South Africa.
At the time the British controlled South Africa. When he attempted to claim his rights as a British subject he was abused, and soon saw that all Indians suffered similar treatment. Gandhi stayed in South Africa for 21 years working to secure rights for Indian people.
He developed a method of action based upon the principles of courage, nonviolence and truth called Satyagraha. He believed that the way people behave is more important than what they achieve. Satyagraha promoted nonviolence and civil disobedience as the most appropriate methods for obtaining political and social goals. In 1915 Gandhi returned to India. Within 15 years he became the leader of the Indian nationalist movement.
Using the principles of Satyagraha he led the campaign for Indian independence from Britain. Gandhi was arrested many times by the British for his activities in South Africa and India. He believed it was honorable to go to jail for a just cause. Altogether he spent seven years in prison for his political activities.
More than once Gandhi used fasting to impress upon others the need to be nonviolent. India was granted independence in 1947, and partitioned into India and Pakistan. Rioting between Hindus and Muslims followed. Gandhi had been an advocate for a united India where Hindus and Muslims lived together in peace.
On January 13, 1948, at the age of 78, he began a fast with the purpose of stopping the bloodshed. After 5 days the opposing leaders pledged to stop the fighting and Gandhi broke his fast. Twelve days later a Hindu fanatic, Nathuram Godse who opposed his program of tolerance for all creeds and religion assassinated him.
