He was doubtless an integral part of India's struggle for freedom. However, there was already a freedom movement going on when Gandhi joined up. With Great Britain at the point of giving up most of her empire at the end of WWII, India would have probably won its independence without him.

However, Gandhi was a hero in the fact that he championed peaceful civil disobedience and brought about the independence and the later separation of Hindi and Muslim populations in what was probably the best, least violent way possible considering the circumstances.

Yep. Most people do: he was instrumental in getting India's independence from Great Britain.

Now all you guys have to do is figure out how to keep it. That would include (1) taking better care of your people (2) taking better care of your environment (3) ensuring that your financial institutions and courts are honest, by _western_ standards
(4) making sure that your government agencies are incorruptable (5) making sure that everyone actually follows the law.

Ghandi definately pushed India one level further towards the cause of freedom, from the British particularly, but there will never be real freedom in India until everyone is thought as equal, and not put into castes.
