Reply #31: If you are at all interested in what George Orwell actually had to say about him...

"Reflections on Gandhi" http://www.netcharles.com/orwell/essays/gandhi.htm

"Of late years it has been the fashion to talk about Gandhi as though he were not only sympathetic to the Western Left-wing movement, but were integrally part of it. Anarchists and pacifists, in particular, have claimed him for their own, noticing only that he was opposed to centralism and State violence and ignoring the other-worldly, anti-humanist tendency of his doctrines."

The rest is short, informed reading. I recommend it.
