Some of the most pertinent accusations leveled against Gandhi by his critics are his obsessive adherence to Hinduism and its implications on the national cause, his mixing of religion and politics, his exhibitionism, his contradictions, and his excessive appeasement to Muslims but not to the untouchables. Their failure to do what is ri
