What is your views on Mahatma Gandhi's politics?

I think it depends on the situation. The Mahatma is rightly idealised in India because he managed to get Independence from the British through non-violent means. Although India's Independence was in actual fact not that NON violent, things could have been worse and unlike China, India has managed to remain a functioning democracy where it's people, even the poorest peasents have the right to tell its politicians to get stuffed. And now, India's economy is growing so there are reasons to celebrate.

People who followed his examples have done well. Look at Nelson Mandela who managed to get South Africa free of arpatheid with minimal bloodshed or Martin Luthor.

However, we have to look at the context that the Mahatma worked in. He lead 300 million plus Indians against 100,000 Englishmen. The 100,000 Englishmen could not rule the 300 million Indians because the 300 million outnumbered them and simply refused to cooperate. Imagine if the situation had been reveresed. In Tibet, the Dalai Lama is trying Gandhi's techniques but it's 6 million Tibetans against 1 billion Chinese, and unlike the gentlemanly British who could not stand the sight of their own people behaving badly against non-violent protestors, the Beijing government has no qualms shooting unarmed demonstrators, even to the International media if need be.

Secondly, the Mahatma's economic policies were a disaster. They encouraged India to become "Self-Sufficient" and India was shut out from the global economy for decades, keeping people poor and forcing them to swallow inferior goods. India has started boom ever since it opened its economy.
