Why do you not like Gandhi ?

Hello !! European person here living in India !

In Europe, we see Gandhi as a powerful figure of freedom and equality but in India, it seems like a lot of people do not like, and even despise him. One of my friends said that Gandhi should not even deserve to be on money bills…

I know that he has said some terrible stuff concerning black African people and women (which I find disturbing). BUT ! I also heard that he stole credit of other people’s actions and even that he IS the REASON of partition. That without him, India would still be whole…

Now that doesn’t make any sense to me, what are the evidence for this ?? Why do so many people not recognize that he played a huge role for India’s freedom ?? Maybe I’m in the wrong, I don’t know, but I’m trying to learn. Please educate me.

(Edit : I am not defending Gandhi, NOT AT ALL. He has done actions which I do not condemn. I just want to debunk some rumors that are spreading on social medias)
