For a commoner to accept that MK Gandhi was a dictator- is a mountain-breaking challenge; and it requires presenting before them voluminous analysis of Gandhi's political history and ideological hypocrisy.
The task is further obstructed due to the title of Mahatma (the noble soul) he has been bestowed with by his political party Indian National Congress.
The dictatorial ideological hooliganism of Gandhi followers to validate any point of view through the lens of Gandhism is certainly a case of shameless dictatorship by people who may or may not have the muscle but certainly don't lack the zeal to control others' thought processes.
Such people will not hesitate stooping to tell you the ways how from waking up to getting abed you should do everything the Gandhi way.
What would Gandhi do in a given scenario- and if you don't do it that way, they would not fall short of humiliating you to the level you start hating your life.
Most of Gandhi's followers are Congressmen and other inverse secularists but Narendra Modi is an unlikely Gandhi fan.
Maintaining personal and social hygiene is a natural choice of a sane person. If something has to be attributed as the inspiration for the same, Hinduism extensively and other religions' scriptures like Judaism or Zorastrianism or Shintoism etc upto some extent stress on maintaining hygiene during all time in general and at rituals in particular.
However Congress has attributed hygiene to Gandhi before 2014 and Modi took it a level forward in 2014 by launching Swachch Bharat Abhiyan or Clean India Mission by forcing everyone hold a broom because he thinks Gandhi stressed on cleanliness.
Gandhi's own grandson Tushar Gandhi, who has no personal achievement to rise to the fame he enjoys, constantly lectures on every political scenario in India and world whether Gandhi would have liked it or not.
Gandhists like these want you to abandon your personal liberty of thought process and be a zombies of Gandhi.
From temple restoration movement in India or Israel's right to exist- these Gandhists' would love to shove their Gandhi validated way to settle the scores. As a matter of fact, Gandhi was against Israel's right to exist according to Gandhists' opinion.
If Rishi Sunak calls for 'Buy British' to promote national economy, a Gandhist in India named Sandip Roy pens down his frustration that the British PM is copying Gandhi as if nationalism itself was invented by Gandhi.
To completely discredit the blood spilled by Indian armed revolutionaries (Hindu Terrorists movement according to historian Valentine Chirole), and to give sole credit to Gandhi and his political companions like Nehru and party Congress, these Gandhists' even claim that India won freedom through Gandhi.
No country was freed through non-violence, including India. Non-violence can't eject occupiers.
Gandhi's dictatorial followers should consume the fact- however hard and harsh it is for them- that:
Gandhi is Gone. Get over it. From the river to the sea, the world is beyond Gandhi.
