Even in the age of communication, it would be foolish to tear down existing images and try and create a new construct like what China has attempted to do.
I do credit Gandhi with all those adjectives I mentioned earlier, more importantly the world credits him with those qualities. Otherwise what really did jesus do except get nailed to the cross for attempting to modify the jewish religion. But today he is assigned a wide range of powers and qualities.
Besides, Gandhi was truly a humanist and he outgrew his earlier prejudice. You must remember that he was a product of british education and it took some time for him to outgrew the Macullay effect, and all that WITHOUT the internet and google that makes it so easy for us to find out the truth and strip propaganda.
Gandhi had to do it the long hard way.
I am no fan of Jesus either. Also considering Christianity is fast losing its grip on its home ground Gandhi does not hold much of a chance. Gandhi was an A grade AH. His humanism existed only for Muslims. He was a pedophile. No amount of de-Macullaying is going to wash that.
