As Acharya wrote earlier, Gandhi also became a victim of a broader social engineering carried out by Brits. I think Congress party itself was created to lead this social engineering process (SE).
Gandhi was more of a socio/spiritual/reformer kind of leader, should have restricted himself to the social issues only. But he was egged on as part of the SE process to push through the amputation of Bharata.
Nehru used Gandhi's assasination to usurp the power and push through the Agenda of his masters.
One of the reasons could be that no Indian leader gathers enough courage to ask for the compensation and apology for 200 years of slavery and blatant looting by Brits. Frequent rewards to MMS and other Indian public servants are just the part of the SE process which still goes on.
Compare that with Chinese insistence and armtwisiting of Japan for WWII atrocities and how Japanese PM is forced to apologize again and again and also how Japanese businesses are blackmailed into investing billions & zillions in China.
