Gandhi was a crowd puller before partition.
Gandhi never represented Hindus; in fact he went on fast for Muslims when Hindus and Sikhs were being butchered by Muslims in now Pakistan and Punjab. Even kids used to spit on Gandhi posters in Punjab. Adults used slap Gandhiâs posters by slippers.
Nehru used Gandhi's death to suppress Hindus in North India by placing ban and arresting every single local Hindu leader in Punjab whether they were connected by RSS or not. No doubt Gandhi was one of the most hated man in North India especially border area.
Nehru promoted his own family members by placing them in every cushy job.
Current leftist and Congress are using Gandhi and Nehru policies to suppress majority. Nehru used to ridicule Hindus and their customs; he was more British than Britishers.
Gandhi and Nehru relationship after partition was not so good.
Together these two guys killed majority population customs and aspiration.

I agree with the gist of your post. But Gandhi influenced every nook and corner of the country. He was able to awaken the masses as never before and changed the political map of India.
Hence even though Punjab and Delhi and other parts were burning and were angry at Gandhi , the rest of the country gives credit to Gandhi atleast for the awakening. The partition and violence and the govt formation with Nehru are seen as pawn games by the British govt where Gandhi and Nehru were really pawns in the chess board with British having secret agreement with the Muslim League.
The decision of Nehru and his idea of modernization built on denegrating Hinduism is a monumental blunder.
