Instead of focusing on absolutes like good and bad, it is important to focus on lessons learned from Gandhi's methods. To me they are the following:
1. Appeasement of muslims was a disastrous policy ultimately leading to the partition of the nation
2. Uniting hindu society against the evils of the caste system and the various superstitions and backward practices was as equal a need as freedom itself.
3. Non violence is an ideal, not a method to win political battles. The end justifies the means and not the other way around.
