Ramanaji, You have read lot of secularist propaganda about Gandhiji through media and text books. Netaji challenged Gandhi and won the leadership of the Congress. When he decided to leave the Congress and organize the armed struggle, he was the most popular leader and Gandhi who always sided with the British in using the Indians for colonial expansion had to meekly refuse support to the Govt for their war efforts during WWII. However his paper withdrawal of support meant nothing to the British for they used whoever of the Indian regiments they could who did not desert to Netaji's side. Gandhiji sathyagraha movement is plainly no brainer when it came to winning concessions. It was Netaji's vision and the Bombay Naval mutiny that finally made the British leave. But of course they transferred power to their most faithful servants - Nehru and Jinnah. This is the true history.
Much more than the electoral system the evil is in the secular constitution. If only it can say that this is a Hindu state I wouldn't mind the westminster electoral apparatus.
Gandhiji made sathyagraha (whatever pious thing it meant as in their propaganda) to advance his motive and cause. Anyone can spin arguments in advancing one's motive and cause. Question is if his sathyagraha movement is a valid Hindu dharma. I am pretty sure you cannot say it is!
