Gandhism - its True Nature

Who would have accepted Mr Gandhi as a leader in any other country? Mr Gandhi is kind to the Untouchables, but for what? Only because he wants to kill by kindness, them and their movement. What is there in Gandhism which is not found in orthodox Hinduism? There is caste in Hinduism, there is caste in Gandhism. Hinduism believes in the law of hereditary profession, so does Gandhism.... All that Gandhism has  done is to find a philosophical justification for Hinduism and its dogmas.
