Mohandas Gandhi uttered these unforgettable words in a speech he delivered in 1931. The sensibility he spoke of then is just as important, relevant and critical today.
What do you guys think of this from a spiritual perspective? Does it have merit or do you disagree? Please elaborate on your answer.

Recently am reading a lot of negativity on him.
People are saying that he slept with tons of women nude. It was used to prove his Brahmacharya. There are no proofs that he had sex with them (All the writings say that he slept with them but nothing about sex. He even slept with young women nude and with all doors open) and at the same time less proofs that he didnot had sex with them.
He had mixed religious beliefs and though he supported some religions, at the same time he criticised them too. He is always found in support of minorities.
He supported partition of India into two countries and then asked hindus of India to stay liberal towards those Muslims who decided to stay in India.
He asked hindus to pray in mosques and Muslims to pray in temples. Did not achieve good results as Muslims were praying in temples but didnot allow Hindus to pray in mosques.
I believe India got independence all because of struggle of 1000βs indians both through violence and non violence. Be he do have a huge following, so huge that all political leaders including British fear of him. He lead Indians in hundreds of non violent riots. And got arrested numerous times. He is having his role in indipendente India which should not be ignored.
These are some of my views. So, All the hatred that am reading are from Hindu extremists only? or does anyone βhereβ also thinks that he is bad? Am I missing anything here? Please correct me if anything here is wrong! Also please share any useful material! Thanks.
