Gandhi was called Mahatma by several people. -\n\n1) Rabindranath Tagore-\nIn 1914 Gandhi returned to India. Through Andrews he met Rabindranath Tagore the following year, who called Gandhi a mahatma, "great soul," as the Theosophists had in South Africa. He was to become for millions of Indians simply the Mahatma. In 1919 he announced a Satyagraha struggle, resulting in the Amritsar massacre. By 1920 he was the dominant political figure, and the major campaigns of 1920-22, 1930-34, and 1940-42 led to British abdication. From the 1930's he was based at Sevagram, a village in central India, where he worked on a "constructive programme" to educate rural India, develop cottage industries, and fight untouchability.\n\n2)The Indian people called Gandhi Mahatma, meaning Great Soul. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was better known as Mahatma Gandhi. "Mahatma" means "Great-Souled One." His followers and admirers adorned him with this significant title, but the Mahatma's soulful humility vehemently disclaimed the title. To be absolutely correct, Mahatma Gandhi had two more names: Ahimsa, Non-Violence, and Satyagraha, Soul-Force.  \n\n3) In another context I read that Netaji Subash bose Called him first as Mahatma-

Mahajan was a very secular leader. He was expected to become the next PM from the NDA. His demise leaves a great impact on the Sena-BJP alliance as he was a emerging social Hindu leader

Nathuram Godse.\n\nOn January 30, 1948, on his way to a prayer meeting, Gandhi was shot dead in Birla House, New Delhi, by Nathuram Godse. Godse was a Hindu radical with links to the extremist Hindu Mahasabha, who held Gandhi responsible for weakening India by insisting upon a payment to Pakistan.[15] Godse and his co-conspirator Narayan Apte were later tried and convicted, and on 15 November 1949, were executed.

I think it would be better to ask \n"What is the chronological order of Indira Gandhi as the prime minister of independent India?"\n\nThe answer is three. Jawaharlal Nehru, Lal Bahadur Shastri, and then Indira Gandhi.

was a major political and spiritual leader of India, and the Indian independence movement. He was the pioneer[1] and perfector of Satyagraha — the resistance of tyranny through mass civil disobedience strongly founded upon ahimsa (total non-violence), which led India to independence, and has inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. Gandhi is commonly known and addressed in India and across the world as Mahatma Gandhi (from Sanskrit, Mahatma: Great Soul) and as Bapu (in many Indian languages, Father).\n\nAn English-educated lawyer, Gandhi first employed his ideas of peaceful civil disobedience in the Indian community's struggle for civil rights in South Africa. Upon his return to India, Gandhi organized poor farmers and labourers in India to protest oppressive taxation and extensive discrimination, and carried it forward on the national stage to protest oppressive laws made by the British Raj. Becoming the leader of the Indian National Congress, Gandhi led a nationwide campaign for the alleviation of the poor, for the liberation of Indian women, for brotherhood amongst communities of differing religions and ethnicity, for an end to untouchability and caste discrimination, and for the economic self-sufficiency of the nation, but above all for Swaraj — the independence of India from foreign domination. Gandhi famously led Indians in the disobedience of the salt tax through the 400 kilometer (248 miles) Dandi Salt March in 1930, and in an open call for the British to Quit India in 1942. He was imprisoned for many years on numerous occasions in South Africa and India.\n\nThroughout his life, Gandhi remained committed to non-violence and truth even in the most extreme situations. Gandhi was a student of Hindu philosophy and lived simply, organizing an ashram that was self-sufficient in its needs. He made his own clothes — the traditional Indian dhoti and shawl, woven with a charkha — and lived on a simple vegetarian diet. He used rigorous fasts — abstaining from food and water for long periods — for self-purification as well as a means of protest.\n\nGandhi was recognized as the Father of the Nation by Subhas Bose and later by the whole nation (India). October 2, his birthday, is each year commemorated as Gandhi Jayanti, and is a national holiday. Gandhi's life and teachings inspired Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Biko and Aung San Suu Kyi and respectively the American civil rights movement and the freedom struggles in South Africa and Myanmar.

Definitely. Gandhi was a corrupt man. Sadly the contributions of great freedom fighters are overlooked. I don't agree American or Britons knowledge of Gandhi, because they know nothing about him.

Like America once, India was part of the British Empire.  Gandhi was instrumental in helping India achieve independence in 1945, nonviolently.  Shortly thereafter, he was assassinated.
