This exploration delves into the complex legacy of Mohandas Gandhi, challenging the portrayal of him as a saint or martyr after his assassination. While his fight for Indian rights in South Africa was pivotal, Gandhi held controversial views towards South African blacks, often referring to them derogatorily. His reputed final words, “Hey Ram,” have been debated as a construct of state propaganda aimed at framing him as a devout Hindu. Through critical examination, we highlight the misconceptions surrounding his life and ideology.
