Wrong.
Gandhi was behind/supported India’s partition and was favoring Muslims. He forced India to give big chunk of money to Pakistan. To force his demand, he was frequently go into fasting mode.
During partition, he became so unpopular that people/kids walking on street used to slap his posters or picture with shoes.
He also favored “Caliphate”.
