In an extra edition of his unscripted reassessments of people thought of as heroes, Brian Walden turns to the architect of Indian independence.

Gandhi did more than drive the British out of India using "passive resistance". He also fought for better conditions for workers, persuaded the Congress Party to grant equality to the Untouchables, and convinced the Indian masses that they could indeed take control of their own destiny.

Walden argues that, although he made mistakes, among them urging the western powers to use non-violence against Hitler, Gandhi must be considered as one of the greatest heroes in all of human history.
