Episode synopsis
Presented by BBC journalist Mishal Husain, whose grandparents were Muslims in India at the time of Independence, the series challenges idealized images of Gandhi. Gandhi's non-violent philosophy has inspired world leaders such as Nelson Mandela and President Obama and yet Mishal also uncovers a man torn by contradictions – the pacifist who backed war and Jihad; the holy man branded a racist; and the political campaigner who was astute and brilliant one moment and naive the next.
