The Mahatma was sidetracked and undermined long before his death by Nehru and Patel. HIS views on how to Constitute India were thrown into the dustbin and the Constituent Assembly, which wrote out Constitution, wrote the exact opposite of whatever he envisaged. The powers that were, in 1947, decided that the Mahatma's job was to get freedom for the country and he had no business running it. While HE advised Congress party to come out of politics on attaining independence, they threw HIM out of politics.
