Gandhi famously didn't win but it was later discovered that he exhibited pedophile-type behavior as well as horrifically racist beliefs against Africans as well as possibly Dravidians (South Indians).
It's also against HN's rules to use it primarily for political or ideological battle. Would you mind taking the spirit of this site more to heart, as described at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html? We're here for curious conversation, not to smite enemies, and those two things can't coexist. For example, if you jump from a topic like "Disproved discoveries that won Nobel Prizes" to "Gandhi was a horrific racist", you're taking the thread in the sort of hellish direction from which the internet never returns.

I'm surprised this is not more well known.

> you see yourself as a far finer human being, is that right
Yes. I do as I believe most people are better than Gandhi, simply by virtue of not abusing children the way Gandhi did, and numerous other crimes that he committed.
