Exactly you are right it was the authentic point which he realized to convince the British.
And further I have also listened to some bad aspects but I don't bother because I think we should ignore those bad things and just to accept him as our freedom leader and peace maker.
Again you missed my point 🙂 I said people even Muslims wanted to make him down. He fought 3 battels - with British, Indians and conservative Muslims. But leave the point as it will confuse you again.
