Why is Gandhi controversial? ChatGPT Gandhi remains a controversial figure primarily due to several aspects of his life and philosophy that have sparked debate and criticism: Attitude towards Caste and Untouchability: Gandhi's views on caste and untouchability evolved over time, but his initial stance was criticized for not being radical enough. He believed in the idea of varnashrama dharma, which advocated for the reform of the caste system rather than its abolition. His approach to social reform sometimes clashed with the more radical demands of Dalit leaders like B.R. Ambedkar.
