And how, when his blueprint for India would be largely ignored, is he still revered as the ‘Father of the Nation’? Journalist Mishal Husain uncovers the complicated legacy of Mahatma Gandhi.

It should have been his moment of triumph, but Gandhi is broken. India is free, but independence has come at a price: 10-20 million people displaced, countless people tortured and murdered.

And how did he unwittingly contribute to her fate?
