How Gandhi Failed Hindus is a bold and thought-provoking re-examination of India's most iconic leader and his legacy in shaping Hindu-Muslim relations. While Mahatma Gandhi is celebrated worldwide as the apostle of nonviolence and the Father of the Nation, this book asks difficult questions: Did Gandhi's relentless pursuit of Hindu-Muslim unity come at the expense of Hindu security? Did his concessions embolden separatism rather than heal divisions? And did his idealism blind him to the harsh realities of communal politics?

Drawing on historical records, speeches and critical scholarship, the book traces the story from the Revolt of 1857 through the Partition of 1947 and into post-independence India. It explores Gandhi's alliances with the Khilafat Movement, his defense of Muslim demands, his negotiations with Jinnah and his inability to prevent Partition - events that left millions of Hindus displaced, persecuted and silenced in the name of "unity."

But this is not only a story of Gandhi's limitations. It is also a story of lessons for today. The book examines how Gandhi's strategies shaped post-independence politics, from appeasement and vote-bank politics to Article 370, Triple Talaq and recurring communal riots. It argues that true secularism must mean equality before law, not concessions to one community at the cost of another.

Clear, critical and unapologetically honest, How Gandhi Failed Hindus is both a historical analysis and a roadmap. It challenges readers to reflect on Gandhi's paradox - a leader of towering moral vision who nevertheless faltered in protecting the very majority that looked to him for guidance.

If you want to understand the long shadow of Partition, the persistence of Hindu–Muslim tensions and the urgent need for a balanced Hindu strategy today, this book is an essential read.
