Gandhi emphasised ‘monotheism’. He was a sanatan Hindu and on this basis he supported the movement of untouchables to enter temples. According to Irfan Habib, “he tended to make Hinduism more monotheistic than did even the Arya Samajist, with whom, of course he did not agree” (Habib, 2013, p. 26). Irfan Habib conceives that the greatest achievement of Gandhi was in relation to the theological tenets of Hinduism. He was able to emphasise that caste system was not essentially a part of Hinduism, by the year of Gandhi’s death. Gandhi was able to produce reformist zeal inside Hinduism.
