Everything Gandhi accomplished can be attributed to his commitment to being intentional in his message and actions. Satyagraha was his principle that had the most success, the one that he spent the most time developing and transforming into.

bureaucrat that he was, was undoubtedly attracted towards socialism and few other Western philosophies, one of them being Secularism. Nehru was also never a religious person, he considered religious activities as naive since there is no science behind. But Gandhi, on the other hand, was a religious person, and one of the few who could link religion with politics.
