Gandhi was ahead of his time and was wrongly perceived by contemporary people. But undercurrent of Indian politics were moving in opposite direction and gradually one by one, his principles were challenged, his believes were questioned and his strategies were counteracted. From all sides he was facing opposition and was completely helpless and found himself in utter failure. This paper will attempt to study and analyse the role of communal forces and gandhian approach towards the dilemma to fight at the same time, single handedly on various many fronts.
