What is the true nature of Gandhi's philosophy?

Gandhi's philosophy, though rooted in noble intentions, is a relic of the past that clings to medieval tools while ignoring the realities of modern existence, ultimately risking the very lives it seeks to uplift.

— Osho
According to Osho, Gandhi's philosophy is a well-intentioned but obsolete revivalism that rejects modern industry and relies on medieval tools like the spinning wheel, which, if implemented, would entrench poverty and cause mass starvation. He calls it antediluvian, impractical for contemporary populations, and notes Gandhi's hypocrisy in denouncing railways, medicine, and post while using them - revealing a dangerous moralism divorced from scientific reality.

Osho says Gandhi meant well but pushed old methods that cannot feed today's world, and he did not live by them himself.
