How is that version compared to the popular movie
Gandhi (1982) - IMDb

A lot of Indians I know usually see it from the perspective of that movie. Was Gandhi truly for the unity of Muslims and Hindus along with other religious groups or did he want Muslims to leave India so India could be a Majority Hindu nation. Pre-partition Hindus and Muslims were close to equal right?

From the reviews on goodreads by Indians, it seems that this book by Jaswant Singh was against the theories which were being taught in Indian schools or through media.

About Gandhi’s wish for Muslims to leave India, I don’t think that we can say anything with certainty. There are incidents in Gandhi’s life to suggest otherwise. Even, Gandhi was not convinced for mass migration at the time of partition. He first denied delegation of Sindhi Hindus from Sindh who wanted to migrate to India considering the riots in Punjab. Gandhi denied and asked them to stay in Sindh as the condition of law and order in Sindh remained under control till Karachi Program in January 1948. After the massacre of Sikhs in Karachi, Gandhi had to approve exodus of Sindhi Hindus from Karachi and last delegation he attended in his life was about migration of Sindhi Hindus to India.
