If you are looking for any figure that is pure like snow and more saint than Saints, then nobody can reasonably win any kind of Award ever - you can find faults with absolutely every single one person in the Universe.

What basis do you have for saying that Gandhi was a 'horrible individual'? And I take it from the way you said that, that you see yourself as a far finer human being, is that right? (Maybe that second question is an improper one, but it does seem raised by how and what you wrote.)

I'm surprised this is not more well known.

Yes. I do as I believe most people are better than Gandhi, simply by virtue of not abusing children the way Gandhi did, and numerous other crimes that he committed.
