I think kolemath did a good job of pointing out the issues in the pome. I had exactly the same reservations. The Gandhi bit grates, in fact, because at no point did he 'rage against the bourgeois', and so the contrast between him and Mao doesn't work. They had nothing in common apart from being Asians leaders, having black hair, and not dying in Calgary, for instance.
