The Film is banned not because it exposes Hindu exteremism but because it exposes the hollowness of Gandhism and shows what a big hypocrate Gandhi was...
I remember seeing this film years ago, and having a huge crush on Horst Bucholtz. However watching this clip today it is more then a little painful to see Hollywood actors in blackface with phony accents trying to pass themselves off as Indians. It is a pity because the movie's story of Ghandi's assasination is still pertinent today, and also its currents of political/ethnic radicalism. I don't think much of remaking movies, but if there was ever a movie that should be remade, it is this one.
Miya Shaukat Khan on Tabla? Looks like a film from the "Black And White Show" era when, it seems, that 'boot polish' was liberally used on faces! LOL.

Do you feel Gandhi almost instigated the ripping apart of India by bowing too much to Muslim pressure?

Yes but it's a bit better now as Asian/Orientals actors/actresses are used.
