He needed to use Hindus since they were 90% of the population. So he changed his image to look alike a saint. Always sang Hindu songs to influence Hindus to make them think that he is for them. Also he used Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Nehru for his popularity. He also for a short period of time cleaned public restroom for headline in newspaters. This caught people's attention in a big way.

He was very sneaky. Even he liked Britts and Muslims, he convinced Hindus that he is doing so for the success of his fight for freedom. Independence movement had been going on since 1856, he just jumped in to and gained control.

He became more famous because(1) he was murdered, (2) Gandhi advised Nehru to name his daughter Indira (married to Firroz Khan) his last name Gandhi to fool Hindus. (3) used millions of rupees of Indian taxpayers' money to produce Holliwood film Gandhi with many false info. Movie Gandhi not only made M. K. Gandhi famous but also Indira Gandhi in a big way. Naive Hindus just assume that Indira Gandhi is from the same family of MK Gandhi.
