Calling db medavulu for a historical koschun

What were most Congress leaders like during 1940s to 1960s? 

Many biographies of Congress leaders at that time always depict them as visionary selfless secular leaders who want to bring their nation out of poverty, superstition, and communal hatred. Usually they were lawyers born from landowning families but they wanted to help the downtrodden. 

I don’t doubt that many of them were probably like this. New nation inspired them to become better leaders. But I suspect most of their biographies were heavily whitewashed.

Not with minor flaws like womanizing, neglectful parenting, or well intentioned policy blunders. I’m talking about Congress leaders who were actually superstitious, filled with communal/caste hatred, extremely corrupt, and refused any beneficial reforms. Media will paint entirely different story about their character to fit with Congress image. 

I did read somewhere that janalu at that time considered their national MPs were manchivallu while their state MLAs were chedavallu.

Nijame bro. They made some mistakes but they did their best to advance this nation.

But I have feeling that some of these leaders are completely opposite character of what media depicts them as.
