Many people who're in positions of power are darkworkers. For instance, John F. Kennedy was a darkworker, yet he certainly did a lot of for the country. Even Richard Nixon who was a very extreme darkworker did a whole bunch of good things as president. People just choose to focus on his misdeeds.

I really doubt that Gandhi cared one bit about publicity and fame (as far as feeding his ego). If he did he wouldn't have been a lightworker.
