> From reading practically the same texts, the Nazis and Ghandi came to the opposite conclusions.

Two main epics of Hinduism: Ramayan and Mahabharat are both stories of good vs. evil, where good ultimately wins through violence. In both cases, the good side tries to avoid violence as much as they can, but when it is necessary they don't hold back. Arjun holds back during the Mahabharat war and Krishn convinces him to fulfill his duty as a warrior.

Good and Evil are values that are imposed upon these texts by modern readers. The only thing that Krishna accused of Arjun was being "non-aryan," अनार्य, and "unmanly," क्लैब्य. The Rakshasas were also "non-aryan" because they had strange sexual practices, lived in the jungle, and worshipped Shiva. And in the northern India tellings of the Ramayana, at least in the Valmiki Ramayana, which I assume you are familiar with based on your spelling, it is Rama who incites the initial violence, not the Rakshasas.
