Bueno, ya que se mencionaba a Gandhi, y me dio curiosidad en ese sentido, parece ser que sí existe alguna evidencia de que Gandhi "recibió" un bautismo de estos, por ahí del año 1996, y SIN aprobación de ningún familiar.


Por lo menos, eso es lo que revela una investigación:

Helen Radkey, a former Mormon who has until now has focused on researching incidents of proxy baptisms being proposed for or performed on dead Jews, discovered the Gandhi records on February 16 in a genealogical database restricted to Mormons. She was prompted to search for his name after seeing a statement by a Nevada-based Hindu activist, Rajan Zed, who expressed concern the practice might be performed in the name of many Hindus.

A screen shot of the database page sent to HuffPost by Radkey shows a proxy baptism for Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was completed in a Salt Lake City Temple on March 27, 1996. The record has since been removed and Radkey said a subsequent search came up with “Unknown Name.”

Arun Gandhi, a grandson of Mahatma Gandhi who lives in Rochester, N.Y., said he was “ surprised” to hear about the posthumous baptism. “It bothers me in the sense that people are doing something when a person is dead and gone and there is nobody to answer for that person. That’s not the right thing to do,” said Gandhi

Just because a name of an individual is submitted for a proxy baptism doesn’t mean that the ritual takes place. “Such baptisms can only be performed in special fonts in Mormon Temples,” the BBC has reported. “Women act as proxies for women and men for men. There are witnesses present and a proper record is kept, although the ceremony does not make the person for whom the baptism is performed a Mormon.”

Negotiations between Mormon and Jewish leaders led to an agreement in 1995 for the church to stop the posthumous baptism of all Jews, except in the case of direct ancestors of Mormons.
