My language is hindi and in that Has been is used for things done in past, such as He has been killed(recent past action finished).
I have confusion with Has been that either it is used for past or present? What I feel in the above paragraph about has been is confusing, if I translate it into my language the errors are as follows,
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and(has always been) presented and received in person.(I think is should be use here rather than has been) .
