I truly believe that they did not have any part in the gaining of independence. In fact, no one really did. These "nonviolent" people were only cowards, afraid that the British could do something really bad. Sure, they went to jail at times. Big deal. I don't know any that gave up their lives for their country. The true heroes are people like Udam and Bhagat Singh. They were willing to take initiative and were very brave. They gave up their lives for their motherland. The nonviolent people were just looking to get attention and power. Their ways were too slow. Sometimes violence is necessary. It took them decades to gain independence. For example, the Americans fought the British because they taxed them a little bit. Compare that to the hardships, humiliation, and devastation that the Indians faced. They lost a great deal of our wealth, prosperity, and peace. In fact, the world's biggest diamond was originally in India. Now, it is on the head of the British monarch. Most importantly, no person or group was responsible for independence. The British Empire was too far-flung. After World War II, the British were faltering and had already given their international position to the US. They just could not hold it together anymore. Forget Gandhi and just honor those who truly deserve praise: those who actually did something.

Is it a freedom !!! There are a lot not written in history book. Nathuram Godsey was a better freedom fighter!! Why exactly he killed Gandhi ? Why Netaji is lost forever !!! The above are the some of the doubts I have ..... And obviously Gandhiji and Nehru had all the answers.

I am of the opinion that although the helped,their silence at partition was a unforgivable mistake. barring Almost all the freedom strikers were from an ultra rich background.If Nehru had given up his claim to be a prime ministerand allowed jinnah to become PM then India would never have been partitioned. i said this to show about their hunger for power

The British left India not because of Indias freedom struggle but because India once considered the jwel of British empire was becoming a liability for the British.In The Post world war 2 period
Indian Ecnomy was in shambles due to the policy of maximum profit by the british.and administering them was difficult and costing money too..They gave Freedom to many British Protectorates in the Middle East where there were no strrugles for Indipendence(why? simply because the cost for administering them were more than the profit the could get by controlling them.. iam talking about the middle east before petrolem was discovered.)



And what non violence are you talking about..These are the same people who told Our people to fight Germans for the british resulting in Millions of Death of Indians,

ok its good to know there are people who think similarly to me
bye

Actually they did help some in all likelyhood. Yeah the people who fought helped some as well. In reality you basically need both groups at the same time. The non-violent help restrain from it becoming too much bloodshed. If you go around killing everyone like that then in some time you will actually turn on each other else well, you are out of enemies but not really out of the bloodlust.

I think anyone non violent HAS helped, as they live by example... but people are ignorant and power hungry. Look at what happened to Jesus, and how peaceful he was? Noone liked that very much, and still today people preach to be like him, but this is a violent world. Still I think he as well as many prophets in history have saved us from much worse violence . I hope the Earth keeps getting one good prophet after the next until someday there is global wisdom. And violence ends.

People such as Gandhi and Dr. King thankfully lived in societies that valued human life and discourse. Certainly they had enemies that meant harm to them, and later in their lives, they did both meet tragic ends. But they did good in the time they had.
