Can someone please edit this paragraph? Please?

Question

Gandhi had once said, ”Nonviolence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man.” Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, born on October 2, 1869, was born to a poor family in Portbandar, India. During this time, Britain had conquered most of India's geographic and political regions by the mid 19th century through the British East India Company, who had eventually become economically dependent on India. However, for the people of India, this not only created a huge economic downfall, but it also caused starvation that killed 30 million alone. Coming back from his training as a lawyer from South Africa, Gandhi had witnessed many accounts of racism and unjust rule in Africa. Influenced by many authors and religion, Gandhi’s nonviolence resistance helped end an unjust rule in India. But what does “nonviolent resistance really mean? According to the Florida International University, nonviolent resistance mean

I mean edit it for grammar mistakes and such.

oh and this is the rest of the paragraph:

a “nonviolent struggle conducted by noncooperation, in reaction to a disapproved act, policy, or government.“ Gandhi used many methods of nonviolence resistance to end injustice rule in India. One of the methods was non-cooperation, which was the act of refusing to cooperate. To end unjust rule in India, Gandhi would also use boycotting as a method of nonviolent resistance. The act of peacefully violating a rule, civil disobedience, was another method Gandhi used to restore India’s rule.

Answer 1

(The following suggestions on the text are given without verifying the accuracy of the information in the essay.)
1.Delete the words 'During this time,' as the reference to mid 19th century is adequate.
2. Instead of 'who had eventually..', I would write 'which had eventually..' and also delete the comma after 'Company'.
3. Delete 'it' occurring before 'also caused starvation...' since the word 'this' used earlier is sufficient.
4. Change '30 million alone' to '30 million'.
5. Instead of 'accounts', I would say 'incidents' since witnessing refers to seeing a thing that happened, not to something that is heard (as an 'account').
6.Start a new paragraph starting 'Coming back...'.
7. Replace 'resistance' by 'movement', unless you are actually quoting from a Florida International University document where the word used is 'resistance'.
8. Before 'really mean', add a double quotation mark (") since this mark occurs before the word nonviolence but the quotation doesn't seem to end.
9. ' resistance to end unjust rule in India.' sounds better than 'resistance to end injustice rule in India.'. (Please check this in the sentence following one sentence later in the essay.)
10. Please check if the word 'noncooperation' needs a hyphen after 'non', as used at one place.

Answer 2

It doesn't particularly seem to need any editing.

Do you mean that you'd like someone to paraphrase it for you? That means to put the information into different words.

If that's what you're looking for, I think you should do it yourself. It's a very important skill to know for writing research papers. If you have others do it for you, you won't acquire the skill. It takes practice.
====================
OK, I take it all back. And I do see a few minor edits that may help.

I agree that 'had' should come out of the first sentence.

I think 'alone' (in 'killed 30 million alone') can be improved. Maybe just 'people.'

The two sentences starting 'coming back from his training' need a rewrite. The clauses and ideas don't really flow well. Maybe something like this: 'Gandhi witnessed many incidents of racism and unjust rule in South Africa while training there as a lawyer. Upon his return to India, he evolved his system of nonviolent resistance that eventually helped to end the unjust British rule.'

In a later sentence, should be 'nonviolent resistance' (not 'nonviolence') and should be 'unjust rule' (not 'injustice rule'). The rest is okay.

Answer 3

I don't think it needs the word "had". Ghandi once said should be good enough without had. Also, the paragraph that starts with "During this time" is VERY confusing, to me at least. Maybe try this: "By the mid 19th century, Britain had conquered most of India's geographic and political regions, but eventually became economically dependent on India." The rest of it sounds good, double check your spelling of Ghandi, as I think it has an "h" in his name.
