This question looks absurd to people ignorant of history. When Gandhi successfully arrested control from the British, he was approached by guess who...yep...the Muslims.
You see, some 900 years ealier, Arab Muslims invaded India in what has been described by the worlds foremost historians on the subject as "the greatest genocide in human history". see Gautier and Durant.
Ever since the Islamic genocide of Hindus/Budhists in India, the Indian continent as been overwhelmed with Islam and in constant tumult. Gandhi gave in to Muslim demands for their own Islamic state and gave them over one third of the Indian continent.
You see, what this stupid stupid pacifist didnt think about, was, well...ALL THE NON-MUSLIMS CURRENTLY LIVING IN THE LAND HE CONCEDED! No small oversight....Muslims...being Muslims...naturally wanted their new country (called Pakistan today) to be "cleansed" of non-muslims. Over 15 millions non-muslims died as a result of Pacifist Ghandi decision. Nice hu?

Oh by the way, this is the reason Ghandhi was assassinated. Crazy assassin, I mean, why get upset that Ghandhi gave away 1/3 of your country to butcheres who have butchered your people for almost 1000 years and who then proceeded to commence full fledged genocide against non-muslims living in their newly Ghandi given lands.
Islam is neat stuff aint it?

NO and let me make this easy
1) A question does not have to be the length of a novel
2) You know you can use spell check as Yanswers provides us with that tool
3) Ghandi stopped an imperial occupation without violence

Ghandi's passive views had some problems for sure, he suggested that the Jews should have committed mass suicide to protest the German treatment of jews in the 2nd world war. seems like a pretty stupid statement to me. Ghandi was effective in wresting control of india from the british but he was depending on the fact the the British had a moral compass, something we may not be able to depend on from radical extremist muslims.

and how many Muslims died?the violence was coming from intolerance on both sides. without the common enemy of the British, the old conflicts arose. they were all killing each other before he made that decision, and he made it in the hope that the fighting would stop. when it didn't, he went on the last fast of his life to stop it. thats totally something to be judgmental about and blame just one person for.

uh... the closest number I could find to your 15 million was 1 milloin for the same period of time? care to site that number? and some of those I believe were Islamic deaths killed by hindus...
and to say it was Ghandi's fault is silly... he didn't kill them... and war between the two has and would have killed probably more than your 15 million you state...
your history seems to be about as bias as your opinion...

Very simply, Ghandi was opposed to the partition of India.
Therefore, violence resulting from the partition can hardly be blamed on him; it has to be blamed on Nehru and Jinna.
