Gandhi preached it lived and accomplished throwing the British out of India with less bloodshed then King, did.

He had a dream.
Dreamers dream.
Doers Do.
Gandhi was a doer.

Answer 2

Well I don't know much about King Jr., but when Gandhi was forming his philosophy at the turn of the century, he read extensively not only Eastern writers, but also Western. In doing so he formed a unique blend of opinions of East and West, not necessarily having an exclusive Hindu outlook, though indeed he was raised Hindu. Gandhi was greatly influenced by Rajchandra Ravjibhai Mehta, who focused on Jainism. Rajchandra impressed Gandhi with the idea of the "many sidedness" of religious truth, and I think that Jainism, Christianity, Islam, Zoroastrianism, and Hinduism all played important roles in the formation of his theories of nonviolence and satyagraha.
