Gandhi's non violence is that of a man standing in front of an armory saying "Let's talk". 300 million people just telling you they won't obey you is violence enough. The British were not driven from India, they were shoved out.

What about Indian scholars who see Ghandi as a tool of the British, that he was part of there establishment working in their interests.

[@Shaggy-8392]

Those are RSS scholars.

For British, Gandhi was their man in India to protect the British Empire. That was the reason his statue was erected not far from the statue of Robert Clive the founder of the British Empire.
