@mindless indian lol,i need to laugh at you buddy!!you seem to be a joker to me.anyways let me tell you it was the labour party which came into power.which led them to make not only but all their colonies independent .since india was the biggest of all the colonies ,so it was their thought to leave india first and then leave other countries like srilanka,burma etc.and within few years .almost all their colonies got independent,India although was the first one to get independence but it was nt because of gandhi.one more thing after WW2 they lost their superpower status.so to avoid further loss .they thought that it would be best to leave imperialism. now tell me where has gandhi come from je is not even a big picture
