I think the history was written wrongly, india got indipendence not because of Gandhi, it is because of world war 2, as the half of england destroyed and suffer from manpower and the massive requirement of manpower to rebuild england. they were in a lot of trouble and they can't concentrate on a big country which is being difficult to manage. Thats why they decided to give independence to india, it might not be because of the gandian way, In general it is common sense if u r not demanding with adequate power u can't get anything, so gandian way is total useless and it never proven usefull.

it was both WW II and Ghandiji are responsible for freedom because it was bapuji's idea to call quit india in 1942 as he knew britishers will not give freedom once the war was over. and he knew when to do it. so he struck when iron was hot. that led to the downfall of the britishers not the war itself. then how come we got freedom after gandhi came not before. so credit goes to him also. because of his way only we got freedom. and one thing more there were strikes around the country during the war and none of indian soldiers fought the war. even the britishers knew when the country is united they cannot rule us. even britishers know we got independence because of gandhi. so the history rightly written as it says because of WW II and gandhiji's efforts we got freedom. not solely because WW II.

Truly said...we have been brainwashed by these pseudo seculars... Winner always writes the history...same thing happened in India...muslim and British destroyed our country and wrote as per their convenience... Our PM feel proud to say that British raj was good for India...neglecting the contribution of our freedom fighters No one talk about Lal Bhadur, Sardar Patel, Subhash, Azad, Ashfak, Bhagar singh, Chandrasekhar and may more... None of human rights activist talk about the Army personals and their family...
