From @theskindoctor13
“Bapu ne hame azadi dilayi. Unke hathiyar the satya aur ahinsa.”
Gandhi had been leading Satya Ahimsa movements in India since 1915. If the British had valued his methods, they would’ve left India much earlier. Oppressors fear armed rebellion. To them, a person who discourages his people from engaging in armed rebellion is a welcome presence, not a threat. Real reasons for freedom were these :
1. British economy damage due to world war.
2. Post-war global decolonization sentiments.
3. Post war mutiny within the Armed forces. Eg. Naval mutiny, 1946.
4. Focal armed uprisings like Bose.
5. Anti colonial movements in Europe.
6. UN charter 1945 emphasizing self governance.
7. Most importantly, endless sacrifices of lakhs of freedom fighters.
