- Synopsis
- Gandhi The alternative to violence Gandhi achieved, for the first time in history, the independence of a great country from a great empire without waging a war of independence. Up to his day, colonies in America and Asia had won independence from the colonizing powers in Europe, but never without a war. Even in India, some political and military leaders like Nehru, Patel and Subash Chandra Bose thought an armed uprising would be necessary and a war would have to be waged to free India from Britain. But Gandhi prevailed, and won. He achieved independence through peaceful means. That was a landmark in history. After him and through his example, many more countries in Asia and Africa did gradually become independent without a war, and this is precisely Gandhi's vital contribution to the history of the human race. Freedom without war.
