Since you were talking about the man, please spell it correctly, 'Gandhi' and we should acknowledge as above that his methods would not have worked against 1940's Germany, so it is a tribute to the English of the 1940's that their system allowed a native to be educated and to lead a successful movement against them. The English have left a different and better imprimatur on their subject colonies the world over than any other culture.

Robo, from an offshoot of one of those colonies, the United States of America.

P.S. I'm sure there will be those who can't wait to tell me the English were not perfect. Acknowledged. But they were far superior to anyone else. I had an Indian roommate in College who felt the same way. (He wasn't perfect either).
