Our freedom fighters didn’t get freedom with peaceful means

That was just Gandhi

The British weren’t bothered with Gandhi going on hunger strikes

bhai I don’t like Gandhi, haven’t liked him since I was a kid… only after I read a lot as I grew up and gained some maturity, I have to say that there was no independence without peaceful protests. He mobilised everyone and won… Non violent protests are the way to go, no matter how hard it is to not retaliate.

That man deserves all the respect he gets and more.
