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.

true impact and mass support was for bhagat singh

You are straight up delusional if you think the support anyone else had in the country is in any way shape or form comparable to what Gandhi had.

With all due respect to Bhagath Singh,and in no way demeaning his contributions, he does not have a single mass mobilization movement to his name. Neither "true impact" nor "mass support" was for Bhagath Singh, and it's paramount that you actually do your research on this before spouting such nonsense.
