Those non-violent protests shook them so bad they wanted to charge non-violent Quaker protestors with terrorism.
This is why peaceful protest is legal, it accomplishes nothing.
So you're saying that Gandhi accomplished nothing but leading the most significant and largest non-violent struggle in all of history? To each their own I suppose.
He just didn't sit with placards, he refused to co-operate with the British establishment, and when millions followed him, they couldn't just arrest them all. He got India independence through a non-violent struggle, the basis of which lied in subjugating the British trade and administration.
They could arrest Gandhi and Congress leaders all they wanted to, but the movement they inspired couldn't be stopped.
This might just be the American train of thought, but you're wrong here. When millions follow you, and refuse to cooperate, the ruling class will suffer, because they're dependent on you for power. Checkmate.
Something often missed about Gandhi’s efforts was that it was still more about what he did do than what he didn’t (violence). He still used resistance and force, including illegal actions that he believed were just, and massively hurt Great Britain’s bottom line and sense of control.
The trick is to locate efforts that aim to accomplish that in modern US politics.
That's an american matter and I couldn't be bothered less.
