Your ignorance of Indian history is breathtaking. Between 600,000 and 1,000,000 Indians were slaughtered in a matter of months before, during, and after Partition, in large part due to the Partition. Gandhi did nothing to hasten the day that India attained independence, but bowed to the Muslim League’s demand that India be torn in two, which is the reason Pakistan exists today instead of a united India.
Learn your history.

Gandhi not only hastened Indian independence from Britain, he was one of the staunchest opponents of partition, because he foresaw exactly the bloodbath that came to pass. You can hardly blame Jenna's obstinacy on Gandhi, especially when you understand that Gandhi was not the elected representative to the National Congress; Nehru was. The blood from partition is on his and Muhammed Ali Jenna's hands.

One of us needs to learn history, and it ain't me, bro.
