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.
You are WRONG! It is YOU who needs to learn your history, not me...Gandhi did nothing to hasten Indian independence. NOTHING! The Indian National Congress was under the spell of Gandhi, whose core convictions “in the innermost recesses of my heart” changed from day to day.
I hold Gandhi personally responsible for the butchery of Partition. The blood of a million people is on his hands.
India won independence in 1947, followed by the
Indo-Pakistani War of 1947, and partition of India. Gandhi
said, “Before partitioning India, my body will have to be
cut into two pieces.” About one million people died in the
bloody riots until partition was reluctantly asserted by
Gandhi as the only way to stop the Civil War. He urged the
Congress Party to accept partition, and launched his last
“fast-into-death” campaign in Delhi, calling for a stop to
all violence. Gandhi also called to give Pakistan the
550,000,000 rupees in honor of the partition agreement. He
tried to prevent instability and anger against India.

Gandhi did nothing to hasten Indian independence whatsoever, and according to V.S. Naipal, was so erratic and counterproductive to the independence movement, that he probably delayed Indian independence by about 20 years.
By the way, it’s Muhammad Ali Jinnah, not Jennah. And don’t call me “bro”.
