"Basically, the theme was that Ghandi's passive resistence worked against the British because they were basically decent people"
Thats BS. Many in India dont consider Hitler to be half as bad as whats the Brits were.

Your comment does not negate the Texan's point. Just because your guys thought Hitler was better than the Brits doesn't contradict that non-violence works only only with decent occupiers. The Nazis never got close to India.
It seems that G Khan's logic education is lacking.

Good afternoon.
"Thats BS. Many in India dont consider Hitler to be half as bad as whats the Brits were."
MeanWestTexan is describing a work of fiction, not reality. In the story Gandhi is brought before Model who listens to him politely.
Gandhi thinks the Nazis will fold before his passiveness as the British did. Instead Model orders him shot and goes about his business.
It's a good story.
