Gandhi seems to have been too ignorant to realize that nonviolence only works as a strategy against English speakers who believe in representative government.

Nonviolent resistance does not work against Nazis or Communists or Islamists.

Gandhi himself was never in danger of losing his life to the British "oppressor" - when he was murdered he was murdered by a fellow Hindu.

Six million Jews were murdered by the Nazis whether they obeyed the laws or didn't obey the laws. And Gandhi was either too stupid or too self-righteous to realize that.

there were quite a few Indians killed under the british, not trying to defend the idiotic comments of Ghandi but to say that he was in no danger is not totally accurate.
