The other day I was walking to my place after work, it was late night and the road is almost empty. Then I had this thought started in me. It was the day before Republic day and suddenly my mind started thinking of all the independence and related things. That thought process raised the question, Why Gandhiji is the most successful in leading India's freedom struggle. Then my mind gave me this answer.
Gandhiji's weapons are satyagraha and non-violence, there are other freedom fighters who believed in violence. Even though you need lot of courage to use non-violence, its easy to convince the people with non-violence than the violence. Take an example, someone is beating your buddy, and he is taking all the pain without any slightest hint of retaliation. You will be at once ready to share his pain without any thought. But if the same friend of yours asked you to join hands to kill the guy who beat him without any reason, you think twice. Indians by birth are against violence. This actually made non-violence an important part of Indian freedom struggle.

Exciting analysis!!!
yes its correct
Hmm... but I feel that there is a flaw in the argument. As far as I know no one has come to the help of MK Gandhi in his non voilence every body applauded his effort but no one did really helped him... the british had left the country as they felt there is nothing worthy enough in the country to loot in India... and there are many other reasons for that... The non voilence should be followed by each and every one not by one particular entity, if one entity is following the voilence and the other sticks to non voilence this is not a logically correct situation as is our independence struggle.
