Or so the US govt would have had us believe....

As for Gandhi, did he really get what he was 'fighting' for? I doubt his vision of an independent India included partition that caused so much bloodshed and the largest displacement of people in history. And I suspect that in the case of India, independence would have happened with or without Gandhi. Some people seem to think that because of Gandhi the Indian struggle for freedom from Britain was a non-violent thing, but it wasn't. There were riots and massacres, and when Gandhi was imprisoned, groups he led like the Quit India Movement would spiral into more and more violence...
