If you really look into Indian independence, Gandhi had fuck all to do with it. The british lost a lot in the war and they were making concessions. They already had extracted, exploited, and starved the poor and didn’t want the overhead of managing large colonies anymore.
That is why the british marked their borders, that is why they still use british governance, that is why the ruling class are still the ones from high caste and status that helped British subjugate the lower class/caste during their rule.
And all that is why there’s still a lot of corruption and class/gender/caste/religion conflicts. They just got new sheep in wolf’s clothing.
It wasn’t some grassroots movement that won over by peace and protest. It was a hand me down.
