I think Ghandi was very much a participant in violence, he was just a general and not a footsoldier. In fact, his strategy RELIED on the opposition using violence against him. It was a very clever way of using violence unconventionally.

Why? How one bases one's moral system is arbitrary. Using one doesn't make a person any "smarter" than using another.Yes it does.
It could've been much worse. He certainly mitigated the conflict.Perhaps, however he was unable to stop it.

He didn't use violence, he advocated everyone not to use violence, thus he's a pacifist. QED.I think Ghandi was very much a participant in violence, he was just a general and not a footsoldier. In fact, his strategy RELIED on the opposition using violence against him. It was a very clever way of using violence unconventionally.
And it didn't rely on the opposition using violence against him. Violence was how the Brits kept control of India. If they didn't use violence, they would lose India, and the goal would be accomplished with absolutely no bloodshed.Last edited by Ramo; January 12, 2004, 01:00."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.

Ramo, if the British and other opponents had not mad themselves look so bad trying to oppress this poor old man he would not have succeeded.
Ghandi did not believe in violence, but he knew damn well his enemies were not of the same point of view. He tailored his "peaceful" strategies to suit this. He used other peoples violence for his own ends.
daft cunning of him

You must've missed my edit:
