So the net value of your sense of fighting for justice and right is only one dollar and 41 cents !
Gandhi did not shun violence for good - only India was not to use it for political ends. Gandhi actively recruited for the army to help the British during WWI, and gave tacit approval for the same in WWII when India could also be used as base by the Allied forces. Besides casualties on the military front, millions died of stravation as British requisitioned food in Bengal for war efforts.

Gandhi shunned violence only against the British rulers. Gandhi actually wanted Indian soldiers to fight for the British in the World War II. Most probably Gandhi was a British mole.

He also did not denounce the jallian walla bag saga, but said that the meeting should not have been held. he backed British indirectly and nehru only reconnoitered the saga and said it was wrong in 1962.That the British were at fault. His words were not worth a bean in 1962.
