He organized strikes, peaceful resistance. He also had support. Although he appeared as a "coolie", (to the embarrassment of Nehru and other members of All India Congress Committee), he wasn't alone. He had mainstream support. He also gained support of Indian's peasants.
Even without Gandhi, the odds are that the British would have left India. The All India Congress was often in negotiations with the British. The relationship between the British and India was much different than the relationship between Israel and Palestinians.
I noticed you also called him a pedophile and another stuff...So what was the purpose of that? Yeah, yeah, it was India and he married when he was 14 and his wife was 13. He was rumored to have been with teen girls and was obsessed with celibacy and temptation, but that was irrelevant to what he did. Of course he was a misogynist. He was born in 1869. He was from a culture of arranged marriages. He wasn't out to create any "sexual liberation movement or feminist movement". His purpose anti-colonialism. My grandfather and great grandfather were also the same way. They were a product of their times, culture and arranged marriages. Many Palestinian men have more than one wife. Some have three or four. So, I'm pretty sure they're misogynists too. Marriages are also arranged in Gaza.
He didn't set himself on fire.
