Best Answer

He preached "Ahisma" or peaceful boycott against British rule. He more than anybody else in the Indian Congress or Muslim minorities (before 1947) appeased radicalism and civil violence. His views, although arguably naive, were internationally appraised. Besides, for the colonial rulers it was all the more difficult to "appease" revolts if these were peaceful demonstrations that called for self-rule, "Swaraj".

Although he did not succeed in holding India together, neither in avoiding civil war, he died (in 1947 while appeasing civil war in Bengal) being a hero. His naivety must be balanced with his spiritual determination and virtuous personality, which ultimately granted him the tittle of Mahatma Gandhi.
