This is a fascinating question. Looking at his methods to do civil disobedience,
I would say that the main characteristic of them is turning the aggression of the British colonial power on itself.
He was a master at producing the effect of showing sheer, brute military force against a defenseless populace. The "prophet in rags" was able to show the restraining forces of police and military fighting against a non-enemy, the local peasants, without no weapons whatsoever.
This peaceful methods of non-violent resistance are indeed not using violence; what is surprising is that even not having one aggressive action, they are able to destroy military discipline and morale.
What is the fun of going to war if the enemy doesn't react? when there is absolutely no violent response, the use of force begins to be experienced as ridiculous, unnecessary and unjust.
This is what did the Brits in: to be seen as massacring unarmed civilians and thus depicted as sanguinary, cruel and stupidly violent destroyed troops' morale and forced them to drop their arms.
What else can I help you with?

Difference between habits and character?
Habit is similar to public "Burping". Some societies like it (as a symbol of being well fed or having enjoyed their meal as guests) and others call is "Gross" (as in bad mannered). No one is wrong. Character is similar to being "Mahatma Gandhi" or being "Hitler". Mahatma Gandhi burped and not the best dressed individual, but was a globally accepted highest character individual that mankind has seen. Hitler was well dressed/perhaps well mannered army general, and perhaps did not burp in public but was the worst character mankind has ever seen! Hope this gives you the pointers to exactly understand the difference :)
