whats up with all this hype about gandhi?

He is known for his "non-violent" teaching, which many of us believe played squarely in the hands of colonial powers everywhere in the world since it helped pacify (pussyfy) the native populace. And hence colonial powers propped up Gandhi everywhere.

But a serious question is this - who was he preaching "non-violent" struggle to? If it were to muslims, then it makes sense since muslims historically have a short fuse and are ready to pick guns before imam finishes his friday khutba. If it were to hindoos, then it doesnt make sense. Hindoos are really not known for violence. World knows them as meek wobbly headed cheap labor that has been peacefully deployed for railways in africa to sugarcane plantations in carribean to java coding in North America. Neither is this concept of "non-violence" new to hindoo history. As our resident scheduled caste Jang would be quick to remind you, achoots have been waging a "non-violent" struggle against bramans for 5000 years and by the looks of it, plan to continue that "non-violent" struggle for another 5000 years.

Picking up guns against an established order is platepissing and hindoos have never stood for that. So whats up with all this hype about this niece fukker?
