The reason Gandi was so succesful was because he had soo many people with him. In this day and
age we don't have the numbers.
The reason Gandhi was successful is because he employed startling strategies of self-sacrifice that educated his opponents about the injustices perpetrated against him and his people. He understood how the media worked and took advantage of it. He used non-violence to effect conscience and change beliefs, an absolutely amazing thing. And he did have the problem of splinter groups with diverse agendas-- They became Pakistan.
