yes, his tactics did work hereHe's been dead quite a while. Can't hold him entirely responsible for the current situations in India and Pakistan. I do credit his influence, his methods of non violent civil disobediance and boycotts, on the success of the civil rights movements in the US in the 50's and 60's.
but they failed more because of who was involved over there
actually, i dont look at it as a failure on HIM, so much as a failure of the parties involved
