He was also aware of the anomaly in the position of Britain in the fight to deny India its freedom. But Gandhi refused to adopt such an attitude. "We do not seek to ruin our independence from Britain. This is not the path of nonviolence."
Gandhi did not believe the condition of non-violence, but he was realistic enough to know that he could not take most of the leaders of Congress. It was not vain enough to insist that Congress accept its terms even though he knew that in the impending political crisis of the party could not do without it.
