Is it true that Gandhi led India to independence through nonviolent resistance?
Yes. Multiple reference works state that Gandhi led India's independence movement through nonviolent resistance, with several explicitly linking his nonviolent campaigns to independence in 1947. Other sources confirm his nonviolent strategy but focus on narrower aspects.
