white-skinned americans and aussies were colonizers who had the privilege of killing the natives. brown-skinned indians were slaves who had the misfortunate of being killed by the white-skinned colonizers.
to preserve what he wants preserved, to protect what he wants protected, a political man takes resolute and, yes, sometimes extremely violent actions. we get to judge his political actions by their prudence: were they too excessive? were they necessary? was there another way to get the same results? but we never get to judge the morality of these actions.
and who are you to compare political titans like stalin and mao to a few disobedient slaves? stalin's domestic enemies wanted him dead; his foreign enemies wanted to destroy all russian possessions in europe. gandhi's "enemies" just expected to make productive slaves out of gandhi's fellow indians. stalin's enemies wanted russia erased from the face of the planet; indians' rightful owners wanted indians to be productive, not dead. so stalin's armies must slaughter its way to berlin, whereas gandhi's "army" would just pull some pranks and do some merrymaking on the street and declared themselves unuseful and unproductive in hope that their owners would release them from their shackles. stalin's enemies took butcher knives to him; gandhi's masters only took out their whips. because indians were largely slaves and assets to the brits, indians' never faced ruthless, genuine hate and never needed to produce a political leadership that would incite hate to oppose such genuine hate. so what qualifications do you slaves possess to judge a true political leader, who, for all his flaws, had to contend with political choices between giving up on his nation and himself and killing tens of millions who got in his way of preserving the self and the country? for true political men, the value they fight and kill for and the way they accomplish their objectives can only be understood and assessed by fellow political men. indian slaves should be content to live under the long-lasting gandhi dynasty and never again presume to judge the actions of great political men.
