Gandhi was well known for his pacifist role and what he achieved in life but Britain left India more due to the effects of WW2, the damage and cost incurred and the loss of prestige of the Empire. They put down the Indian National Congress in '42 and their wish to leave India but over the course of the war had to promise that India would be given Independence. Now that’s not to say the role of Gandhi and Nehru is diminished, they played massive roles, but there is fallacy to credit the withdrawal of the British only to the role of Gandhi. Bear in mind also, that Gandhi also made sure never to hinder the war effort and that India contributed massively, and willingly for the most part, to Imperial Britain.

Kasparov very critical of US sanctions (and UK of course):
