What if there was someone like Wrex for the Indian Independence movement over the course of the protests?

How would it effect history?

How would Ghandi react?

For those wondering, Wrex is a character from Mass Effect who's a warlord that governs all of Tuchanka, a death-world. In this case he institutes various reforms that improves the lives of the Krogan, the people under his command, quite amazing. Of course this is done at the point of gun and Wrex isn't afraid to use violence if necessary.
So for Wrex Violence is a means to an end but something he has much experience with.

Further-more Wrex is an excellent administrator and quite charismatic.:cool:
 
Well...I suppose first we should point out that the Indians don't and have never behaved like Krogans, and that India is not a "death-world."

The 20th century has given us many examples of charismatic dictators who don't mind killing their own people to institute internal reforms. All of them are considered candidates for the Hall of Unforgivable Monsters. Mostly because, unlike Krogan society, human society doesn't thrive off of violence and death.

So India becomes a terrible place as Wrex's "Cultural Revolution" or whatever he decides to call it attempts to bring the country up to his ideals. Even if some of those ideals might through random happenstance look similar to ideals forwarded by enlightened humanism, the methods have never once (that I can think of IOTL) proven to be "worth it."

It's quite a different situation when your planet has literally been nuked to the point where it can barely sustain life and the alternative to one relatively (very, very relatively) enlightened tyrant is a spiral of clannish destruction that will see your species destroyed.
