Why didn't the British in India execute Gandhi?
If he was such a headache for them and proved to be a threat to their rule, surely they could justify killing him?
Or would the backlash from the population prove to be too much?
Only reason I ask this is because on Wikipedia I read this:
"In 1937 Hitler told the British Foreign SecretaryLord Halifax that the British should "shoot Gandhi, and if this doesn't suffice to reduce them to submission, shoot a dozen leading members of the Congress, and if that doesn't suffice shoot 200, and so on, as you make it clear that you mean business."
