You really think one Gandhi fasting had the effect that it did on the Britishers ? If it hadn’t created a mass movement, nothing much would have happened. Otherwise we would have every single person with a grouse against the govt going on hunger strike, and the govt would be bending over backwards to accomodate him.

Same thing happened a few days ago, with masses supporting Anna Hazare and forcing the govt to give in.

So if Ghandis fasting started a mass movement, as has Hazaras recently, why not in the case of the woman fasting in protest for ten years now?
