Gandhiji vs. Bhagat Singh

We all know that Bhagat Singh and Gandhiji’s methods contrasted in getting Indian Independence.

1.Do you think India’s independence was ultimately the result of Bhagat Singh’s methods or Gandhiji’s methods or a combination?
2. Do you think independence could have come faster if Indian National Congress had adopted Bhagat Singh’s methods in addition to Gandhiji’s?
3. Many of Bhagat Singh’s supporters also accuse Gandhiji of being responsible for Bhagat Singh’s death. Some of them believe that Gandhiji could have stopped Bhagat Singh’s execution if he desired.

I would like to know debaters point of view over this chapter in Indian history.

OK
i honestly dunno the history of this in TOO much detail..
but i'm all for Gandhi's agenda about peace and no war.
re independence being achieved sooner???
surely to have had that, ppl should have avoided the trap of the British Raj to start off with.

Oooo...historical debate.

I don't know much about Bhagat Singh. India's independance was definitely the result of rising Nationalism in India. Could it have come faster? Well, when the British Raj began India was in a complete state due to collapse of the Mughal empire. This made it a vulnerable target as during that time it was very divided thus allowing the British to take control. What India needed was a united uprsing which occured on the day of the Amritsar Massacre and that was a huge turning point for India. So personally, I don't think Ghandiji or Bhagat Singh had that much of an influence.
