False. Clearly.
Wow...
actually that was true . . . undeniably he postulated this.





but first all other attempts at resolution must be exhausted.





EDIT: to the complete moron that thumbed me down (not that it matters) . . . you really do not have a clue do you. If you bother to actually find out you will find out when, where and why Gandhi listed the steps of civil disobedience . . . I'm sure that the truth affects you about as much as bad breath, but really. . . . open your eyes.
Gandhi taught ';passive resistance'; and abhorred violence.

Do you understand what ';legitimate violence'; was according to Gandhi?





Legitimate violence means (in the violent sense,) to kill animals that threaten humans or death to reduce human suffering.





Legitimate violence is in fact violence that is necessary for ones own defense. It is not something Gandhi thought up for himself, it is from the “Bhagavad- Gita” and first uttered by Krishna. To protect ones self from violence, one must embrace violence. It is not violence for the sake of violence. Do you understand that?





So, to be non-violent, you must embrace legitimate violence, which leads to a struggle with ones self. If he even said it. I can't find the quote.
