Hi Is Mise,

Gandhi was against injustice. Many people still have the
idea that non-violent action is passive. There is nothing
passive about Gandhi's non-violent action. His action was
not a evasive strategy, not a defensive one.

Gandhi was always on the offensive. He believed in
confronting his opponents aggressively in such a way that they
could not avoid dealing with him.

There's an excellent book on the subject by Mark Shepard
on the myths and misconceptions about Gandhi. It's an
interesting read.
