I agree with the gist of your post but It hardly matters if Gandhi took two weeks for the agitation. But the main point is that Gandhi was able to rally a large group of Indians. Of course others should also be given the credit for the agitation during those times and Gandhi was not the only person for various sacrifices during the struggle<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Anyway all the known Lords, Viceroys and etc were all antagonistic towards hindus, as they thought, rightfully so, only Hindus opposed British.

And the British identified the entire INC and supporters as Hindus even if there was a large Muslim supporters of INC. They wanted the Hindus or Indians to understand that they are the losers during the independence. Hence they made sure that partition happened and also Pakistan was encouraged to attack Kashmir just after independence.

One man was able to rally the Hindus in an united manner. And they were opposed to that man and wanted to avoid negotiating with that man.
