British left because after two world wars they were nearly bankrupt plus within hundred years they successfully destroyed local Indian industry. At that time India was not feeding British or its other colonies or trade routes but was a big burden. It took British hundred years to destroy India but Indian Communists are more successful, they are able to achieve same in 15 years.
Hitler would have killed Gandhi on his B'day. British kept Gandhi because they were using him.
What my father and grand father told me, whether you like Gandhi or not , but during those days whenever people will hear Gandhi is coming near by, people will walk miles to see him. My father was in hostel and he decided to skip school to see him, he along with his friends walked more than day to reach Harayana. But during partition whole thing changed, people started spitting on Gandhi picture. Kids will walk and slap Gandhi posters with slippers.
During Godse trial my dad hides days to capture Godse pictures during his trial in Shimla. We still have his pictures along with 7-8 police man.
Gandhi was stubborn person; He was at right place, at right time. British were using west educated Indians (Elite) to delay freedom movement. Some says Gandhi and Nehru actually delayed India's freedom.
India could have achieved freedom after World War-1.
