Would you agree that it could have been Nationalism that inspired the Freedom Movement, and not Gandhi, Nalwa?
Can we compare the two? One is an emotion, other is a personality.
Gandhi couldn't have been so great a leader if not for his nationalistic feelings. And his followers couldn't be just driven by blind support for one person if not for their nationalistic passions. But yes, nationalism is a far greater factor in the freedom struggle than Gandhi alone. What Gandhi did was to embody nationalism in one way. Bose, Bhagat, Azad in another.
