I am reflecting on the non-violent movements of Gandhi vs. Martin Luther King and I am noticing many similarities. One question I am finding though is was there another movement that opposed Gandhi's movement of non-violence in favor of a violent solution?
Martin Luther King had the opposing force of Malcolm X who was a proponent of radical change using radical methods. This almost helped define Martin Luther King's movement and gave it the definition of being completely non-violent.
I have never heard of any Indian movements at the same time of Gandhi which called for aggressive reaction. This will be something I need to look into, though. If anyone has any insight into this, that would be great! :)
