The father of your nation, Mr. Gandhi would be also guilty of that with his non-cooperation movement during the British Raj.
Im not sure that is a fair comparison Sir.Gandhiji was fighting in the greater interest of Humanity without having malice for the British and without yearning for Political Power.
We however have a different story.Everybody is fighting to preserve their own interests.One guy wants to send expats home becoz it serves his purpose.Another wants the 6 month notice revoked coz he wants to jump to another company.A third wants to bring everything to a standstill in the name of career progression.The list is endless.
Nobody can make up for the loss this country has had to go through in the name of Strikes,Bandhs,Protests,Industrial agitation etc.And it has almost always been the agenda of some vested interests.
