He campaigned through nonviolent tactics and actively sought to prevent bloodshed against anyone. Through imprisonment, riots and a massacre against the Indian people, Gandhi maintained his passiveness and he became a persuasive and highly revered figure in India. Gandhi eventually succeeded in realizing an independent India in 1947, though he was assassinated in 1948. At the time of India's first day of independence, Gandhi was in [[Calcutta]], attempting to quell some of the emerging riots, but according to ''[[Mario's Time Machine]]'', Gandhi was there to celebrate India's independence alongside its citizens. However, before they could fly India's new [[Flag (India)|Flag]], it is stolen by [[Bowser]], and [[Mario]], attempting to return the flag, meets with Gandhi in Calcutta. | ||
