Really? How do we know that?

Now that's just silly!
Unarmed students trying to be violent towards tanks and the army?
What do you see as the best outcome from that?
Equally daft is trying to claim the better argument by way of citing the
most examples. I can come up with thousands of examples of battles won
with swords and spears, but only a few hundred won with guns. That
doesn't mean swords are better than guns.
Besides, Ghandi wasn't a triumph of peace over force. The British didn't use
much force at all. It was more a triumph of peace over peace.
