Gandhi is told, "You have given them a way to fight." What is this way?

What this means is that, Gandhi has given the Indians the right to fight for thier freedom (That is, he santioned the protest to ensure that Indians gained their independence through his "Do or Die mantra" - Get the indepence or die trying)

Explanation:

Gandhi is an Indian Statesman who wanted to see India free from the colonial masters grip. He led a series of non violent protest against the British government in trying to persuade them to allow the Indians to gain their independence.

During the Quit India movement of 1942, Gandhi did give a slogan of "Do or Die" Gandhi believed in leading by example hence the reason why he is always present during the protest.
