Answer:

The passive resistance movement was monumentally important in achieving Indian independence. It was considerably more effective than revolutions because the British government was powerful enough to end any attempted revolutions. However, they were not prepared for the consistent and strategic civil disobedience that eventually led to the independence of India.
