Explanation

The immediate precipitating factor for India's independence was the Quit India Movement (1942) - a massive campaign of nonviolent protest during WWII. The movement convinced Britain that maintaining colonial control was impossible. The assassination (1948) and partition (1947) happened after independence was already decided. Gandhi's targeted destruction campaign doesn't describe Quit India accurately.
