No, the British had a conscience and that was the "weakness" Gandhi exploited. The world abounds with injustice. History is built on injustice. Every nation sits on land which was taken, often violently, from someone else in either the recent or distant past. The proper question, therefore, revolves not around 'rightful claims' but only around how are 'conflicting claims' to be resolved? For this purpose humanity has attempted to construct laws, but laws sometimes fail. War, as Clausewitz observed, is the continuation of politics by other means. But it is terribly inefficient. Gandhi showed a better way.
