Many Indians who protested British rule were Muslims. Notable was Mohammed Ali Jinnah.

Wasn't he the founder of Pakistan? Didn't get a very good portrayal in the movie Gandhi as I recall.

Do you have any knowledge if the Muslims were as into "peaceful resistance" as the others in India allegedly were during that time? My knowledge of the period is pretty limited, so even the "peaceful resistance" thing may be more revisionist history than reality, but it made for a good film!
