Its true that Gandhi did have a compromising attitude towards the British during WWII and even stated that "We do not seek independence out of Britain's ruin". Though Gandhi was the most influential figure in the political scenario at the time, it's important to remember that simply because he wanted to maintain a compromising attittude towards the British, many of the other political leaders of the time did not wish to do so.
