The tanks killed everyone who stood up to them at that event and those in charge of the tanks are still in charge. Civil disobedience doesn’t work when the masters are willing and rejoice at killing you.
"STUDENTS LINKED ARMS BUT WERE MOWN DOWN INCLUDING SOLDIERS. APCS THEN RAN OVER BODIES TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO MAKE " PIE " AND REMAINS COLLECTED BY BULLDOZER. REMAINS INCINERATED AND THEN HOSED DOWN DRAINS."

Yup. The Brits weren’t willing to be violent against Ghandi.
The British Empire was concerned about maintaining the government mandate from the people of the UK. The people of the UK were more free then than we are now, because they still had actual influence over their leaders.
Yes, no one ever shares the picture of what happened AFTER this.
Anyone who still thinks this is some paragon of civil disobedience and all the tanks just went home should search "tiananmen square dead bodies"
Bodies were moved aside like trash after being mowed down

It is the paragon of civil disobedience. Knowing what comes next is important. Civil disobedience and elections didn’t make Ireland independent.
