Yes, that has direct precedent. And with the most obvious precedent, was the alternative taken when that group [surprisingly! /s] didn't do what Gandhi thought

Yes, that has direct precedent. And with the most obvious precedent, was the alternative taken when that group [surprisingly! /s] didn't do what Gandhi thought they should have done. Edit: but that isn't nonviolent protest, it's just leaving your home. It doesn't cause any political change, and it's not at all the logical extreme of nonviolent protest (the logical extreme is stupid, and seems only to have ever been carried out by millenarian cults, but hey ho).
