I downvoted your parent comment for misspelling Gandhi[0] (as Ghandi, which they corrected now, well after my comment, without calling it out); doesn't go well with the confident assertion about why the British left India.

That's not a valid reason to downvote, unless you're sure they did it purpose as an insult. You could have just pointed out the error.

I pointed out why I downvoted. Not for the misspelling, but using a common incorrect spelling when making a confident assertion about the Indian independence movement. I am sure the commenter knows nothing about it, so I downvoted.
