> Countries like India are unique for gaining freedom without violence.

There was a lot of violence leading up to and, sadly, after the independence of India. Gandhi was nonviolent, but many of the freedom fighters for India's independence were not.

Additionally, the British couldn't hope to hold onto India without the support of the British Indian army which at that point seemed ready to revolt.

The US's antiviral anti colonial stance also helped.

Sure. There's basically no examples of non-violent revolutions. India is the closest thing I can think up today.
