I think I understand where you’re coming from, and this is mostly humor and pedantry on my part, but given that the definition of “battery” is “unlawful intentional infliction of harmful or offensive physical contact,” the quote from Gandhi isn’t “pushing” it, rather is in perfect alignment, as he stated “unlawful” use as his acceptable use of violence.
Seems like pushing the definition of battery, buy I guess it does call for battering someone under certain conditions. 😅

That’s true! If you punch me in the face in an illegal manner, I’m also battered!
