Interestingly, Denmark used nonviolent resistance very effectively against the Nazis while being a nominal ally of Germany. (If they weren't distracted by fighting a war, it probably wouldn't have been nearly as effective, though - the Nazis simply couldn't spare the manpower to effectively impose martial law, although they did attempt to do so.)

It's an unfair example. Danes were fellow Aryans, and so were objects of empathy in a sense that folks in India wouldn't have been.

Agreed.
