The guy you quoted (me) also said (in the post that you quoted) that:
"
Society changes when people force it to change. Whether that force is a violent revolution or a passive resistance does not matter, it still requires people to actively force the society's change to occur. If no one forces change to take place, odds are nothing will change because the other people will be actively trying to force things to stay the way they are."
Ghandi forced change, had he not forced change and waited for things to change naturally (as you suggested) then nothing would have changed.
Change seldom happens in a vacuum. It almost always requires some kind of driver to make it happen. If one person is not willing to step up and try to enact change then nothing will happen until the next person comes along and is actually willing to "fight" for their cause (or passively resist for their cause).
