    You mean this suffragette movement?

    Yes. It was a peaceful movement. Their goals weren’t achieved through violence.

    Why is India partitioned, then?

    The goal of the movement was to end British rule over the subcontinent, and they achieved that goal.

    Kind of a special case; the USSR collapsed all by itself and didn’t try to oppose them.

    You’re not giving these people their credit. The Soviet Union was filled with violent factions that wanted to prevent dissolution and the end of communism. These people managed to literally sing their way to independence.
