How did Gandhi deal with the violence he saw and heard about?

In response to continued unrest and violence, Gandhi embarked on a fast to death. He breaks his fast only when all parties agreed to end the violence in Calcutta. Next, Gandhi addressed the situation in New Delhi where violence and murder and disease were raging. He worked effortlessly to quell the violence and promote peace and love to the warring Hindus and Moslems alike. However, there was so much anger that the odds were against him. He decided to fast to death again--it would be his last.
