- Note: I am Irish, and I have studied this issue at a local history level.
'The Famine is the fault of the British' is one of those lines of history, like 'The Civil War was fought to free the slaves.'
One liners which have become immortal but fail miserably to explain the complex web of Social issues, Economic issues and Enviromental issues which drive history.
If the British Landlords were responsiable for the terrible death toll, then Irish Landlords must be equally to blame. Remember that farming in the British Isles became depressed after the end of the napoleonic wars. These 'rich' British landlords were for the most part in debt up to their eyebrows. They were land rich cash poor and relied on their rents to pay the banks and their employees. Many went bust and the're land was taken over by the small but growing irish catholic middle class. The irish landlords were equally dependent on rents. And their response to the famine was just as mixed as the Anglo irish response.

Answer:
The settlement of Gandhi forced the landlords to give away their money and thus with it a part of the indigo, their prestige. It made clear that the landlords (British) could also be questioned
