LMAO, honesty and dislike of colonial rule pretty much qualify as shared political views, no?
The major difference between Orwell and Gandhi is they did not see eye to eye about what to do in India, and the path Gandhi took struck Orwell as self promoting, and the fact it worked in India was just chance. Gandhi was also very convinced in Satyagraha as a method to be used anywhere, to which Orwell objects profusely.
Do the ends justify the means?
