Everyone is influenced by everyone. Gandhi also said he was deeply influenced by Thoreau and the American Transcendentalists. But he articulated it as a political philosophy in a way no one else had done before.

Tolstoy was quite systematic in his theoretical writings on non-violence and its connections to politics (esp. in "The Kingdom of God is Within You"), I would daresay more than Gandhi
