Film lesson "Gandhi"


Gandhi used certain acts to gain Indian Independence, like the "Salt march" which was when lots of Indians went to the beach to get and make their own salt. Reason being to show the British that they can be independent without using Britain's resources. And many other events like such. It did help that he was a lawyer! His philosophy was to do all of this without using any violence to achieve Indian independence. He starved himself(Fasting), he was arrested many times for his people, and he boycotted British clothing and made his own: well by doing so he got arrested!
