Film Lesson - "Gandhi"

Gandhi helped his nation by protesting, boycotting and all with non-violence. He told the Indian people to stop buying the british made clothes and make their own like he did. They also march all the way to the sea to make their own salt because the british taxed their salt. While Gandhi was doing this he didnt want violence. When the Indian people would fight back he would fast. He didnt want violence because his plan was to make the British look bad. He went to jail many times but still continued to march after.

The indians were killled by the dozens without even raising a finger in resistance from the british attack. In the End, India won their Indipendence but muslims got their own country, Pakistan. While the hindus stayed in India. Gandhi didnt want it to turn out that way. He wanted the muslims and Hindus to stay together.
