Film Lesson: "Gandhi"

Gandhi was born on Oct 2,1869. Mohandos  Karamchand Gandhi an Indian philosopher who fought for the independence of India which was under the control of the British. Gandhi fought against the British using non-violence, he believed that violence will only lead to more violence and that wasn't what he wanted. He led his people to boycott the British, in other words Gandhi told his people to not buy anything from the British. He told his people to stop buying British goods and to make their own cloths. The salt march was one of the things that Gandhi did, the salt march was when Gandhi and his people would walk 10 miles a day to the sea ocean and make their own salt. This was totally illegal, the British  didn't let people make their own salt without their permission. In the end India got their Independence and Gandhi was the savior of India, but Gandhi didn't complete everything he did. He also wanted the Muslim and Hindu to get along and live together, but this never happened and now the two religions are separated. Most muslim now live in Pakistan.

Extra Credit: I think India wouldn't have won their independence from British without Gandhi because no one would have the guts to lead India and if India was to use violence against the British, the British would have won because of their technology. World War II happened when India won its Independence from the British. Another reason why the Indians won their independence from British was because British couldn't be worrying about India while fighting Hilter in WWII
