Film Lesson-''Gandhi''

Gandhi helped his country gain independance from Great Britain by not using violence he believed in civil disobidience which means to disobey without using violence. Gandhis methods were very effective because the britians hit them and beat them and the Idians would not fight back, which made them angry. Gandhi made many marchs and protest, he was also put in jail many times but he continued to protest and encourage the Indians not to give up, another way he protested was by fasting. Gandhi refused to wear any of the clothes made by Great Britian so he made his own, he did not buy anything from the Britians and told his followers to do the same. I do not think Indias independance was all about Gandhi he just encouraged it and helped, the Indians would have gained independance sooner or later.
