Film Lesson: "Gandhi"

Gandhi was a very inspirational man. He inspired one of the most famous man in the world, Martin Luther King Jr. a leader of the Civil Rights Movements. Gandhi main goal was to try to bring together the Hindu and Muslim people. Using many non-violent protest, he proved to be a pain to the British. Gandhi used non-violence because it made them in control. If the British tried to attack or use force on them then it would make the British look bad. This method proved to be effective because the less violence that the indians did, the more it made England look bad when the press from the United States arrived. One of Gandhi most memorable protest was the Salt March. The Salt March was basically Gandhi marching with hundreds of other indians thousands of miles to the ocean in order to make there own salt. Gandhi did this with many other items such as clothes, and yarn. He did this in order to show that he did not approve of the British and there items, which is why he did the Salt March so he could make his own salt.

Indias indepence was highly influence by Mohandas Gandhi. Gandhi gave them hope and will power to use non-violence in the protests and to never give up. As shown in the movie , he never gave up on his people. He went to jail many times for his people because of the little laws he broke when they protested. Also he didn't buy any of the governments clothes which was a big influence to the independence of India. I think the Indians without Gandhi would of got their independence, but not for a while because not many people believe in non-violence until Gandhi promoted it to the people for decades.
