Film lesson: "Gandhi"




Ghandi was a great influence on India during the 1940's. He helped get India freedom from the British. Ghandi was against violence and thought that if the Indians were nonviolent during the British then it would make the Indians look better than the British. Which he was right. So how did they gain independence without violence? Ghandi organized strategies like everyone making their own clothing instead of buying it from the British. They also went on a Salt March in which they walked the whole beach and collected and made their own salt. The British made it a law in which the Indians only could buy salt from the British. This got the British upset. Nonviolent acts like these led to the independence of India.
