Film lesson:"Ghandi"


Gandhi was a very important for history, he became one of the most important person to the Indian nation from the harsh rule of Great Britain. Some of the ways things Ghandi did to oppose british rule were always acts of non-violence. Gandhi would lead a march to some near factory of some sort. There, he would protest in a peaceful way, with his followers right behind him. Another thing Gandhi did was produce his own supplies. In India, both salt and clothes were costing the people a whole bunch. To save themselves from this, Gandhi declared that all the Indian people would make their own clothes.
He also led the salt march and he did this by going to the ocean with people and taking out the salt from the ocean and this saved them money. The british did not like this because they were losing money so the sent troops to where Ghandi was and the people went up to the troops and let them beat them and this made britain look bad. Ghandi was someone people looked up to also because if a follower of him would commit violence he would fast until the violence would completely stop.
Finally India got its independence because britain was at another war so they had to start worrying about their country so they gave up on India, but Ghandi was shot by people who didn't like his ideas because Ghandi wanted everyone to live together.
