Gandhi

There were many great leaders of independence, and Gandhi was one of them. He lead the independence of his home country of India from the control of Great Britain. Unlike some of the other independence leaders he used non violent methods. India was controlled by Great Britain during the scramble to conqure land around the world to have more power than other European nations. Gandhi wanted to stop the injust of Great Britians towards the Indians in India and South Africa. One example from the movie, that Great Britain did not treated Indians with the same right that they have, was when Gandhi was thrown litearly out of the train when he did not wanted to sit in 3rd class part of the train when he had a 1st class ticket. Just because he was an indian and they were not allowed to sit in 1st class or have a first class ticket.
Indians in South Africa have to had at all times a type of identification card and the british people who were there did not have to have one. This angered the Indians alot and what also made them mad was that they could not have power in higher places because only the British people can. Gandhi had a plan and wanted the whole Indian people to follow his plan. He wanted Britsh rule over India to weakened so he got everyone to boycott Britsh goods and if they dont buy anything they wouldnt have to pay taxes. So everyday people had to make food and make there own clothing. What they did was even travel 240 miles to the sea coast and get salt beacuse people need some. What helped India get its independence was the WW1 that was going on. Also was the non violent methods Gandhi used. But everytime the Britsh government always tried to find an excuse to send Gandhi to jail, what they didnt know was that it help to increase his popularity. Using non violence was great beacuse it angered a little the Britsh government beacuse they couldnt but them to jail beacuse they did not do anything wrong. It made the Britsh government seem like awful people the ones with no sympathy. And it made people around the world backup Gandhi for the independence of India.
The Indians were tried of the mistreatment of the British government so I believe there independence would have happened any ways but what I do believe was that it would have started and been a different way then when Gandhi was leading them but at the end they would have gotten there independence. They would have used violent methods and would loose hundereds even maybe thousands of people. If Gandhi did not rose up and lead them there would probably be someone else or a group of people that would have gottan control.
