Film Lesson: Gandhi

Without Gandhi, I think that India would have been under British rule longer. He was the brave one who stood up for the whole of India for its freedom under British rule.

One of the main things that Gandhi did was that he rebelled a lot. He refused to follow any British rules. Doing this, showed the British that the Indians did not need them to go on in life. For example, he refused to buy British products. He refused to buy salt and buy British cloth. As a result of refusing to buy British products, he wove his own clothes and he produced his own salt from the ocean.

Gandhi also did things in a non-violent way. When the British were putting him under arrest for specific charges, he did not fight or argue about it. He basically just went with the flow. Also, when the British was beating him down for disobeying the British law, he just took the beatings and did not fight back. He believed that not fighting back with the British showed that they were stronger.
