Film Lesson: "Gandhi"

When Gandhi saw that his people were being treated unfairly he began to gather with them so they could speak out for their rights and call for peace.

One was his great achievements was to fight back but not with fist but words.

When he started to notice that even though they were protesting for their independence they were still wearing the British clothes. So Gandhi brought all his people together and told them that they could protest against the British while wearing their clothes. He stood there with the only clothes that he had that was note British which was one piece of cloth that he wore around his waist. He told them to stand tall and proud like him with his one garment of clothing because they only spoke for Britain.He told to make their own clothes and wear it with pride.

During a time in the beginning of Indias' search for independence Gandhi had stopped eating and would only drink water until Indias' protest with violence was stopped. It eventually stopped.

Another of his successes was when he created the Salt March. He knew that to take out the British they had to take the cloth out from underneath. The British hold on India was strong because they knew that they needed salt to survive in the heat so they held it under their government. Gandhi then took his people and went to the sea to gather their own salt. They were successful until they again arrested Gandhi to try and stop the flow of the coming independence. The British soon learned that Gandhi had the support of all the people and even while in jail the protest still went on.

While in jail the leaders of India stood the people in rows of four and five to take the walk to the awaiting British troopers. They came and came. And in the end, they won their independence.

Even though the war was said to supposedly to have been over with India being split India and Pakistan for the Hindu and the Muslim, Gandhi was still assassinated. It is said that he was killed because there was another religion in India and they didn't think that it was fair that they didn't have their own country like the Hindu and the Muslim even though Gandhi wanted India to stay as one so everyone could blend together and get along with different religions. Gandhi did not pick sides. He didn't pick religions. He was every person and every religion.
