Film Lesson: "Gandhi"

Gandhi helped his country gain independence from the British with a series of protest. These protest slowly loosened the grip Britain power over the Indian people. Gandhi and his followers would not stop until all of India was free or until they were all dead.
First Gandhi joined the Indian people who had been segregated by religion. He held public speeches telling the Indian people that they had to join forces to conquer the British control. Once Gandhi had the full support of all of India he started to lead them into a rebellion against the British. Gandhi’s rebellion was a new type of rebellion that he dubbed “Civil Disobedience”. His way of rebellion was through nonviolent protest and demonstrations. Gandhi taught his followers never to harm the British even when the British would harm them. Soon because of his nonviolent protest we won not only the support of the Indian people but also the support of people around the world. Some major defiance of the British control was the salt march and the refusal to by British cloth. Although Gandhi did bring India to freedom he is not the sole reason for it. India was ripe for rebellion already. The Indian people were already ready to rebel all they needed was a strong leader.
