Film Lesson: Gandhi


Gandhi set up protests in order to gain independence from th British. He did the salt march and he told India that they should make their own clothes and not to buy from the British. He used the concept of non-voilence he made the British how the were treating India. That made the British a hated Emprie from the countires.
