Gandhi


Gandhi helped India gain it's independence by using civil disobidience, he encouraged the people of India not to purchase British Goods, not to send their children to British schools, and not to pay their taxes. Another way Gandhi helped India gain their independence was the Salt March, the government said that people must purchase government-made salt, and Gandhi went against the new tax on salt, and walked 240 miles to the sea to make salt, almost 60,000 Indians followed him.
