The movie "Gandhi" shows the life and teachings of Mohandas Gandhi. Mohandas or also known as "Great Soul," was born October 2,1869 and was assassinated January 30,1948. Gandhi was best known for his non-violence and the Salt March. The British were paying taxes on their salt and the Indians thought this was unfair. Gandhi and his crew took action and decided to get their own salt.
Mohandas Gandhi was compared to Martin Luther King, Jr, Malcolm X and many more. Another thing Gandhi did was to encourage all the Indians to make their own clothing by using a small machine. They burned all the clothes that the British made. Gandhi used two hours of his time to make his own clothing. He went to prison four times but that didn't stop him from gaining India's independance. He also believed in civil-disobedience which was refusal to obey laws.
India got their independance and on January 30,1948, he was assassinated by a hindu. I think India's independance was all about Gandhi because if it wasn't for him then India would still be under British rule. During this time World War II was occurring. This is the life of Mohandas Gandhi.
