Film Lesson - "Gandhi"

There were many ways that Gandhi helped India gain their independence from the British. Most of them had to do with all the acts of defiance that he led against the British like the salt march or the boycotts against British goods. And the most important part of these acts of defiance was that they did not involve any violence. This ensured that the world saw the British as the bad guys and not the Indians because the only people using violence was them. This method was called civil disobedience and what it did was that it allowed the Indians to disobey the british and not buy their products or follow the laws the British made and they took the punishment because they knew that eventually the british would have to change their laws because if not then the country would fall apart.
Extra Credit: I think India's independence would have come anyways without Gandhi considering that WWII was happening at the time and if the British would not give India their freedom then the U.S. and the rest of the Peace Union that was mas made at the end of the war would demand it.
