    It’s clear that Gandhi’s campaigns of non-cooperation and attending political meetings with high ranked British officials during the early 1930s, were hugely significant as they mounted pressure on the Raj, leaving the British with no other alternative than to make concessions towards the nationalists. However, Purna Swaraj wasn’t achieved by Gandhi’s campaigns in the 1930s, due to the limitations of his methods as he was unable to cooperate and negotiate with the British. Conversely, demands for nationalism increased across India and the British began to lose any moral authority they had over the Indians.…

    In the early 1930’s, Gandhi’s movement for India's independence took a new form when he introduced the civil disobedience movement. During the 1920’s when Gandhi had first introduced a sense of nationalism among his fellow Indians, he did so with great passion yet there was still much to be done to gain respect from the British. His campaign for Swaraj took a new form when his demands were ignored, and he introduced the Civil Disobedience movement in the early 1930’s.…

    Summary of Ghandi the Movie

    • 26 Pages

    Gandhi was a small Indian man that faced the British Empire's policies of injustice, discrimination, and colonial control without using a single punch or bullet, or in any way using violence as a weapon. The fact that he defeated the British Empire by winning Indian Independence is considered as testimony that Gandhi should be given the status of being remembered as a ‘great man’ in history. Gandhi began his work against the injustices of the British Empire when he was still a young man in South Africa. After returning to India, Gandhi had convinced himself that he must get in touch with the common people and convince them to follow him in nonviolent and non-cooperative protest against British Rule. Through marches, demonstrations, and protests, Gandhi was able to bring the attention of the world to India by displaying the atrocities of the British Empire and not reacting with violence. Although Indian Independence was Gandhi's main goal, he had a hard time accepting the idea that Hindus and Muslims did not want to live together even after India had gained independence. The road in achieving India’s Independence was a long one for Gandhi; therefore, to fully understand his struggle, it is necessary to start at the beginning…

    After 200 years of being control by an island thousands of mile away, it was time to break free. Circa 1500, England and other European countries began to colonize India. It is believed that the Independence Movement there began in the 1850’s, although India didn’t become a fully self-governing country until the 1940’s. This movement is an example of peaceful revolution, and in large part was led by activist Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi. Gandhi, born in 1869, led some the movement and was assassinated in 1948. India fought for many years for independence, but was able to win with the help of Gandhi, who influenced not only his country, but many others including other civil leaders as well.…

Another interesting fact about Gandhi is that he was married at age thirteen, as it was arranged and quite common in India.
