Gandhi helped India's struggle for independence from Britain through a campaign based on nonviolence and civil disobedience. "Nonviolence and truth are inseparable and presupposes one another. There is no god higher than truth." Some things Gandhi did was he encourage people to not be violence, also when some Indians hurt police man he went on a strike by fasting for a long time he was dehydrated and sick but until people didn't stop violence he's strike wasn't over. Gandhi also wasn't wearing any British clothes and he encourage people to burn it and not wear it. He went to jail for burning a past that Indians need to carry around, he was arrested for trying too over throw the government, and many more, but never for being violent.
his philosophy of non-violence was that violence leads to more violence so Indians should be strong and not hit but with violence but with peace. he didn't believe in the saying of an" eye for an eye". he though that eye for an eye was gonna let the whole world be blind.
i think India's Independence was all about Gandhi because he didn't give up he was arrest and abused many times but he didn't give up. He encourage the Indians people to not put their foot down to not give up of being colonize and having no right, or being govern by the British. i think if he didn't tell the people to fight for their right they would just keep leaving the same way.
about the time of Indian Independence 1947 the cold war going on with middle east and south Asia . this might had an influenced on India independence.
What was happening in Great Britain about the time of Indian Independence (1947) that may have influenced events?
