Ghandi

One scene from the movie was that Gandhi decided to starve himself because there was to much violence going on so he said when the violence stops then he'll stop starving himself. Gandhi is all about peaceful things. Another scene from the movie is when Gandhi and some of the people burned the passes before they got beaten up by the British. Civil disobedience is when you refuse to obey the laws and passive resistance is a resistance of a non-violent method to a government. Gandhi proposed a non-violent march protesting the British Salt Tax, continuing Gandhi's pleas for civil disobedience. The Salt Tax essentially made it illegal to sell or produce salt. it allowed a complete British Monopoly. the Gandhi decided to march to the coast. he reached the coast on April 5, 1930. the Slat March started a series of protest that closed many British shops.
