Mohandas Gandhi was had a very big impact on India gaining its independence. He was their leader to gaining their freedom. His methods were of non-violence and for civil disobedience. Alot of people disagreed with some decisions Gandhi made, and he was very rebellious. The way he did this was by having many sit ins and protests against the British rule and its ways.
He lead the "Salt March", where he walked about 240 miles with hundreds of people to make their own salt, and to boycott the British salt. He also lead a protest of not wearing or buying any British made clothes. This way the British economy would go down.
His philosophy of non-violence was to make the British look as bad as possible, and prove to them that what they are doing is wrong. His protests were successful because they dealt with weakening the British economy and disobeying unfair laws, and the British would look stupid to do anything bad. This way Gandhi was able to help India and his people gain independence.
I think that the Indian Revolution was actually all Gandhi because without Gandhi the Indians were actually lost and the Muslims and Hindus were constantly having rivalry, and they still do today.
