"A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act."
-Mahatma Ghandi
Throughout the world for countless ammounts of time, people have been opressed by totalitarian govornments and few have done it in a peaceful mannor. Ghandi Is one of those few.
In 1915, he organised protests by peasants, farmers, and urban labourers concerning excessive land-tax and discrimination. After assuming leadership of the Indian National Congress in 1921, Gandhi led nationwide campaigns to ease poverty, expand women's rights, build religious and ethnic amity, and increase economic self-reliance. Above all, he aimed to achieve the independence of India from foreign domination.
Ghandi spent several years in prison for him standing up for what he beleived in and protesting non voilently for everything, He was released from prison finally because he got malaria and the government didnt want him to die in jail and create political outrage.
Ultimately his fights created peace in India and finally gained their freedom.
