- Gandhi was a great leader in Indian history. Gandhi tried and succeeded to win India's Independance from Great Britain. Some of the ways that gandhi did this was by stopping to buy British clothes which gave Great Britain a great loss. Next what he did was, he and his people walked 240 miles to the sea cost to make their own salt, this was called the salt march. This means another loss for the British because now the Indians would not buy salt from them. These are examples of civil disobedience, which means going against law without any violence.
Extra Credit: I think that India's Independance came from both Gandhi and his people. The people could not do it without his ideas, and Gandhi cannot do it without the people because it is not a one man job. During this period of time Great Britain was experiencing freat losses and economic downfall.
