Gandhi and Non-violence
Decisions are made every day. ... One of these decisions is Mohandas Gandhi’s decision to be non-violent. Mohandas (Muhatma) Gandhi is one of the most influential people of our time. From the Great Salt March of 1930 to his hunger strikes, Gandhi was a peaceful revolutionary. ... “Instead of messy, physical riots, Gandhi taught of the value of peaceful protests, such as fasting, boycotting, and marching”(Sturtevant 1). Gandhi dedicated his life to freeing India from British rule using his non-violent method. Gandhi was also very committed to improving the lives of his Indian countrymen. Gandhi was a wonderful example for the rest of the world, showing “how successful non-violence and rebellion can be”(Schmidt 2). Gandhi’s decision to become and remain non-violent was good.
Gandhi’s non-violent ethics helped India. ... Gandhi was very committed to “eradicating the unjust social and economic aspects of the caste system”(Microsoft Corporation 4). ... However, “the real significance of the Indian freedom movement in Gandhi’s eyes was that it waged non-violently”(Nanda 1). Through Gandhi’s dedication, India was finally free of the British rule it had long served under.
