Ghnadi used the teqniche of peaceful resistance and pacifism to drive the government and the people in the way he wanted. He was the leader of the Indian Congress Party, which believed that Hindus and Muslims should live in an independent India. India was being run by the British, who had control of thier finance, trade, law, and almost everything else. Gandhi's most famous protest was called the salt march. The purpose of the protest was to go against British taxes on salt. Gandhi along with the thousands that followed his lead, marched 240 miles to the sea to get the salt. This became a symbol to the people that it was time for India to get their Independence. This march also drew world support and put the eyes of the world on India and to giving to their cause. The reason all this worked however was because of Gandhi's perfect style of protesting. He was in and out of prison constantly, and when in prison would not complain or fight it but refuse to eat, once he started to starve to death, they let him out. This non violent, peaceful way of protesting showed people that he was fighting for a good cause and should be followed.
