After living for two decades in South Africa, where he fought for civil rights of Indians residing. Gandhi returned to his native country in 1915 and started working on is countries independence. Gandhi declared confrontation to the British salt policies to be the unifying theme fir his new campaign of “satyagraha.” Unfortunately, it got worse, Indians were forced to pay irrational British taxes, and also give away their property. In a situation like this in today’s society the first thing we would use is violence, and fight back. Remarkably, through a revolutionary concept of nonviolence, Gandhi led the Indians and obtained freedom from the British. A big reason how Gandhi got freedom for India was The Salt March, which took place form March 12, 1930. The Salt March was largely a symbolic act, but it helped inspire the people to resist British rule. Gandhi and his men set out on there religious retreat, Gandhi and several of his men went on a trail that took over 240 miles to the costal town of Dandi. Furthermore, Gandhi and his supporters were to disobey the British policy by making salt from seawater. Along the way Gandhi addressed large crowds, and with each passing day an increasing number of people joined the salt satyagraha, or the “truth force.” Gandhi increasingly demanded “swaraj”, or self rule. Swaraj basically meant Indian independence form British rule. Finally after decades of fighting for their independence on August 15, 1947, Gandhis hard work paid off and India finally got their independence. However, all good things have to come to an end at some
