Film Lesson "Gandhi

Gandhi was a great historical figure and made one of the biggest contributions to the world. He gave independence to India without having to use physical violence. Gandhi made several movements that the british would hate but can only win by using injustice. Gandhi started thinking that he can easily get Indian troops to fight the English but as he said "An Eye for an Eye only leaves the whole world blind". It means if the indians fight back it would only leed to more chaos and destruction. Gandhi used another technique that was very successful and actually legal; he didnt fight back. He would rebel against the british orders and when the british would arrest hurt or kill them he would just show resistance. There was a point where the british realized they were losing money, they started to look bad and were doing illegal things, at this point, the british gave up and india had won its independence.India lived happily but one day a seek killed Gandhi. Ever since Gandhi has been greatly honored and recognized all over the world.
