Independence for India

I believe that Mohandas Gandhi was able to achieve independence because he used peaceful protests rather than violent protests where they would try to fight against the British. He used peaceful protests by just forming large groups and sending messages to the British and even if the British would fight he would fight back. For example when he burned the passes and as beaten but didn't fight back. Also he is very well educated and knows the law so he knows his rights and he knows that the way the British teach the Indians isn't right. Also he was able to get the Indian people behind him. He spoke to them and told them that they need to come together regardless of religion or caste system. People follow even if they don't agree with his religion because they know what he is doing will benefit all people in India, not just is religion.
