This is portrayed early on in the movie when Gandhi is thrown out of a train for sitting in first class despite paying for a first class ticket. ]]> 2021-03-11 15:20:55 UTC https://padlet.com/steven1735/32dg3vc2uxeiqxmr/wish/1298513344 steven1735 https://padlet.com/steven1735/32dg3vc2uxeiqxmr/wish/1318112325 In the Film "Gandhi," the main ideas are the road to social justice and independence in India by promoting civil liberties, ending discrimination for racial, sexual, or religious reasons by peaceful means. The politics of the British Empire and the Local Indian officials focused on the oppression of India's people and was the cause of all issues in India. Instead, Gandhi promoted a new form of politics based on spiritual wealth and sacrifice, as well as a connection to people's true needs, regardless of their wealth, religion, or gender. ]]> 2021-03-16 22:26:06 UTC https://padlet.com/steven1735/32dg3vc2uxeiqxmr/wish/1318112325 steven1735 https://padlet.com/steven1735/32dg3vc2uxeiqxmr/wish/1322906411 Later in the film, the Amritsar massacre, one of the worst massacres in Indian history, is portrayed. Acting brigadier general, Reginald Dyer, ordered his troops in the British Indian army to open fire on a group of peaceful unarmed Indian protesters, including men, women, and children. The casualties are still disputed to this day, but it is estimated that over 1500 people were killed and 3-4 times that number were injured.    ]]> 2021-03-17 21:56:47 UTC https://padlet.com/steven1735/32dg3vc2uxeiqxmr/wish/1322906411 https://padlet.com/steven1735/32dg3vc2uxeiqxmr/wish/1323634951 Another key theme of this film is non-violence. The common misconception that many people have about violence is that it takes courage and fearlessness to be violent. However, Gandhi challenged this misconception by stating that non-violence can work for justice and can bring about change without the use of violence. Gandhi believes that using soul force or non-violent practices will result in the best outcome when it comes to law and wanting a change. Although radicals for change in this era of time do not think rationally enough to acknowledge this, the justice they seek would receive better results had they thought in such way. ]]> 2021-03-18 03:10:37 UTC https://padlet.com/steven1735/32dg3vc2uxeiqxmr/wish/1323634951 https://padlet.com/steven1735/32dg3vc2uxeiqxmr/wish/1323748908

a method of action based upon the principles of courage, non-violence, and truth.

Attachment to the people.

His sincere solidarity with the poor of India whom he represented, and to show how imperialism had impoverished his country.

Rather, clothing was an essential part of his inner quest for truth. ]]> 2021-03-18 05:00:12 UTC https://padlet.com/steven1735/32dg3vc2uxeiqxmr/wish/1323852123 https://padlet.com/steven1735/32dg3vc2uxeiqxmr/wish/1324093058

In this scene, Gandhi is in South Africa where he advocates for the rights of the Indian minority. 

He protests against an existing unjust law. 

He starts burning the passes, which the Indians have to carry all along.

He gets to know the brutality of the police officers, but that does not bar him from going on to burn the passes.

As illustrated in the film, Gandhi fasted on occasion. He had done this as his personal form of protest. 

He wanted to point out that the independence of India can only be reached if there is no violence.

He preached that resistance must be passive. 

By doing so, he was able to achieve his goal, and people stopped fighting and using violence.

Gandhi went with many other people to the sea for extracting salt. 

He claimed that it was the salt of the Indian people and that the British had no right to extract it and sell to the Indians for money.

As a result, the Indians now extract salt from the sea.

His deep concern for those in poverty in India gave him the passion to fight against Britain. Gandhi's belief in truth and non-violence brought him many followers who understandably helped bring about a successful campaign that eventually did free Indian's from British ruling and all those in poverty and unjust situations were given the treatment they deserved. Gandhi's pursue for social justice was a step into his goal to self-realization and spirituality. ]]> 2021-03-18 07:05:18 UTC https://padlet.com/steven1735/32dg3vc2uxeiqxmr/wish/1324151140 https://padlet.com/steven1735/32dg3vc2uxeiqxmr/wish/1324249048 2021-03-18 07:39:12 UTC https://padlet.com/steven1735/32dg3vc2uxeiqxmr/wish/1324249048 https://padlet.com/steven1735/32dg3vc2uxeiqxmr/wish/1324268805 India's Political and Spiritual Leader]]> 2021-03-18 07:45:48 UTC https://padlet.com/steven1735/32dg3vc2uxeiqxmr/wish/1324268805 steven1735 https://padlet.com/steven1735/32dg3vc2uxeiqxmr/wish/1325833402

Gandhi was invited back to India because he had established himself as a leader, theorist and community organizer. 

Gandhi then became a member of the Indian National Congress, where he continued to fight for social justice and civil liberties throughout the country.

In 1920, Gandhi is elected as the leader of the Indian National Congress, and he continues to press for India’s independence.    

On August 15th, 1947, India finally gained independence from the British empire after many conflicts and political talks/issues (Gandhi never did fully agree to the terms that were made).

While beginning to start his journey into Pakistan, Gandhi was fatally shot by a gunman, ending the reign of Gandhi's spiritual influence. 

This act was carried out due to many ambiguous definitions of social injustice and its' meaning for specific people. There were many opposing views to Gandhi's rules and intentions, including the acceptance of all people and their religions, faiths, and creeds. 

Leading up to the assassination, mass protests, killings, and riots had broken out in many places which indirectly reversed all of Gandhi's efforts. These events had caused lasting impacts for each and every person.
