By the age of 13 he was wed to a girl named Kasturba Makanji through arranged marriage. He began stealing and eating meat to rebel, then his Father died. After the death of his father, the death of his first child and the birth of four more children, Gandhi, at the age of 18, travelled to London to pursue law. In the 3 years he spent there, he learned about other religions. He returned to India in 1891 but struggled to find work so in 1893 he travelled to Durban, South Africa. He was greatly discriminated against there. Then Gandhi made many trips to different places and ended up fighting for Indian Liberation before being killed by a fanatic in 1948. ]]> 2017-06-05 21:06:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sw47/vx30kr3c1j9j/wish/175281843 sw47 https://padlet.com/sw47/vx30kr3c1j9j/wish/175282885 2017-06-05 21:16:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sw47/vx30kr3c1j9j/wish/175282885 sw47 https://padlet.com/sw47/vx30kr3c1j9j/wish/175282920 2017-06-05 21:16:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sw47/vx30kr3c1j9j/wish/175282920 sw47 https://padlet.com/sw47/vx30kr3c1j9j/wish/175283542 2017-06-05 21:21:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sw47/vx30kr3c1j9j/wish/175283542 sw47 https://padlet.com/sw47/vx30kr3c1j9j/wish/175330741 Mahatma Gandhi's family was a Hindu family so he was a Hindu too. But he learnt a lot about many other religions and this helped him form his own opinion on philosophy, religion and the right way to live. Because he had many Christian and Muslim friends, Gandhi was immersed in many different religions and he also learned a lot about the Jain religion which focussed on being nonviolent.

He strongly believed in Ahimsa which is nonviolence, the value of peace and love. Also, he believed that all religions were true and that every religion should be respected.

He led a famous walk to the sea to produce salt by the sea because the British were producing salt in India and Gandhi thought this was wrong.

Gandhi's peaceful civil disobedience campaign led to India winning independence from Britain in 1947.

Gandhi tried to stop Muslim and Hindu conflict which eventually led to his death.]]> 2017-06-13 23:30:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sw47/vx30kr3c1j9j/wish/176325238 sw47 https://padlet.com/sw47/vx30kr3c1j9j/wish/176326065 2017-06-13 23:44:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sw47/vx30kr3c1j9j/wish/176326065 sw47 https://padlet.com/sw47/vx30kr3c1j9j/wish/176791031 2017-06-19 00:44:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sw47/vx30kr3c1j9j/wish/176791031 sw47 https://padlet.com/sw47/vx30kr3c1j9j/wish/176791103 Overall, all of Gandhi's actions made a very good impact on the people of India. He fought for their rights, equality and he believed they were all worthy of being fair people that lived in harmony. All of this made a huge, great impact on the people of India because it gave them hope and showed them an equal life was possible.]]> 2017-06-19 00:45:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sw47/vx30kr3c1j9j/wish/176791103
