But to him, in order to win their independence, was all about gaining it with non-violent actions. He was one of the spiritual and political leaders of India. He was a very kind-hearted man. Though in this kind of situations, many people would take violent actions, but Gandhi didn't he believed in that but peace and taking non-violent actions.

Basically this whole Indian Independence movement started because India was controlled by the British, since they were part of the British Colonies. They were okay with it first, but things changed and the Indian people didn't like their ways and the way things were. They were also treated terrible, and got taxed more than they should be. Like any other countries, they wanted to be a free country.

The actions he took was very light and wise. He took his protesting to the next level, by not fighting back if the British Officers or officers who hurt them. Though, there was this one time when they had a massacre and killed almost 1400 people. Another event that they protested was the Salt March. They didn't want to pay any taxes for the salt. The Indians refused to pay, so they instead marched peacefully. After trying for many years of doing things peacefully without any violence, and it finally worked.
