Gandhi Interpretation

I think that he was able to gain the support of the people because he was doing what they all wished they had the confidence to do. He was being the change he wanted to see. And he had not only the passion, but he had the knowledge to make sure that he came out on top. He started off wearing a suite. But later he learns more of the clothing that the indian people wear so he could relate more to them. He also looks more like a preacher. And he got the support of the muslims and the lower class hindu's because he said that he doesn't want to just have the higher class hindu's to just reinstate there old policies. He wanted everyone to have freedom. Because the people's support he gained, he eventually got the attention of the government, and even the government wasn't all on the same page. By bringing fear into the government, they started to act which gave pride to the hindu and muslim people. And by using civil disobedience he showed that he wanted to put all his power into stopping the british. The Hindu's and muslims saw him taking a beating and felt bad and eventually joined his cause. By dressing in basically rags, he showed the people that they didn't need to have what the british have to offer. And he was able to give up his whole life and go to jail if it meant that it could rally the people for his cause and bring passion to his followers. The injustices made against the Hindu's and muslims just made the uprising stronger. And even some of the british saw the good in his cause. Even after the salt march, when the british put 90,000 to 100,000 were put into jail, they still did not use violence. Overall the one thing that Gandhi needed to gain support of the world. Because he embarrassed the british because they knew what they were doing was wrong and know the whole world new. The world will know put pressure on the the british to stop rule.
