"There is no way for peace,because peace is the only way" Often,when we think about India the image of Gandhi appears immediately in our minds. That happens due to the global legacy he left after his death,even after several generations. He showed to the whole world that another way of achieving your objectives was possible,the way of peace. At his times,this method was something new and most of his enemies thought that he would never reach his goal,the freedom and independence of India. Finally,he thought everybody a lesson.
Funnily enough,he studied in England and,during his early youth,he acted like a Britsh gentleman,as you can se I'm the following image:
However, we he came back to India,he realised the conditions in wich his working-class countrymen were forced to work and he decided to fight for their rights. For that, he travelled to South Africa where,after months of non-violent demonstrations,he managed to abolish the right to explode Indian workers.
In 1915 he came back to India and,eventhough at the beginning his objective was not to achieve the independence for India,he changed his mind and started with his acts of civil disobedience. Although some Indians politicians thought that his method was highly inefficient,he managed to mobilize 10 millions Indians in a peaceful fight for independence.
After years of fight and peaceful revolution,some of them spent in jail and in hunger strike, India became independent,showing the world that another way of doing things was possible.
