    He had demanded the release of the British rule over India. It was because of the discrepancies between India and the British that Gandhi decided to started the "Quit India Movement." It was through this that many people stood up to stop colonialism on India. Mahatma worked hard to enhance the status of the lower class people in society. He was a leader in trying for political independence(Hartman). His first campaign was called the satyagraha campaign. This campaign was built on the foundation of non-violent protest. The goal of this movement was to end a law requiring Indians living in Transvaal to get fingerprints. Their goal was met and Gandhi continued to push other protests and organizing resistances to his cause. After all of his works done in South Africa, he took what he had learned to India. There he continued to express his feeling toward the discrimination of his people. It wasn't too soon until his fight for Indian Independence had spread and people saw him as a hero(Mohandas). As you can see Gandhi worked as a very successful political leader doing anything in his power to do what was right. Gandhi, although claiming he was only an average man, had seemed to be more than that doing things people of little faith had doubted could be done. Gandhi makes these claims in his quote saying, "I claim to be no more than an average man with less than average abilities. I…

    Spending twenty years of his life defending the rights of immigrants in South Africa, Gandhi was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize but never received it. In 1914 he returned to India and became the leader of the Indian National Congress (N.p. Mohandas.)

Late in life, the same love for truth and his stubborn fondness for it, he led millions of Indians in a fight for independence. It was a fight with no weapons because Gandhi’s truth was stronger than swords. Many other civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. used the non-violent protest as a model for their own life…
