How did Gandhi rise to power ?

By joining the common people! Weaving his own white cloth instead of buying British imported clothing and material. Cooking and doing menial jobs himself! Treating his wife with reverence. He believed ferently that they much break the British hold on their country! He started his miles by foot with no food, to the sea! His goal was to demonstrate that the salt that the British TAXED Indians, was FREE to all!! As he walked that distance, people began to follow him until hundreds/thousands were with him!!! He reached the sea and scooped up a handful of sea salt. It was the first non-violent peaceful revolution! The British beat the people with clubs, but their faith in Ghandi persisted and the British eventually give India their Independence in 1948???
