Mohandas Gandhi In this lesson, students will be able to define the following terms: Gandhi’s Policy of Nonviolence Civil Disobedience The Salt March The Boycott of British Cloth The Creation of Pakistan Cy Ranch

India was the first major country to achieve independence in the post-war period. Indians had long been resisting British rule. Cy Ranch

unique ability to appeal to ordinary citizens and the educated elite, Mohandas Gandhi was the leader of India’s independence movement. He was an Indian lawyer who had been educated in England. Having the unique ability to appeal to ordinary citizens and the educated elite, he united many Indians. Cy Ranch

Gandhi believed that British imperialism was wrong and that Indians should refuse to cooperate with the British imperialists. However, he also believed that violence was wrong. He encouraged his followers to engage in nonviolent protests. Cy Ranch

Gandhi encouraged a policy of nonviolent noncooperation. By refusing to obey the unjust laws of the imperialists and refusing to buy British products, Indians could change the policies of imperialists. As Gandhi said, “Real noncooperation is noncooperation with evil and not the evildoer.” Cy Ranch

Gandhi believed that the use of violence was always wrong. He believed that the only way to change a wrongdoer was to show the wrongdoer the error of his ways. As Gandhi said, “An eye for an eye and the whole world is blind.” Cy Ranch

economy not the British Gandhi encouraged Indians to boycott or refuse to buy British- made cotton goods or cloth. He encouraged Indians to make their own homespun cloth. He wanted Indians to support the Indian economy not the British economy. Cy Ranch

willingness to face the consequences is called Civil Disobedience. Gandhi also urged Indians to disobey unjust British laws. The refusal to obey unjust laws and the willingness to face the consequences is called Civil Disobedience. The making of illegal salt was an example of Civil Disobedience. Cy Ranch

Of course, it is difficult to govern a colony where the colonial subjects refuse to obey the laws.

The British taxed salt production in India. In 1930, Gandhi led the Salt March to protest the British salt tax. Indians illegally made salt. They refused to obey the law. Cy Ranch

During the Salt March, Gandhi and his followers marched to the sea.

They marched to the sea to make salt. It was against the law to make salt.

Thousands of Indians were imprisoned.

Slowly, the British began to realize that it was time to leave India.

Gandhi’s vision for an independent India included justice for all. He wanted to improve the lives of untouchables. He wanted to raise the standard of living. He wanted all Indians to live together in harmony. Cy Ranch

The British delayed granting independence because of the threat of violence between India’s Hindu and Muslim populations. When independence was finally granted, India was partitioned or divided into two separate nations: India became a Hindu nation, while Pakistan became a home for Muslims. Cy Ranch

Because there were large Muslim populations in both the east and west of British India, Pakistan became a divided nation-separated by over a thousand miles. Cy Ranch

India gained its independence in 1947 but the massive exchange of population that took place led to violence and death. Gandhi’s vision of a peaceful, free India was not fully realized. Cy Ranch

Jawaharlal Nehru became the first prime minister of an independent India.

Nehru pursued a policy of nonalignment or neutrality during the Cold War.

Questions for Reflection: Who was Mohandas K. Gandhi and what did he believe? What is nonviolent noncooperation? How did the boycott of British cloth hurt British imperialists? What is civil disobedience and provide an example of civil disobedience? What happened to India upon achieving independence? Cy Ranch
