Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi is one of the most admired men in history. He dedicated his life for the liberation of India and accomplished it on August 15th 1947. Different from other famous liberators, Gandhi was famous for his acts of nonviolence and noncooperation. One example of one of his famous acts is the famous salt march. I believe that Gandhi was capable of doing this because of his strong faith in Hinduism. He was born as a Hindu and followed its teachings throughout his whole entire life. However, Gandhi wasn’t in accordance with all the traditions of Hinduism. As shown in the movie, he believed that every man had equal rights, which basically went against the Hindu caste system by treating the ‘untouchables’ as equal men.
One of Gandhi’s most famous quotes is “action expresses priorities”. Gandhi spent his whole life working to liberate India and bringing peace to his country. He showed unbelievable amount of selflessness and courage. He’s actions such as the salt march and the fast showed that he valued liberation of India more than his life. He lived out his Hindu faith and suppressed all his Earthly desires for the greater good.
