Gandhi got India's independence by boycotting, having the people make their own clothing instead of buying British clothing(this hurt the British economy), led them on the Salt March to illegally get their own salt from the ocean, he encouraged nonviolence, disobedience, and had his people, instead of hitting back, let the British soldiers beat them. He fasted if the two religious groups fought eachother.
There's an old movie about him. It's good, and you should watch it!! :)

he was such a gr8-minded person...
"Whenever I see an erring man, I say to myself I have also erred; when I see a lustful man I say to myself, so was I once; and in this way I feel kinship with everyone in the world and feel that I cannot be happy without the humblest of us being happy."
