Broke the British hold over India by leading a major march--I think 260 miles to the sea to gather their own salt!! Hitherto, taxed by the British! Lead the overthrow of the British by non-violent civil disobedience. Raised the level of consciousness of India's poor and native strength--by discarding British clothing and paraphernalia. More...but I can't think of it right now--and don't have time to Google! An Incredible MAN!
