Ghandi

Gandhi was able to fight for independence for India, because of his education in London. In a way, the British brought his revolt among themselves, since they were the ones who gave Gandhi the means to prove a point, with his education of British laws. In South Africa, Gandhi, made a stand against the unjust British policy of the pass, which restricted Indians, as well as the South Africans, in their own country. He inspired the people with thoughts that they should be equal to the British. Gandhi put nationalism in the people of India by dressing as a traditional Indian, not as the British do, or even wearing cloth that was owned by the East India Company. To bring more power to his cause he united high and low class Hindus, as well as Muslims. He knew that this was the only way, because they were too weak when they were fighting amongst themselves. Instead they became one group, and made a stand as a serious threat to British rule.
