Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi also known as Mahatma Gandhi, has evolved a lot throughout his life. First, he adopted the « European Style » when he was studying law in Great Britain .It means that he wore a top hat, as well as tuxedos.

Salt was available in India and easy to collect by the people without paying anything. Furthermore, He thought the nation should be ruled by itself and not by another country or Empire. Even though he was opposed to british Government, he never became violent. Moreover, Nonviolence or « ahimsa » was one of his major principle.
During his demonstrations, he said to the crowds to stay calm and not to turn violent towards the soldiers. Nevertheless, it didn’t stop some Indians to attack Bristish soldiers which led to Indian Deaths.

This type of actions is called : « Social Disobedience ».
Gandhi also promoted self-sufficiency which was a maneer to show the British their own economic
