Gandhi

B1. He went to live in South Africa to work for an Indian firm.

B2. He thought that the treatment of Indian people was awful, so he spent the next twenty years defending the rights of Indians in South Africa.

B3. He believed that non-violence resistance was the most effective form of protest.
B4. Mahatma means "Great Soul".
B5. He thought that Indians shouldn't fight for Britain in WWII because they lacked freedom at home.
B6. He was assassinated beacuse when India was split into two parts (Hindus and Muslims) he worked hard for peace between India and Pakistan. Hindu nationalists thought that he was doing too much for the Muslims, so a Hindu nationalist shot and killed him.
B7. I think he meant that if someone makes something to you, for example to hit you, you shouldn't hit him because if you do, you are going to act like he did and people will think that everyone has to do that (when that is actually what makes things worse). It influenced his method of protest because he never used violence.

Salt March

B12. As a result of the Salt March, Gandhi was arrested and spent 9 months in jail.
