Mohandas Gandhi is best known for which form of protest?

Answer 1

He led South African asians in opposition to Apartheid. Returning to India he led the Indian national congress. His policy was one of non-violent non-cooperation. He organised hunger strikes and civil disobedience, and campaigned for social reform, including religious tolerance and an end to discrimination against the so-called untouchable caste. The movement that Gandhiji started was first called "passive resistance", but he did not like that name because he thought that it did not suggest the meaning of their movement .He advertised a prize for another suitable name. Then one day a letter came to him from his nephew Maganlal that it should be named "sadagraha" , he (gandhiji) modified it, and it becme"satyagraha".

he had used the principle of non violence that is protesting and demanding the rights without violating the peace and harmony..he spread the teachings of ahimsa ie, without killing or destoying anyone....

Answer 2

Mohandas Gandhi.

Gandhi led a nonviolent resistance movement in India, which was occupied by imperial Britain at the time. The Dandi March of 1930 is the quintessential event of this movement. During the march, Gandhi and nearly 100 of his followers marched to Dandi, one place where salt makers were being oppressed by the Empire. They were greeted by a crowd of 100,000 people, and thus began a long trend of civil disobedience. This movement is important in the history of nonviolent revolution because it was one of the first times that, in order to maintain its public image, the government adopted a noninterference policy with the protesters, refusing to meet their peaceful demonstration with massacre or violence. Although some violence did occur during the movement, noninterference set the stage for future demonstrations and revolutions.
