Best Answer

He used "peaceful protest", and "non-cooperation methods", as well as organizing marches, civil disobedience, he even used fasting as a tool of protest.

Edited-

He helped to raise the standard of untouchables by calling them "Harijans" meaning "God's People". He wanted to spread the feeling of quality and respect among everyone. He had done the same thing in South Africa too. He made an Ashram where he lived with the untouchables and organized public dinner where people of all communities would come and eat together.

Mahatma Gandhi took a stand against the Indian Caste System's classifying certain people as the "untouchables", when he went on a fast to protest their segregation in the planned electoral system. His protest was successful, as a different electoral arrangement was agreed upon. He later would devote himself to breaking down this injustice.
