Mr. Mohandas "Mahatma" Karamchand Gandhi underwent a massive hunger strike, that caused an uproar among the Indian people, and untimately led to the expulsion of the British. Gandhi was very weak, and would have died, had there not been a massive uproar and chaos and riots by the Indians toward the British. He is considered a hero and god as a human, in most people's eyes. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

∙ 11y agoGandhi was involved in several publicized fasts as a method of private meditation and as a method of influencing public opinion. His frail appearance and steadfast determination gained him public sympathy, persuading authorities to alter their policies.
On the 16th of September 1932, Gandhi began a hunger strike to protest the British government's decision to separate India's electoral system by caste (hereditary classes of Hindu society distinguished by relative degrees of ritual purity or pollution).
In 1943, Gandhi began a hunger strike while imprisoned for promoting the Quit India movement. Under wartime regulations, the British withheld much of the news regarding his physical condition.
On the 12th of January 1948, Gandhi undertook his last successful fast in New Delhi to persuade Hindus and Muslims in that city to work toward peace. On 30th of January, less than two weeks after breaking that fast, he was assassinated by a Hindu extremist on his way to an evening prayer meeting.
