Oh, dude, Gandhi fasted for like 17 days once, but he also did shorter fasts throughout his life. So, it's not like he just did one long hunger strike and called it a day. The guy was all about the fasting, like a spiritual cleanse or something.
A fast is when a person does not eat or drink for long periods of time (most of the time, for days, such as Gandhi) for a religious practice or to protest against something.
24 days
Mohandas Gandhi fasted 5 times in his entire life. It was in order to give India Independence.
1932 - In September, while still in jail, Gandhi begins a "fast unto death" to improve the status of the Untouchable caste. The fast ends after six days when the British Government accepts a settlement agreement between the Untouchables and higher caste Indians.1933 - In April Gandhi fasts for 21 days to again focus attention on the plight of the Untouchables. He is released from jail during this fast but rearrested with his wife and 30 followers on 31 July after commencing a new "individual" civil disobedience campaign and sentenced to a year in jail.
