Mahatma Gandhi led peaceful protests primarily in India, advocating for civil rights and independence from British colonial rule. Notable movements included the Salt March in 1930, which challenged British salt laws, and the Quit India Movement in 1942, calling for an end to British rule. His philosophy of nonviolent resistance also inspired various civil rights movements globally.

For his peaceful protests
Violent protests involve the use of force or aggression, while nonviolent protests rely on peaceful means such as civil disobedience and peaceful demonstrations. Research suggests that nonviolent protests are often more effective in bringing about lasting social change, as they are more likely to garner public support, avoid backlash, and create a sense of unity among participants. In contrast, violent protests can lead to negative consequences such as increased repression and alienation from potential allies.
Ghandi's beliefs were that violence was never the way to solve anything and that approaching things in a peaceful manner was always best and so thats how he decided to do peaceful protests which involved no violence but still putting your point across.
Because it would be interesting to find out, for one. Changes have been brought about in recent history by peaceful protests (the Civil Rights movement in the US) as well as by violent protests (Ukraine). You could - among other things - try and find out which kind was used when, and to what effect; whether there were underlying factors that made protests work by being peaceful or violent; and what kind of changes were the subject of violent and peaceful protest respectively. In short, you might learn something yourself.
