In 1942 Mohandas Gandhi started which movement?
Non Co-operation Movement
One of the first series of non violent protests nationwide was the non cooperation movement started by Mahatma Gandhi. This movement officially started the Gandhian era in India. In this freedom struggle, the non cooperation movement was basically aimed at making the Indians aware of the fact that the British government can be opposed and if done actively, it will keep a check on them. Thus, educational institutions were boycotted, foreign goods were boycotted, and people let go off their nominated seats in government institutions. Though the movement failed, Indians awakened to the concept of going against the British.
Civil Disobedience Movement
Gandhi again took off with another non violent movement known as the civil disobedience movement. This movement was more active than the non cooperation movement and brought about a revolution of sorts. This movement aimed at bringing the British administration to a stop by withdrawing support from everything. There was agitation against land revenue, abolition of salt tax, cutting down military expenditure, levying duty on foreign cloth, etc. A very important movement was that of Salt Satyagraha where Gandhi undertook the Dandi march as a protest against the Salt tax.
Quit India Movement
The Quit India Movement was launched under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi in August 1942. The main aim for launching this movement was to bring the British to negotiate with the Indian leaders. It was a call for immediate independence of India and the slogan of "Do or Die" was adopted for the same. However the leaders were arrested soon after Gandhi's speech and were put in jail by British officials. Gandhi went on a fast for 21 days demanding the release of the leaders despite his failing health. The British had to secure the release of the leaders.
India Independence
After the Quit India Movement the freedom struggle got even more intense and passionate. Entire India was united together in the movement for freedom.

After much sacrifices and efforts, India gained its independence on the 15th August, 1947.

That scene, from Richard Attenborough's biopic film of Mahatma Gandhi, is semi-fictional. While Gandhi did encourage fellow Indians and Asians to burn their registration papers, he was never beaten by the police for that action as depicted in the film.
Artistically, however, Attenborough takes license with Gandhi's life at that point to depict the depth of Gandhi's commitment to his principles of non-violent resistance. The director has Gandhi continue burning the passes, demonstrating that he considered himself equal to his oppressors even while they continued their oppressive actions.
He is called that because 'Mahatma' means Great Soul. an honorific first applied to him by Rabindranath Tagore.

Who went on a hunger strike for women's suffrage?
Around the early 1900's, Amelia PANKHURST would chain herself to the Prime Minister's residence in Britain. She was initially carried off and her husband was to keep her in check. When she began to repeat this frequently she would be carried off to jail, particularly when she managed to chain herself to the P.M.'s carriage. This happened quite a lot but she was treated with a certain humerous indulgence which annoyed her. She then began hunger 'strikes' in jail, out of jail, all sorts of places. But she was probably not the first and certainly not the last.

The use of the toilet (and the sewage system it's connected to) have eliminated a huge source of infectious diseases in populated areas.

Towns an cities did not smell very nice. It took a long time to design working systems and facilities in the homes and public buildings. The porcelain version of the toilet is much easier to keep clean and sanitary than it's predecessors.
