Then he did a protest and was hurt while burning legal documents that Indians had to have while in South Africa. He also did a 250 mile walk protesting against the salt act and then he picked up salt from the sea illegally and said this is all it is. He got arrested in both cases. After a while, all of India was doing all he did. He fasted 21 days and so did India. He made a national day of prayer and so did India. In the end, the English were forced to leave India because no one wanted them there.
I think your question was "How Hindu lives?" meaning what a typical Hindu does and practices religiously and spirituously? What are his/her mode of conduct, thoughts, beliefs? Answer to those are:
1. All men are Hindu by birth (you need to convert to Christianity or Muslim; but you never need to or can get converted to a Hindu)
2. Hinduism in core is a philosophy; not a religion. That means it not only talks about God and how to please It, but covers what the righteous lifestyle should be, to knowledge of the world or universe, science, mathematics, geography, to medicine.
3. It believes in single God; but allows individual selection of representative idol of your preference that leads to general misunderstanding that Hindus have thousand of gods/goddesses. You are free to question so-called Hindu practices, you may not visit temples or worship at all - but you still remain as Hindu, as no one can transform you as a Hindu nor ban from it. You can eat anything - veg, non-veg; live lifestyle in any variation - clown to king if you maintain your Karma right.
4. Hindu believes cycle of rebirths. Individual soul created out of Supreme Soul goes through this cycle of births (could be in any living form - animal, insect, human, plant etc.). One's ultimate goal is to meet back the Supreme Soul by improving spiritual levels through continued good Karma in one's life. Nirvana happens when one doesn't take rebirth anymore as its soul joined back with the Supreme Soul.
5. Hindu believes in 4 phases of one's life - Brahmacharya (Student phase), Grihatha (Marital phase), Vanprastha (Reirement phase) and Sanyas (Dedicated to God). All Karma must be in accordance to these phases of a life.
6. Being world's oldest living religion that allowed freedom within itself, it appears that Hinduism has many rituals and practices that must be followed to remain as a pure Hindu. Fortunately, that's not true, as being a Hindu you are free to adopt what you feel righteous to you and your society.
7. In a simple terms, your good Karma (the deeds) will lead you to Supreme Soul - so do good to you and to all, perform all duties based on phases of life you're in. You may accelerate this process if you follow the path of Dharma (the truth) that a saintly person does. Seek the knowledge about the universe and you who is also part of it - to get the God.

Why did Gandhi tell the british government to leave india?
It has been not quite a century since Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was assassinated in January 1948 at the age of 78 in New Delhi, India. The bevy of hagiographies written about him is now being replaced with truth-telling biographies about the Gandhi nobody knew.
The most recent one is titled Great Soul: Mahatma Gandhi and His Struggle with India by Joseph Lelyveld.
And according to Lelyvard, Gandhi the pacifist was a wife-beater, denied sex to his wife for decades, was purported to be a "celibate" living life as an ascetic but actually was a pedophile who ritualized sleeping naked with underage girls in order to test "the ferocity of his sexual desires," and at one point left his wife for a male lover.
While one would think, at first glance, reading Lelyveld's shocking revelations about Gandhi, it's all tabloid fodder for a rapacious audience that diets on sordid tales, Lelyveld, former editor of the New York Times, and a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author, pays meticulous attention to details.
Between 1908 and 1910, Gandhi left his wife to be with wealthy German-Jewish bodybuilder and architect Hermann Kallenbach. But the only evidence Lelyveld gives the reader, suggesting the bonding of the two men was at least homoerotic if not homosexual, is a salacious one-liner where Gandhi allegedly told Kallenback, "How completely you have taken possession of my body. This is slavery with a vengeance." According to Gandhi's own wife, Gandhi engaged in heterosexual intercourse, but it repulsed him so much it actually made him physically ill, and he vowed never to attempt it again.
