Can the freedom to choose be a drawback?
Freedom to choose has several drawbacks:-
1. The person has to think before deciding, and thinking takes effort. Not everyone likes 'effort', especially in the 'thinking' department!
2. Having chosen, the chooser is responsible for the consequences of making that choice. Many people don't like to take responsibility for their actions. If things go wrong, they only have themselves to blame, but if they are just following orders, or have no alternatives, they feel they can't be blamed for anything bad that might happen as a result of doing what they did.
3. It takes time to choose. Shopping in a supermarket would certainly be a lot quicker if there was only one typeof everything they have on offer. Freedom to choose makes shopping a major undertaking!
4. When our minds should be focusing on major matters that need urgent solutions, our minds are being bombarded by advertising blurb which presents an ever-increasing range of things to choose from.
If we weren't distracted by all the choices we seem to have, we could be more productive and effective in those matters which vitally need our attention. But the distraction of 'choice' is so powerful that we seem to have forgotten what it is we have been distracted from!
5. Choice means waste. Manufacturers continue to produce 'ranges' of similar products in the hope of securing greater market share. With 'choice' many product lines will not be the 'flavor of the month', and all that production effort will go to waste. When people have choice it is difficult, nay, impossible to predict what they will buy. And unwanted products have to be scrapped. What a waste!
6. Freedom to choose means we have bigger wardrobes. (to house a selection of clothes from which we can choose each day) Bigger wardrobes mean bigger houses. Bigger houses mean more financial burdens. More financial burdens mean stress. Oh for the simple life! It would make getting up and going out so much easier!

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.

Why did Gandhi choose to break the salt law?
Let's Try..
Mahatma Gandhi with other nationalists reasoned that it was sinful to tax salt since it is such an essential item of our food. In 1930, Gandhiji declared that he would lead a march to break the salt law. According to this law, the state had a monopoly on the manufacture and sale of salt. He led a march, to the coastal town of Dandi, where he broke the salt law by gathering natural salt found on the seashore, and boiling sea water to produce salt.
That's it..its from the ncert textbook :)

How did Gandhi become a leader?
Gandhi studied law in London and returned to India in 1891 to practice. In 1893 he accepted a one year contract to do legal work in South Africa. At the time South Africa was controlled by the British. When he attempted to claim his rights as a British subject he was abused, and soon saw that all Indians suffered similar treatment. Gandhi stayed in South Africa for 21 years working to secure rights for Indian people. He developed a method of direct social action based upon the principles courage, nonviolence and truth called Satyagraha. He believed that the way people behave is more important than what they achieve. Satyagraha promoted nonviolence and civil disobedience as the most appropriate methods for obtaining political and social goals.
In 1915 Gandhi returned to India. Within 15 years he became the leader of the Indian nationalist movement. Using the tenets of Satyagraha he lead the campaign for Indian independence from Britain. Gandhi was arrested many times by the British for his activities in South Africa and India. He believed it was honorable to go to jail for a just cause. Altogether he spent seven years in prison for his political activities. More than once Gandhi used fasting to impress upon others the need to be nonviolent.
India was granted independence in 1947, and partitioned into India and Pakistan. Rioting between Hindus and Muslims followed. Gandhi had been an advocate for a united India where Hindus and Muslims lived together in peace. On January 13, 1948, at the age of 78, he began a fast with the purpose of stopping the bloodshed. After 5 days the opposing leaders pledged to stop the fighting and Gandhi broke his fast. Twelve days later he was assassinated by a Hindu fanatic who opposed his program of tolerance for all creeds and religion.
