Changes

'''Mohandas K. Gandhi,''' also known by the honorific title ''Mahatma Gandhi,'' was a great leader who obtained India's independence from Britain.  He urged peaceful civil disobedience to the British, calling on Indians to refuse to pay taxes to Britain and refuse to attend British schools.  He also called for a boycott of British manufactures, especially for the cloths that Indian weavers are so famous for.  The Indians heeded Gandhi’s leadership and stopped buying British cloth.  Gandhi also called for the Indian National Congress to change from an elite or wealthy group into more of a people’s voice that could advocate independence.  Gandhi drew upon Christian concepts as well as his native Hinduism.  His education included studying law at the University College London, though Gandhi makes little mention of that in his autobiography and details are unclear.

One of Gandhi’s acts of protest was to lead the Salt March in 1930 for 240 miles to the sea, so that Indians could obtain salt from evaporated salt water rather than buy it from (and pay taxes to) Britain.  A law required Indians to buy salt from the British government, but Gandhi’s march peacefully disobeyed that law and created much publicity.  Gandhi and many of his supporters were eventually arrested for some of their protests.
