Gandhi


in 1930 Gandhi had his famous salt march in India where him and many of his followers fallowed him down the the ocean to make salt for themselves so they do not have to buy it from the British people in the country because they were making salt very expensive and were putting many tax's on it so no one could afford it. Gandhi held this march went down the to ocean and made piles of piles of salt and handed it out for free. in 1964 he got the Nobel Peace Price for all of his actions in India trying to free Indian soil from the English and re take India's culture for its own and free the Indian people from the English culture and the chains that were getting put on them. Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated on 30 January 1948, shot at point blank range by Nathuram Godse, an activist of the Hindu nationalist Hindu Mahasabha. Since 1934, there had been five preceding unsuccessful attempts to kill Gandhi.
