Mahatma Gandhi Non-Violence Resistance Against Totalitarianism

Gandhi encouraged Indians to boycott British goods and buy Indian goods instead. This helped to revitalise local economies in India and it also hit home at the British by undermining their economy in the country. Gandhi preached passive resistance, believing that acts of violence against the British only provoked a negative reaction whereas passive resistance provoked the British into doing something which invariably pushed more people into supporting the Indian National Congress movement. 
Gandhi did some amazing things In 1930 Gandhi proclaims a new campaign of civil disobedience and calls upon the Indian population to refuse to pay taxes, particularly the tax on salt. The campaign was 400 km march to the sea between 12 March and 6 April. Thousands followed Gandhi to this destination. When they arrive they illegally make salt by evaporating seawater. “Let the government then, to carry on its rules, use guns against us, send us to prison, hang us,” Gandhi says during the march. ”

Gandhi was trying to show the people and the government that violence isn't the answer and you can get a lot more said and done with peace and equality. It takes one person like Gandhi to start a revolution, a wave that get something, gets the people going and believing and when  you have all the people that's when you have the power.
