2. What are some examples of Ghandi's civil disobedience?
Ghandi, a famous political and spiritual leader of India, is a human being that is a prime example pertaining to civil disobedience. He first exploited civil disobedience by becoming an expatriate lawyer in South Africa, in the resident Indian community's struggle for civil rights. In 1915, after returning to India, Ghandi organized peasants, farmers, and urban labourers in protesting against discrimination and excessive land-taxes. He also lead ubiqitous campaigns for numerous controversies occuring through out the nation, and even fasted as a way of purification and protest. Ghandi's persistence to protest landed him in jail several times, where he continued to fight and protest for his rights & the rights of others. Each time Ghandi was imprisoned he was released shortly after, as he never used or indirectly caused violence or crime.
