America shares ideals of individualism, patriotism, equality, and a high regard to freedom. Freedom is the power or right to speak, act, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. American Independence has endured 236 years, while when one glances upon India independence it has persisted for 67 years from British control. An advocator for India 's independence would be Mohandas K. Gandhi; this is where the reference of the Salt March comes in to play.

At first glance, the use of ethos within Gandhi 's letter conveys how properly the letter spoke to the people of India and to the British rule; this is due to his own morals and non-violent tendencies. Gandhi was then able to sway a large majority of Indians to stand with him. Raised by Hindu parents Gandhi was heavily influenced by Jainism. The Jains believe in Ahimsa, which is refraining from non-violent tendencies including physical, mental, or verbal, aggression. “My personal faith is absolutely clear.

(Line 16 in the Letter to Viceroy, Lord Irwin)There is no control on a curse it is generally placed upon someone or something.
