The Gandhi movie deepened my understanding of Satyagraha and other Gandhian principles in many scenes. One scene that impacted my understanding of Satyagraha was when they went on the Salt March.

Rosa Parks’s and MLK’s acts both lead to equality with blacks and whites even though that wasn’t fully accomplished while they were still alive. This is definitely the most beneficial and efficient way that we can get rid of the school uniforms, as we can see from events in
