The movie about Mohandis Gandhi is filled with many scenes that would catch a person’s eye. However, the two main scenes that had caught my eye are when he had began burning the passes because he felt that people should be able to walk around freely wherever and whenever they please without having to carry something that shows that they are “different”, when in reality everyone is the same. Gandhi was so serious about not wanting the passes that he had sat there not doing anything while the police beat him every time he had reached for another pass and put it in the fire.

Another scene that had caught my interest was when Gandhi was showing the British journalist around the Ashman. Gandhi walked around the Ashman showing the British man the men from all other different races and religion as if it wasn’t a problem. He was trying to make a point that everyone should be able to work and live together without one being higher than the other. He felt that the caste system and the unfair laws should be outlawed and everyone should be equal. I found it interesting how his wife still felt that she was above the others when she was asked to clean the bathrooms.

Passive resistant is when people oppose a government or a specific law that is passed by the use of non cooperation and other nonviolent methods such as economic boycotts and protest marches.

The Amritsar Massacre was named after the Jallianwala Baug garden in Amritsar. On April 13th, 1919, the British Indian army soldiers, who were under the command of Brigadier General Dyer, had began to open fire on a gathering of unarmed men, women and children. This had lasted for about 10 minutes and 1600 rounds were fired. The Official sources had placed the casuality rate at around 379. According to sources, the number exceeded over 1000, with more than 2000 wounded, and a Civil Surgeon had indicated that they were over 1800.
