Gandhi moved to South Africa to work as a
1893. It was under British rule at that time and there was a
lot of discrimination. For example, Indians could not go out
at night freely or walk on the sidewalk. There were also
hotels that did not accept Indian guests.
In 1906, the British made a law that was even more
unfair to Indian people. Indians in South Africa got angry
and stood up against the law. Gandhi decided to lead a
movement to protect their rights. His message was "Don't
follow the law, but don't use violence, even if you are
arrested." Soon the jails became full of Indians, and Gandhi
himself was sent there.
Finally, in 1914, after many years and much effort,
the law was removed. It showed that non-violent movements
can be effective.

Gandhi returned to India in 1915. India was also a
British colony. In those days, there was a law that the
British made for salt. According to the law, only the British
could produce or sell salt. They put a heavy tax on it. The
Indians were very poor, but they had to buy expensive salt.
The money went to the British. Gandhi thought it was
unfair.

In 1930, Gandhi decided to walk to the sea and make salt
himself. He started with 78 followers. Thousands of people
joined him on the way. After walking almost 400 kilometers,
he reached the sea. This non-violent march was called the
Salt March. News of the march spread around the world. It
showed people a new way to fight against discrimination.
Gandhi's peaceful fight continued after that. In 1947,
15 India won independence. Non-violent protest is the legacy
that Gandhi left. It has influenced famous leaders, such as
Martin Luther King, Jr. and Nelson Mandela.
