Everyone has qualities in life.During a movement to end injustices in India, Gandhi included certain qualities. During the Indian Freedom Struggle Gandhi’s qualities: bravery, determination, and leadership. Gandhi was an activist during the Indian Freedom Struggle, which was a movement where people fought for equal rights and control of India, and get equal right and end injustices participants need specific qualities during that social movement there was two very important qualities to have which was determination and respect.
Gandhi was brave during the Indian freedom struggle. Gandhi's quality was brave because Gandhi starve himself and could have died. Bravery was a good quality to have because Gandhi became free of injustices. Gandhi let the illegal Salt March which proves that he doesn't care if he would have gotten arrested. If Gandhi doesn't care about disobeying the law then he is extremely brave. Gandhi was also brave in the movie called Gandhi when he was willingly going to jail. Gandhi and his people were also brave because they sold salt which was risking their life and freedom because Gandhi’s participants could’ve gotten killed or put in jail for breaking the law. Some people might say that anyone can break rules. However, Gandhi broke the role several times to prove that he wasn't afraid. All these reasons prove that Gandhi is a brave man.
Gandhi was determined because if you're not determined then when people put your movement down you can't give up. Gandhi was determined because he kept his social movement going for decades. Gandhi never gave up , and kept making things better for his movement. It also shows determination because Gandhi starved himself until people stopped being violent , which means he was willing to kill himself over people not being peaceful. Gandhi wasn't going to eat until people stopped killing and fighting each other. Some people might say that this caused more violence and was not productive. However, Gandhi made people stop being violent when he was about to die from starvation. Some people might say it brought more violence but it also helped the movement become stronger because most people stopped being violent because they didn’t want Gandhi to die. These reasons show that he was determined to make people stop being violent because God he didn't believe in violence. Gandhi didn't stop fasting until everyone stop being violent which proves that he was determined to make his point, violence wasn't right.
Gandhi was also a leader because when he did not use violence his and followers don’t either. When Gandhi starved himself for people to stop being violent most people stop. That shows that he was a leader and people actually have respect for him. In the article"Two Lessons From India's Greatest Leader Gandhi" it shows how Gandhi was one of the best leaders. If Gandhi wasn't a great leader people wouldn't make articles about him.The movie called “ GANDHI” proved that Gandhi was a leader because when they tried to march across the gates there were men there and they wouldn’t let Gandhi’s ( Gandhi’s people) through. So when Gandhi’s tried to cross the gates one or more at a time the men at the gates beat them really bad, but Gandhi’s people didn’t fight back because even though Gandhi wasn’t there they still followed his orders to not fight back and don’t use violence. Gandhi says use “no violence”, this was why he’s a leader.
The most important quality to have when working for social justice. Respectful is a good quality to have because no ones going to listen to rude people. The reason why Gandhi needed to be determined was because some people might not believe in you and put you down, but Gandhi stayed strong and kept his movement going prove those people wrong. Determination and being respectful were the most important qualities when Gandhi was trying to end injustices.
Gandhi has all the qualities needed to end injustices. Those qualities were being a leader, being determined, being brave and being respectful. If Gandhi didn't have these qualities he wouldn't have gotten too far with his moment. Gandhi games power and ended his injustice because of these qualities. Gandhi helped Indian people all around the world becomes free. Some people might say so why is this so important? Gandhi was never determined brave or leader India wouldn't be free of all those injustices, to this day. India would still be unfair and unequal if Gandhi was never determined, brave, a leader, and respectful he wouldn't have accomplished what he did. Gandhi gained those qualities and succeeded with his movement. These qualities are the most important because your movement wouldn't succeed.
