Salt March

Gandhi, to protest against tax on salt, in March 1930 launched a new passive resistance: 



Gandhi and followers had walked 400 kilometers to make their own salt. This resistance has been called as "Salt March"Quickly towards the sea, with thousands , Gandhi carried a walking miracle. This walk made British Goverment to imprison over 60,000 Indians. 

Gandhi-Irwin Pact has been done in March 1931 with an outcome of this resistance.  In addition,Gandhi is invited to the round-tabel conference in London, as the sole representative of the Indian National Congress. 

Nazis had occupied the islands of Britain.He gave Britains the following advice:  

"The weapons you have is not enough to save nor you neither the humanity. Invite Herr Hitler and Signor Mussolini to take what they want.... If these gentlemen show wishes to enter your homes, leave your house. If you are not allowed to go freely , let them kill you with all men, women and children. But reject to offer your loyalty to them. 

After the War, to the Jews,he said:  

"The Jews should have presented themselves to the butcher's knife. They should have jumped from cliffs into the sea."
