Gandhi made this march to stop
the tax about salt. Lots of
people followed him during this
march.
Personal explanation
• I think he’s considered as a hero because:
- he led a people to the liberty
- he meant all this fight without any violence, he always extoled
peace.
- the Indian people believed in him and finally trust him and his
ideas.
- He proves that with wisdom and patience we can do everything
we want.
In our opinion a hero is an ordinary person who made extraordinary things and
it’s evident that Gandhi is one of them.
