• holding fast to the truth/justice- lying is a form of violence
• non stealing
• chastity 
• non-possession
• equal respect for all religions
• must be leading a chaste life, and be willing to die or lose all his possessions.

• Ahimsa is non violence
• turn the other cheek
• disagrees with violence towards animals

ways that Gandhi carried out his belief on ahimsa

• non-violent protests
• making salt
• strike action
• civil disobedience- burning of 10 passes- significant for equality/ rights for Indian people in south Africa
• fasting- this only works if people care about you
• salt mine protest
• vegetarian- disagrees with violence towards animals

• Gandhi fought against the caste system, especially the treatment of the untouchables.
• he believed in  rights for woman- to speak, against child marriage, for widows to re-marry, for woman to have an education
• Believed in equal respect for all religions

Ways that Gandhi fought for his beliefs:

• Gandhi allowed the untouchables to live in the ashram
• He spoke out for the rights for widows to re-marry
• He spoke out against child marriage
• He often got his wife to speak for him, thus emphasising the right for woman to speak
• He spoke out for tolerance of other religions

• Wanted independance from the British

Gandhi achieved this by:

• wearing homespun clothing
• making salt

• Gandhi wanted Hindus and Muslims to live together

Unfortunately, Gandhi failed to achieve this.
