How the film gandhi deals with the themes of war and peace

On one occasion, Gandhi and his colleague, who is a pastor, are assaulted by British youths, but they do not pay evil with evil. Even when Gandhi is attacked and beaten by British soldiers, he only responds through peaceful ways, not through physical fights. Within Gandhi's film, all the instances where either British soldiers or youths enact wars, the Indians give back humility and obedience and never respond by engaging in physical fight with their enemies. Gandhi's film, India is presented as a nation that is clutched by the British colonies, and though Gandhi wants to liberate his fellows, he does not want to resort to violence. Gandhi film showcases the main character using fasting as a peaceful tool to fight for independence, instead of applying force.

Notwithstanding that the British government alarmed the police to start wars when they realized that the Indians had burned their passes, Gandhi rose and informed the Britons that they were not prepared to fight at all. Although Indians had been given passes by the British government in South Africa to be distinguished from the English people living in South Africa, they protested against the British government because there was no justice. Though the British soldiers in the film beat Gandhi, he does not fear at all, and as such the Indians see a leader that they can emulate. All the Indians realize that their leader, Gandhi, the main character in the film, is a charismatic leader who has high self-confidence, strong convictions and is diligently committed to influencing people to resist inhumane traits, even when they are facing danger.

Due to the distinctions notable within Gandhi, Indians are forced to cope with him in the struggle for independence. Gandhi offers himself to speak in front of the Hindus and Muslims; at the time there are stricter laws imposed against the Indians. Although the Indians raise uproar when Gandhi addresses them and persuades them not to attack any British policeman who enters their homes and executes any evil, he still insists on peaceful protests. He pleads with the Indians not to strike any blow, but be encouraged never to lose on the war for justice. When Gandhi leads miner’s strike, British constables come riding horses particularly to disperse Gandhi and the crowd; however, Gandhi tells the group not fear the soldiers but instead lies down within the road.
