Why was Gandhi able to overcome british imperialism?

He had overcome British imperialism by first not fighting back when assaulted. In south Africa he protested how they should burn government passes because if the British preach liberty but they don't allow them to really live, and that was unfair. By uniting India he would be able to fight against the British, but he would need to have to unite three polar opposite groups. By doing this it helps him overcome British imperialism. He was also able to overcome imperialism by identifying with the lower class Indians by dressing like them. In his speech he was able to sway the masses and abolishing untouchability and burn every British cloth. Every time he is thrown in jail he fasts so his body is different, and if he dies in jail the British look bad so they let him out early. during the salt march, by the British ignoring, laughing, fighting, and losing Gandhi was able to overcome this Independence by using civil resistance and the idea of being in control. Also, even when Gandhi is put in prison the movements still go on, meaning that he has raised awareness. that is also why the reporter who is American is there.

I think that Gandhi did enjoy it because he got to unite a nation, but once Pakistan was created it seemed as if everything that he had worked for had just gone away even though he overcame British tyranny. This created a civil war which was or good so it started off as an amazing thing, but it ended up being very bad. If Gandhi would have lived, i still think that there still would have been problems because the only thing that united them was that one common goal of overcoming British tyranny and imperialists. Once that goal was reached there was no reason for them to be united anymore. I think that there might be a brief peace in the fighting but people never forget where they came from and in this case, both Hindus and Muslims are enemies. And when Gandhi was shot that proved that people could never be completely unified.
