Gandhiji's Amritsar Massacre

Gandhi 's six points have been inspirational to many people, whether it 's during a non-violent protest or just in general, these points have helped us all. Whether it 's the Delhi clothing burning or the salt march his followers have stayed believing he will bring them equality and justice. The burning of British clothes in the street of Delhi Gandhiji 's followers publicly burned their clothes just to make a point and even though it 's after the Amritsar Massacre they followed through. This requires courage, showing Gandhiji 's first point, nonviolence is not passive, it takes courage. Through the whole movement Gandhiji has lead people when threats arose, he didn 't stand there; he walked. He walked when few would, which requires courage.

The fifth point is about refusing to harm to others and rejecting the hatred and standing up to an atrocity. The Amritsar Massacre was devastating, but the people were faced with guns yet they did not run, they stood there weaponless ready to be harmed but refusing to cower and attack them. The Massacre was when a leader in the name of Gandhi was giving motivational words to the public, then the British come and trap them in an enclosed area. And what did the British call? They called fire, without warning, on women, children, seniors, and men. They called an open fire on a group of harmless people, with no weapons, and no place to hide or run. This is the strongest representation of nonviolence, I

The last point of the six is about faith, faith that justice will prevail itself. When the people stood there with guns facing them at the Amritsar Massacre they stood there as a symbol. Saying their deaths meant something, that they stood there for a reason not lifting a finger, saying this is for the greater good. This will show people how committed we are to Gandhi this will show who we are as a people and who the British truly are. We believe that from this something greater will happen and although we never will get to see it we are representing that we have a strong faith that the path to victory will unveil or at least gain new support to end the British laws. We are standing here today to save India, and represent that we will not stand here and be treated unjustly as if we are the strangers
