Mohandas Gandhi la marche du sel

*Warning:* This video contains historical scenes of violence that may shock an unprepared audience. In 1930, the apostle of non-violence Mohandas Gandhi launched the 'salt march'. His objective: to force the British colonial power to negotiate with the Indian autonomists. Accompanied by thousands of sympathizers, he went to the edge of the ocean to collect a handful of salt, a product whose trade was severely controlled by the British. This campaign of civil disobedience will mark a major turning point in the history of India. Seventeen years later, it is independence!
