Ga Virtual Learning: Nonviolent Resistance and Indian Independence

This is a lesson from a unit on 20th Century and Modern Poetry focuses on Mohondas Gandhi and his nonviolent resistance against British rule of India. It features links to Gandhi's biography, his ejection from a train in Pietermaritzburg, and his statement at his trial for sedition at the Great Trial of 1922. Students are asked to consider the question, "Is this type of passive resistance, or civil disobedience, effective in all situations?"
