Most thought that Gandhi's plan would not work it did, and India is free because of it. In the late 1940s, India was finally recognized as an independent nation and the British left the country.
Gandhi's methods, unusual as they were, surprisingly worked. Without people like Anjali, she could not succeed.
A well-read and intelligent man, Gandhi recognized the importance of buy-in to his ideas from the general public. To do so, Gandhi organized things like hunger strikes, which he considered to be more valuable than doing something like take up arms, for example. It was Gandhi who inspired people around India to join his movement called ahimsa, or an ancient principle which calls for nonviolence, to expel the British from India. Mahatma Gandhi is perhaps the most important character in the novel, even more so Anjali herself. She is resourceful and is able to change things despite not having many resources. And despite her youth, Anjali is able to inspire real change in her country (a country which she loves tremendously). Instead of running away from the situation, Anjali dives headfirst into the world and movement her mother had previously inhabited and makes a real difference. For instance, Anjali's mother is imprisoned because of her work fighting for Gandhi’s ahimsa-or nonviolence-movement advocating for the expulsion of the British from India. The protagonist of the novel, Anjali and a strong, intelligent, and level-headed girl who is willing to do anything to ensure the safety of her mother and her country. Written by people who wish to remain anonymousĪnjali is the ten-year-old girl at the center of Ahimsa. We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.
