Mahatma Gandhi and the Dandi March :
The one pinch of salt that impacted a nation
Junior Division & Website Category
I chose this topic because i’ve always known about Gandhi using non-violence and about the Salt Satyagraha, but i’ve never actually known about the legacy that he left behind for it. For my research, I tried using a vast variety of sources such as using databases, libraries and encyclopedias. I think that creating a website really shows your creative side. I learned tons of new skills through creating my website, although I tried maintaining the theme of my website, sweet and simple. My topic relates to Leadership and Legacy because Gandhi took leadership in the Salt Satyagraha and for fighting for India’s independence and he left a legacy behind for many others to follow, such as MLKJ, fighting for Civil Rights in America. A leader is someone who is willing to do anything for their country, and that’s what it takes for a leader to have leadership. This topic is important in History, because it affects us on how we live today, even though we live in a different country. Gandhi using Non-violence, has affected many other leaders who got inspired by using non-violence such as Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King JR.
