- This is what people's protest mean......... from the historical biography of Gandhi, icon of freedom fight via peaceful protest. Lets see if we can emulate and achieve in similar magnitude during our clean gathering......
My father was a teenager during this time and says he participated in one of these protests. He says he got clubbed once and knocked down. He said this seen was an accurate depiction of the event.
God bless him. Thank you!
God bless him sir
Wow!
😯 You father should write an autobiographical article of his experience there!
It was Webb Miller , the journalist who exposed the imperialistic and brutal face of Britain to the world during Dandi march and Darshana Salt Satyagraha. He was one potraited in this scene conveying the brutality of Britain to American Newspapers.
And what did he accomplish with it in the end?
@@Angyali a lot
@@Angyali Got a strong reaction from president FDR who chided Winston Churchill for its brutal policies towards Indians and urged him to recognize its independence during the war.
People stopped supporting this colonial siht@@Angyali
@Angyali it raised anti imperial feeling in US. Atleast some of them which festered. By 1945 US was staunchly recognising any country who wanted independence from colonial rule.
The americans abandoned the british point completely during the suez canal crisis siding with Egypt.
I believe such courage deserves nothing less than admiration, in Newfoundland we must always show we are not merely imperial subjects but also a proud and ancient race of people, dependent on the sea, let us never forget the humility of Commission of Government or the collapse of the cod fishery which drove us out of our ancient fishing grounds and into grinding poverty

not too many scenes will make me cry this made me cry!

This is what makes change. Please stop fighting fire with fire..
Sometimes there's no other choice but to fight fire with fire. The more recent examples being Romania, Libya, current Syria.
Unfortunately, I don't think Non-violent protest like how Gandhi and MLK demonstrated will work nowadays. Far too many governments and despots all too willing to kill however many people it takes to maintain power and not care about world opinions.
The moment a tyrant/regime has made it clear they are willing to kill however many people it takes to maintain power and control, simply seeking change is no longer enough. It then becomes a matter of survival as well as change. A subjugated people at that point has little choice but to.fight fire with fire. The subjugated think, and not wrongly logically speaking, they're dead anyway, at least they'd have a fighting chance with violence
@@chrismc410 Non violence is best when you wanna avoid response in return but when situation is not willing then take on arms. In India people realsied true face of Gandhi he was a british puppet then why he had sent india soldiers to fight for brits in WW1 and WW2.
@@cappycapyt cuz they lied and promised independence if they fought for the British. Regardless of the cruelty of the British, the Japanese empire showed much more cruelty in how they treated Indian pows. I'm sure Germany wouldn't exactly be particularly emphatic either.
@@derekrulez390527 Everyone knew that British won't be true that's why only Gandhi followers died not the true people who fought for independence. Netaji Bose knew india needs to get independence on it's own and he tried best got hold of north-east
@@cappycapyt well no not really. A lot of soldiers that went were the ones already in military and were against gandhi because they were defending the British. Also, many people joined not just for gandhi but for financial reasons as that was the only way they could get money for family. Remember the Bengal famine was happening as well and joining the military judt to get food was happening. The British Def did bad shit but they don't compare to Japan nor Germany who would've and did commit many atrocities against Indian people. Bose had good ideas but he was wrong for allying with Japan. The Japanese would use captured Indian POW for bayonet practice. They would routinely kill Indian soldiers captured post battle. They tortured them and forced them to work as slave labor. They were actively trying to invade India and got all the way to Burma, while looting, pillaging, and raping Indian villages along the way. I would recommend you not listen to the new wave propaganda that is sweeping India trying to rewrite history. This is happening in India because the government thinks that the participation of Indian soldiers in WW2 fighting with the British was shameful. They don't even acknowledge the veterans of that war today because of that. They spread lies and elevate people like Bose instead of Gandhi to distract from the fact that the majority of Indians sided with Gandhi and the British. It's all pure propaganda and if you would like I have some interviews with ww2 veterans I can show you
A great movie and a great scene
Always moves me thinking of the essential good in human biengs
I PRAY THAT AMERICA FINDS COURAGE LIKE WE SEE HERE IN STANDING UP IN FIGHTING FOR REAL HEALTHCARE REFORM AND IN FIGHTING FOR REAL POSITIVE CHANGE NOT JUST FOR AMERICA BUT FOR THE WORLD....AMEN JOHN 14:27
We need to do something like this. Soldiers and police won't keep attacking peaceful protesters.
@@johnnyb7628 and given U.S. history, they'll probably get those things the hard way.
Easy way, relatively speaking: Gandhi's and MLK Jr's. way as seen here.
Hard way: people take up arms and take their rights due them by force and a lot of bloodshed on both sides
NORTH AMERICA.
Beautiful cinematography in this legendary film Gandhi that shows how India was united as one against the British. Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs fought as one under the immortal leadership of Gandhiji. This is what made India defeat without a bullet the so called mighty British empire. If only India would unite again like this again today there is no limit to its potential as a global leader
Makes me cry. Martin Sheen acted well
love him
I have watched this movie several times and I think of MLK and and what he and many thousands of others had to endure. I look at all of the countries that are protesting for their Independence and freedom and look at what Mr. Gandhi did with non violent non corporation.
True. And here come BLMs and turn everything racist again via identity politics… There‘s none of the forgiveness and love left of which MLK dreamed…
Do you think MLK was killed by a conspiracy, I do
Peaceful disruption is the only means to turn wrong upon itself! It goes on and on, STOP!
Rounds downrange toward the oppressors as history has also shown, likewise works too as Qaddafi, Ceausecu, Pol Pot, Heydrich, Hitler, Nicholas II, Louis XVI, and George III found out the hard way.
I have a feeling before i die, I'll see Kim Jong Un added to that list. Jury is still out on Putin. While bad, he hasn't quite risen to the level of those other guys yet, justifying such measures.
While Gandhi said "Truth and love away always wins" another saying is also true when the former fails:
"When peaceful protest is impossible, violent revolution is inevitable"---John F. Kennedy.
Libya, Romania, Cambodia, then- Nazi Czechkoslovakia, Nazi Germany, Imperial Russia, Monarchist France and Colonial America all successfully demonstrated the latter
Not quite the same thing as posting something on Facebook is it.
This made me cry
Me too!
One thing we don't talk about often, is that Indian Policemen sided with the British government, beat and killed Indian protesters. While there were Britishers(though few) who sided with India, stood with Gandhi or supported Indians in various ways that are now forgotten. The color of the skin does not determine who fought for the Indian Freedom struggle.
Here's your sea lion sticker
Do not blame the slave for using his slavery. He is born in a goldfish-tank. Blame those who have education, perspective, who make a genuine choice. They are the danger
@@JonathanXLindqviust you have a very wrong understanding of British rule in India. They were no slaves. Any Indian could get educated under the British empire and become a lawyer or doctor or anything. Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore was given the Sir title by the queen and white police men saluted him. Any of these police men could quit their job any time they want. These people pursued a police job and were proud of it. That’s very far from slavery.
The movie makes it clear that Indians were working for the British police too.
@@deborahminter6231yup
The direction and Martin Sheen's acting are top notch here.
Our grandparents was so strong...why we are so week.
The United Nations International #NonViolenceDay 2 October birthday of Mahatma Gandhi who lead the Indian people to freedom from under Colonialism.
Tears .. :(
Inside of those sticks are filled with iron to hit hard. People died in stick hits...😓
That makes sense. I was wondering why the men got hurt so much just from one hit.
Not the inside, the tips were steel. Yes 1300 people were in the march. Several died.
I think controlling your anger against enemy is most difficult than getting angry and killed your enemy.... Gandhi was very much luckey may be he was godsend that's why this all happened...
Like how the reporter took the side of the freedom fighters and knew exactly what to do at the end.
Black lives matter should watch this
I hope you find peace.
Antifa, take notes. This is what an actual peaceful protest looks like.
Great comment! Not just Antifa--white Supremacists, BLM, Trump loyalists, Maoists observe and learn what a peaceful, nonviolent, noncooperation looks like and can achieve!
You will never learn.
@@GoutamDAS-ls1wb
Perfectly said.
Rather than trying to figure out whether "the evil people" are these are those, let us encourage such active civil disobedience from all spheres of the popular.
Good will shine forth from this sort of activism.
Don't even hate silly young people who call themselves "Nazis". And Certainly don't fight them. Encourage them to stand up for their claimed principles by showing the world that they are willing to sacrifice for their ideals.
I have no doubt that only a good cause can mobilize thousands of people to practice Ahimsa -- self sacrifice without sacrificing others.
And this I know for sure, any philosophy that includes a moral justification for violence against someone who is non-violent is a philosophy with rot at its core.
Even if we believe that violence is justified against individuals who themselves engage in violence, history has taught us with absolute clarity that violence against those whose crimes are nothing more than speech or writings in support of evil is a greater evil.
The lesser reason for that is because most of those people still have a conscience and can be turned around by our show of disobedience-without-violence.
The greater reason is that when free speech ends, tyranny begins.
My grandma is a survivor of Auschwitz and that is why I came to study the subject and now teach it. And I am saying with complete confidence that any and all of us are endangered when we allow even the worst of us (say people who support a violent jihad or crusade) to have their rights taken away.
One who wishes to bring more light into the lives of humankind would not do it by fighting the darkness but by being a light.
Shadow Doc You people are such tools.
@@GoutamDAS-ls1wb I don't know what you mean by "Trump loyalists" but I voted for President Trump and I would never, ever condone the rampant looting, violence, burning, vandalism, assault and killing that went on for months with BLM/Antifa thugs. I also have not seen mobs of Trump supporters doing the same thing.
Also, the US and the world was very much better off with Trump than it has been since the progressive socialist commie Democrats under senile Biden took control.
It's a shame it was cut off before he says India is free
This holds so true for the current situation of the great country.
I guess you are right
Then you don't even understand what British were doing to us!! Learn your history well man, don't just watch UA-cam and have an opinion!!
@@pratikwaghmare9032 Since you seem to comprehend more than us and is well-read on 'our' history, please humour us with your understanding. Even some snippets will do.
@@Roonlovesfish3874 Come on dude!! There is whole lot between a colonial economy, polity and administration and democratic one!! Isn't it obvious ?? For example : The above scene is a part of the civil disobedience movement ( including disobedience of salt laws)!! Where do you find restrictions on salt laws today for Indians?
@@pratikwaghmare9032 You thought I was talking about restrictions of salt laws by the then government and comparing it with now? Well, I wasn't. I guess you do get what I am trying to incite with my initial comment. Or maybe you are not critical of the hypocritical way the BJP government runs the country bordering on similar principles the British did.
😭😭😭😭😭😭
god have mercy
on them
Notice how it's Indian nationals as the guards with clubs. The question begs... "How much are they paying you to beat your brothers?"
There are always some people in war which always work with the other side.
I would imagine that it would be pretty demoralizing to club person after person who is not even attacking you.
You just have to find some people who otherwise have no hope and convince them, "Hey! You've got a FUTURE... WITH *_US!_*
"Play your cards right, and some day we might even put you in a position where a DOZEN people or so are tipping their hats to YOU! Where else are you gonna get a deal like THAT? _HUH?"_
Sad to say, you'll have a whole line of people yelling "WHERE DO I SIGN?"

@@edwardkostreski6733indeed it is.
This is basically happening in America right now
Don't compare rioters and looters to these guys.
Do you honestly believe that Gandhi would be in favour of looting and setting cars and people's businesses on fire?
@@Shadowdoc26 Stop blaming others for your own problems.
@@NotCthulhu I’m
Not the one breaking windows or setting cars on fire
@@Shadowdoc26 Maybe not personally but you seem very supportive of the alt-right who are doing those things.
A time when the real-life Air Nomads fought against the real-life Fire Nation.
More nerve touching than any of Tom Cruise’s action movies
Even single politician was not hurt in the struggle of freedom, only common people was hurt. 😢😢😢
Like in the scene tells and shows Gandhiji who was a politician a night before was arrested and the gentleman leading the protesting crowd was Maulana Azad another politician got the first hit by the stick, so first think before you write a baseless comment
No more goddamn ads!!!

We're gonna enter the saltworks!
You're gonna eat stick !

It’s quite hard to tell who did disgrace themselves here more: The Indians for thus losing lordship over India or the Indians by thus driving out the English; for normally countries are to be delivered from foreign oppression by great battle victories like the Scottish one at Bannockburn. But to be driven out of India by protests, hunger strikes and tax boycotts proves that the English were mentally incompetent to rule, for such a thing could never ever happen to imperial folk like the Romans.
you are condemning indians for not engaging in violent struggle?
Yes, instead mass migration destroyed the Western Roman Empire...
Don't seek homogeneity. Because barbarism need not be the only solution. We Indians decided on a different path and yes, some factions within the great struggle believed in 'physically' ousting the aggressor, and they rightfully possessed the reasons to do so. But there was mutual respect even within these two camps.
So, please don't seek barbaric homogeneity that at least according to you, only marks the fruition of a struggle for independence.
Or the Former Soviet Union. They would especially under Stalin's reign, nearly every last one of those protesters would have been killed. Those that survived would surely go to the Gulags where they'd die anyway. Same with present day People's Republic of China. Too many despots are all too willing to kill half or a whole country to keep power. Evil learns from history too.
This is the way of cowards and weaklings
Beating the bloody shit out of people who take a stand for their prosperity and human rights is barbaric, and it is truly the way of cowards and weaklings. And oppressive tyrannts.
@@Angyali that’s why they should’ve fought back with violence
@@Angyali not behaved like lambs to the slaughter
The biggest con in Indian history done by a politician to almost the entire population of India for generations together. It's such a shame and Disrespect to our values which is immortalized by the greats of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Maharana Pratap, Bajirao Peshwa and many more iconic Warriors.
You have yet to understand the power of Ahimsa
That's not how you do a protest! Duh! 🙄
Yea I bet there was a few stitches delt out .
