• He convices people.

• He was called: « Mahamta Gandhi » witch means « Master of Wisdom »

Salt March.

Gandhi made this march to stop the tax about salt. Lots of people followed him during this march.

Personal explanation • I think he’s considered as a hero because: - he led a people to the liberty - he meant all this fight without any violence, he always extoled peace.

- the Indian people believed in him and finally trust him and his ideas.

- He proves that with wisdom and patience we can do everything we want.

In our opinion a hero is an ordinary person who made extraordinary things and it’s evident that Gandhi is one of them.
