How did Gandhi use civil disobedience to promote change in India?

I think it was a mixture of shame and appeal to higher ideals that made Gandhi's methods effective. He shamed the British and the Indian soldiers and administrators who worked for the Raj by practicing nonviolence in the face of violence. There was an early protest in which the Raj soldiers beat peaceful demonstrators, and that was the point, to show that the Raj lacked moral authority.

He showed that his motives were to help the common people. His economic protests (march to the sea, aka salt march, and making and wearing homespun) showed Indian subjects that they had more power than they thought, and dared the Raj to crack down - again revealing the higher moral standing of the Congress side (pro-independence Indian National Congress, the party Gandhi helped lead). He preached nonviolent reaction to violence later - even after Independence - to show angry sectarians that there is a third way, beyond one side winning of the other side winning.

And he succeeded in shaming his country ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
