Gandhi spent seven years in jail because of his political activities. To him, it was honorable to be jailed for a good cause. He continued his nonviolent protests and disobedience to British rule. He had faith that truth and nonviolence would win in the end. In 1947, Britain finally bowed to Gandhi's peaceful pressure. India was finally granted independence. Sadly, Gandhi was assassinated for his beliefs in 1948. Years later, Martin Luther King, Jr. would use Gandhi's nonviolent ways to protest injustice in America. Gandhi is remembered to this day as "Mahatma." The word means "great soul."
