Mahatma Gandhi was 61 when he exemplified fighting for a cause in a nonviolent way. In 1930, seeking Indian independence, Gandhi led the Salt March to Dandi to protest the salt tax Britain had imposed. Weighing just 99 pounds, Gandhi walked 200 miles with his followers and illegally collected a block of salt. This act set off civil disobedience throughout the country, a pivotal moment in India’s fight for independence.
