In his passage, Orwell uses tone to show his passion. Throughout lines 28-35 Orwell uses words such as, “impossible,” “defeated,” and “inevitable” to show how passionate he is about this topic.

Gandhi convinced the Indians that he could get them their independence. They would get their independence long as they didn't cooperate. Gandhi used a couple of lines from the Declaration of Independence that in other words meant, “if a law is unjust, then it is not a law.” Gandhi also told his people that in order to pretext they had to be willing to get jail time. Gandhi's methods worked because both his people and him were uncooperative.

Due to the race inequality along with the economic regulations among the Indian people, Gandhi’s ambition from the beginning of simply just wanting equality between the Indian and British transition to wanting India to become Independence. He wanted to give the Indian citizen a voice in the government and a chance to define their own nation. The Indian people lose their political power in terms of how the British authorities were exercising their power over them, implementing policies according to their own rules and administrating over the Indian’s resources. Gandhi throughout the film had the desire to help gain back India’s political power and it revolves around his method of passive resistance and self-sacrifice.

For example, when he uses the words “curse” and “unnecessary” this can easily cause him to think this letter is just Gandhi’s way of insulting him. Going back to paragraph 2, Gandhi mentioned he, “holds the British rule to be a curse”. Because of this, he is now portraying the feeling that he is not in the position to make agreeable gestures, or respect the manner of the Lord. Which in that case, could be a reason why the viceroy did not respond to Gandhi’s letter. Due to all the things Gandhi had said about the viceroys rule, when he says “this is not intended to be a threat” it really gives the Lord no other way to feel about Gandhi’s
At the sea, Gandhi picked up a handful of salt. This act went against the British law mandating that they buy salt from their government and this law did not allow them to collect their own salt.
