HWC Day 64 - Gandhi, Independence, & Partition

Objective:  Evaluate the historical developments of South Asia.  Describe the strategy and influence of Gandhi's non-violent civil disobedience.  Analyze the causes and consequences of Partition.

Task:  When you arrive to class, please get out a whiteboard and marker.  Work with a partner to answer the following questions:

1.  What does it mean to be "civilized"?  
2. What are the advantages to using non-violent civil disobedience as a method of protest?

Before we formulate an answer to this question, we'll explore the evolution of Gandhi's ideology using select images from his life.  Next, we'll consider the course of independence and the partition of India.
