The most important time in Gandhi's life was the
time he spent fighting for the independence of India. Great Britain was a
small country that owned India. Great Britain owned the United States
until 1776. India wanted to be free just like the United States.
Gandhi spent his entire life fighting for India's freedom. Gandhi's
longest fast was 21 days. He fasted for the independence of India and for
the war between the Muslims and the Hindus to end.
