Mahatma Gandhi

After the recent celebration of our 70th Independence Day, Mishti knows quite a bit about the day.
Some due to the patriotic movies watched by her father the entire day, some due to the little kid who dressed up like Lokmanya Tilak at our society's Independence Day event and a lot more after asking nearly 500 questions to me about Freedom, Freedom fighters and Independence.
Some questions were like..

"Mamma you said Pakistan was part of India, then if we both got independence then why did Pakistan get separated?"

"Mamma why did British people trouble us?"

"Mamma why would British people want our money if they had their own?"

And today's question was...

Mishti : "Mamma how did Mahatma Gandhi fight for freedom."

Me : He fought through non-violence which means without harming anyone.

Mishti : Mamma do you know if Mahatma Gandhi went for a Karate class when he was small?

Me : No... I have no idea betu.... but why?

Mishti : Just like that... I just wanted to know...
