Mahatma Gandhi [SEP] Introduction
The same year Gandhi adopted the Indian loincloth, or short "dhoti" and, in the winter, a shawl, both woven with yarn hand-spun on a traditional Indian spinning wheel, or "charkha", as a mark of identification with India's rural poor. Thereafter, he lived modestly in a self-sufficient residential community, ate simple vegetarian food, and undertook long fasts as a means of self-purification and political protest. Bringing anti-colonial nationalism to the common Indians, Gandhi led them in challenging the British-imposed salt tax with the Dandi Salt March in 1930, and later in calling for the British to Quit India in 1942. He was imprisoned for many years, upon many occasions, in both South Africa and India.
