Gandhijs against Captialism​

Gandhi was highly against the British rule and the capitalism they brought with it. When the Congress was established, he would establish non-cooperation and bycott movements to show his fury against British produced goods, and instead of using the British private industries' goods to profit them, he would encourage Hindus to manufacture their own goods. He named this as "swadeshi"-an act of purifying Hindu culture, from British culture and goods. Probably the greatest evidence of Gandhi being against capitalism was the "Salt March" that he led, where he expressed his hatred towards laws like the salt law, which only gave specific people allowed by the government itself to set up salt industries/manufacture salt.
