He knew that lodging formal governmental protests was useless, and instead set out to create public displays of popular protest that would be picked up by newspapers and magazines and film newsreels. He always took the case to the public, and never missed a chance to create a spectacle. Bill, if you've never seen the film "Gandhi", I do recommend it. The depiction has some flaws, but it lays out the amazing sequence of events fairly accurately. I'd also recommend Gandhi's excellent autobiography, which is easy to find.

Maybe I can come up with an answer as the day progresses, but anyone is welcome to help me out. How did Ghandi\'s actions become known to the world? When Ghandi protested against the oppressive British rule by fasting, how did we hear about it? Here\’s a question.
