Question

Why did Gandhi fast after Indian independence?
A. To convince the Hindu's and Muslims of India to end their fighting
B. Because there was so little food available
C. To prove that he was a holy man
D. To convince the British that India was capable of governing itself

Answer 1

Everyone knew Ghandi was a holy man, there was enough food available, and how would that prove anything to any government?

Using the process of elimination we can come to the conclusion that A is the only possible answer.

Is it logical? Yes! Ghandi was a well respected holy man and people followed in his steps. His fasting was a way to show peace.
