Movements of the world take many different skills to make the movement successful or complete. In the Indian Freedom Struggle many of the Indians were being oppressed by the British and were being treated as unequal. In the Marriage Equality movement the LGBTQ people were being treated as unequal by not being able to marry whoever they wanted to. Based on the movements and the conditions there were specific qualities and strategies, used which made the two movements look similar even though they are different movements.
The most important personal quality needed in a social movement is determination because with out determination nothing can get done and the point would not be made. In the Indian Freedom Struggle determination helps activist never give up. During the salt raid (a Indian movement) all that the Indians were trying to do was touch the salt plants and since they weren’t allowed to the British savagely attacked them. Determination is important because if the Indians did not have determination nothing would be changed and when they got to the salt farm they would of all ran. Determination can help to get equality for marriage because without the drive people have nothing will get done. LGBT people are getting beaten up and attacked and this things fuels the people and make them want to try and stop it. Determination can be applied in many different situations. Students need determination when they have to write a long essay. Determination is needed to keep people going.
One of the greatest strategies that can be used is boycotting. In the Indian Freedom Struggle one of the greatest strategies used was boycotting. The british would bring their own manufactured clothes in to take out the Indians out of the economy. Because the Indians felt like they were being oppressed in their own economy they decided to boycott the people that had oppressed them. LGBT people can boycotting homophobic stores or people who are owners and are homophobic. The LGBTQ people may not have a mass group of people on their own but with the mass support of many people gay and straight they will be able to pull of a good and forceful boycotting. This strategy can be used for many different social movements. You could use it for an economical, political, and social type of movement. Overall this strategy had helped many movements succeed.
Injustices in both the Indian Freedom Struggle and the Marriage equality movement are very similar. In the Indian Freedom Struggle many Indians were discriminated against just because of the color of their skin. They were looked down upon and that they were lesser people. They were also ripped off in the markets and were not given as good of jobs as the white people. For the LGBTQ issues it was the same. Many people were looked down upon and considered lower in society. They are given not as good as job as strait people. These are all the injustices and can be connected to the Indian Freedom Struggle. The the things that happened an are happening to these people are wrong and unjust. They were looked down upon or considered unequal in society because of the color of their skin and their beliefs.
In Conclusion, based on the movements and their conditions there were specific qualities, strategies, used in which made the two movements look similar even though they are different movements. The Indian Freedom Struggle and the Marriage Equality supporters needed to have determination because without the determination of the supporters the movement would not be able to survive and succeed. Both movements also used the boycotting strategy because it was an effective way to take control and to also be nonviolent. As in relation to me this quality is shown in my life to be determined to my very best at whatever I do. Also I use the strategy of boycotting when every I don't like a certain store I won't go their. In the world many people have many different social movements that are dealing with many different injustices. These some of the skills that people have to bring together a well rounded movement.
