Gandhi used hunger strikes for many reasons to protest against the British in a non-violent way. In January 1932, Gandhi was in jail near Bombay. There he started a hunger strike to protest British's government decision on separating Indian's electoral system by caste. Meaning that the richer had more say than the poor. In September 1932 Gandhi himself started a "fast unto death" to protest against British supporting a new Indian constitution. It gave the countries "Untouchables", they were the lowest class and mostly done the unwanted jobs like dealing with the dead and cleaning bathrooms. There own separate political representation for 70 years. Gandhi believed that it would divides India's social class. He fast ended in 6 days because the British government accepted the principal terms of settlement between the higher and the lower caste. On January 12, 1948, Gandhi undertook his last fast in New Delhi, to persuade Hindus and Muslims in that city to work toward peace and he was successful.
