| − | + | [[Ahimsa]] was such a wonderful story of activism and standing up for what you know is right. I have always been fascinated with Asian cultures, though I haven't read nearly enough stories set in India. So I was excited to read Ahimsa, a book about a time period I know very little about. This story is about a girl whose family is devoted to the Free India movement, led by Gandhi in the 1940s. At the time, the country was still being ruled over by Great Britain. | |

I loved the character of Anjali. She was such a great heroine. She was realistic in the way she was hesitant in the beginning to get on board with something that was going to make her uncomfortable - she had to get rid of her clothes and make herself stand out in the crowd AND fear for her mother's life. But once she understood what was really happening, she became devoted to the movement, even, at times, leading the adults. | I loved the character of Anjali. She was such a great heroine.
