Why did gandhi burn the passes in the first place?

Answer 1

That scene, from Richard Attenborough's biopic film of Mahatma Gandhi, is semi-fictional. While Gandhi did encourage fellow Indians and Asians to burn their registration papers, he was never beaten by the police for that action as depicted in the film.

Artistically, however, Attenborough takes license with Gandhi's life at that point to depict the depth of Gandhi's commitment to his principles of non-violent resistance. The director has Gandhi continue burning the passes, demonstrating that he considered himself equal to his oppressors even while they continued their oppressive actions.
