Introduction:
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948) was one of the few men in
history to fight simultaneously on moral, religious, political, social, economic,
and cultural fronts. During his time as a lawyer in South Africa he developed
his strategy of non-violence: the idea of opposing unjust laws by non-violent
protest.
When Ghandi was 18 years old, he came to London to
train as a barrister (lawyer).
He tried behaving like an Englishman and took up
ballroom dancing.
In these days he got stage fright while speaking in
court.
1. Mahatma Ghandi Memorial Hospital
2. Durban street The Point road was renamed after Mahatma Ghandi
3. Ghandi had his first taste of racial discrimination shortly after his arrival in South Africa, when he was
thrown off a train at Pietermaritzburg station after he refused to move to a third-class carriage. The city of
Pietermaritzburg, about 100km from Durban erected a statue of Gandhi on the site where he was arrested .
