Gandhi On October 2, 1869, the "little brown saint" was brought into the world; during this time India was under the British monarchy. During his early years he didnt show the signs of developing into the great leader that he eventually became but nevertheless Gandhi aspired to be a lawyer, follow in the footsteps of his father and become a respected member of the community. Throughout his life Gandhi fought against colour prejudice, promoted religious harmony and toiled laboriously to gain independence for his country. Gandhi was a great man who brought about many changes all over the world but especially in India. ... Gandhi traveled to South Africa for the first time in the summer of 1892, to try his luck at a law firm. ... Gandhi felt this was completely unfair and by the time he had finished his campaign against color prejudice in South Africa, "the three pound tax on farm indentured laborers was annulled, Hindu, Muslim and Parsi marriages were declared valid; free Indians and their wives could continue to come into the country from India"(Pg. ... Gandhi achieved this status for Indians in South Africa by a method called "Satyagraha" or "passive resistance". ... This method of non co-operation earned Gandhi a great deal of respect, world-wide acclaim and helped him considerably reduce legalized racism against Indians in South Africa. Gandhi was a very patriotic man and believed that people in his country should become one in unity, but he knew that there were obstacles that had to be overcome. |
