Date: 2020-03-13

Ahimsa is about changing the 'other' rather than over-powering or defeating them. This is the lived experience of Ela Gandhi, anti-apartheid activist, former member of the South African parliament and Mahatma Gandhi's grand-daughter. Here Ela shares memories of her childhood on the Phoenix farm settlement, founded by her grandfather, and reflections on the violence of harsh economic disparities that persist long after apartheid ended.
