veneration of the Indian people for their leader. Studied in Samaldas College
in Bhavnagar, and law at the University of Oxford, England. Returned to India
(1891) and then moved to Natal, South Africa, a country with a large population
of Indians, where he practiced law (1893-1914) and began his fight against
injustice and located humiliations suffered by Indians residents. Founded a
section of the Congress Party and laid the foundations of peaceful resistance,
satyagraha, based on the principles of nonviolent struggle and suffering as a
means to resist the opponent.

massacre in Amritsar (1919), in the state of Punjab, where British troops
killed some 400 Indian made commence their struggle for independence ( 1920),
it resulted in a prison term (1922-1924). On his release he had to work hard in
the reunification of communities and the Congress Party extremely divided

with the United Kingdom and has agreed to attend the Second Round Table

leaders of the future Indian nation. In protest against the decision of the
British government to segregate the lower castes, outcasts (1932) made one of
his notorious hunger strikes.

from the fight for the poor, which included the encouragement of regional
industries and the establishment of an education system geared to the needs of
