Gandhi (1869-1948), also known as Mahatma Gandhi, was born in Porbandar in the present state of Gujarat on October
2, 1869, and educated in law at University College,
London. In 1891, after having been admitted to the British
bar, Gandhi returned to India and attempted to establish a
law practice in Bombay,
with little success. Two years later an Indian firm with
interests in South Africa retained him as legal adviser in
its office in Durban.
Arriving in Durban, Gandhi found himself treated as a
member of an inferior race. He was appalled at the
widespread denial of civil liberties and political rights
to Indian immigrants to South Africa. He threw himself
into the struggle for elementary rights for Indians. |
