In South Africa, a young Indian lawyer is thrown off a train because he refuses to travel second class. He had enough of the unfair political system and joined the Congress Party of India, which promotes social change through passive resistance. When he is imprisoned for his “subversive” activities, masses of low-skilled workers go on strike to support his peaceful and revolutionary position. When Gandhi returned to India in, he renounced the Western lifestyle and fought to organize Indian labor against British colonialism.The attack cost the lives of many British soldiers,and the Crown responded by killing 1,500 Indians. The ascetic and angry spiritual leader continues to preach pacifism until he succeeds in freeing India from the tyranny of British imperialism.
