Mohandas+Gandhi

=Mohandas Gandhi=

Mohandas Gandhi began as a western-educated lawyer in South Africa in the early 20th Century. When he arrived back in India, the treatment of the Indian natives by the British caused him to fight to obtain their rights. Satyagraha, meaning "truth force", was Mohandas Gandhi's strategy of nonviolent protest. His civil disobedience movements influenced other civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King and the rest of the colonized world.
