Mahatma Gandhi was born in 1869 at Portandar in Western India. After studying in India, he dreamt of going to England to study.
He was told that his Hindu religion did not allow voyages abroad. However, Gandhi was very determined and he finally left for England in 1887.
At first, he tried to learn to behave like an English gentleman, but he soon learnt that it was better to be himself. He studied law in London, qualifying in 1891. He also learnt about other religions.
(2) He returned home to India and worked as a lawyer for two years. After some problems, he was offered a job in South Africa.
Here he experienced racism as a member of the Indian community. He decided to fight for the rights of Indians using "passive resistance".
