Gandhi was a man who gained India Independence. His name was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Gandhi was known as Indian political and spiritual leader. People changed his name to Mahatma Gandhi which means "Great Soul". Gandhi was thrown of the South African train because Gandhi was sitting in the first class couch and Indian were not allowed to sit in the first class couch. They were suppose to sit in the thrid class couch. When Great Britain took over India they sent Indian people to Africa as slaves so they can work.
Gandhi stayed in South Africa so he can help the Indians. Gandhi studied law school in England. When Great Britain took over India Gandhi stood up for his country and did many things that would give India its freedom back. Great Britain took over India in the 1600's. Gandhi was an non-violence man who never fought back with Great Britain whenever Great Britain attacked on India or Indian people. When the Indian fought back Gandhi use to stop eating just to make the people realize that we are not going to fight back. Gandhi was imprisoned in 1922, 1930, 1933 & in 1942. While Gandhi use to be in prison he went on hunger strike.
