Upon his arrival in India, he was included in the list of honourable persons. His 20 years in South Africa gave nationalist theorists and organizers in India enormous respect.

He invited Gopal Krishna Gokhale, a senior leader of the Indian National Congress, to join the Indian National Movement against the tyrants of British rule, mediated by C. F. Andrews. When he returned to India he was guided by Gandhi about the political situation in India and the social issues of the time. Gandhi brought the philosophy of truth and the emphasis on non-violent cooperation into what he called Satyagraha in India in 1915 and was elected to the Congress Party.

Gandhi began to push for independence from the colonial government and organized resistance to the Law of 1919 which gave British authorities the carte blanche to imprison suspected revolutionaries without trial. Britain responded to that resistance by mowing down 400 unarmed protesters in the Amritsar massacre. Meanwhile, Gandhi pushed for domination at home, encouraging boycotts of British goods and organising mass protests.

The flouting of the salt law was followed by the spread of civil disobedience in the country. In the first phase of the movement, salt production spread throughout the country and became a symbol of people's resistance to the government.

Lord Irwin's agreement ended the salt satyagraha in exchange for concessions including the release of thousands of political prisoners and gave coastal residents the right to harvest salt from the sea. People's stigma about the GNDHII rebellion staged in South Africa is still present.

The movement called for a Satyagraha of Mahatma Gandhi to produce pure salt from seawater to feed the millions in the country who were taxed because they had salt. Lord Hardinge supported the Satyagrahas movement and praised the movement that Gndhii had launched in South Africa against racial discrimination.

The salt march, also known as the Dandi Movement, is considered a key event in the history of the struggle for freedom. Gandhi set himself the goal of Swaraj (self-government), which became the motto of the Indian freedom movement.

At the Calcutta Congress in 1928, Gandhi declared that if the British granted India supremacy, India would erupt in a revolution for full independence. The salt march alone did not bring India independence, but it undermined the British authorities and united the Indian people in an independence movement led by the Indian National Congress, Inc. The salt march signalled a new stage in the struggle for Indian saraj (self-government) and facilitated the downfall of the British empire in India.

Mahatma Gandhi was the leader of India's non-violent independence movement from British rule in South Africa and a champion of Indian civil rights. Born in Porbandar, India, he studied law and organised a boycott of British institutions as a peaceful form of civil disobedience. In Gandhi's salt, Satyagraha, a word for civil resistance meant to hold on to the truth, used the traditional South Asian cultural practice of Padyatra, a long spiritual march that became a model for strategic actions for many social movements in the decades to come.

Mohan Das Karam Chandra Gandhi, also known as Mahatma Gandhi or Bapu, was born on 2 October 1869 in Porbander, Gujarat. Gandhi Gandhi was born on 2 October 1869 to Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi in Porbandar in Kathiawar, India, a part of the British Empire, to British nationalist leader Gandhi.

Mohan Das Karamchand Gandhi [1] ( 2 October 1869 -- 30- January 1948 ) was an Indian lawyer, [2] anti-colonial nationalist, [3] political ethicist [4] who resisted without violence and led the successful campaign for Indian independence from British rule [5 ] which in turn inspired movements for civil rights and freedom around the world. He changed the mode of the Indian freedom struggle through his ideology and his political will.

Born and raised in a Hindu family in the West Indian coastal region of Gujarat, Gandhi studied law at the Inner Temple in London and was ordained a lawyer in June 1891 at the age of 22 years. After two uncertain years in India where he was unable to establish a successful legal practice, Gandhi moved to South Africa in 1893 to represent an Indian merchant in a lawsuit. It was in South Africa where he raised a family and campaigned nonviolent for civil rights.

He founded the organization of small farmers and urban workers to protest against excessive land taxes and discrimination. After defeating Churchill and the Conservatives in the 1945 British General Election, Labour Party negotiations on Indian independence began with the Indian National Congress and Mohammad Ali Jinnah's Muslim League. Gandhi played an active role in these negotiations, but could not prevail in the hope of a united India.

Consequently the Indian flag was unfurled on 31 December 1929 in Lahore and the following 26 January was celebrated as Indian Independence Day. A hero reception awaited Gandhi when he landed at the Apollo Bunder in Bombay on January 9, 1915. Thousands of people joined him in making the march one of the largest marches in Indian history.

Three days later, the people of Bombay honoured Gandhi with a grand reception at the palace of Bombay magnate Jehangir Petit. The Indian government joined the people and all of India in paying homage to Gandhi. Gandhi received the Emperor-i-Hind Gold Medal from the Royal Birthday Honours List in 1915.

Gandhiji led several civil rights movements in South Africa, but faced enormous discrimination based on race and skin color. In an event that had dramatic implications for the Indian people, a young Indian lawyer who worked for the South African government, Mohandas K. Gandhi refused to abide by rules of segregation on a South African train, and was thrown out of Pietermaritzburg.

Born in India and educated in England, Mohandas K. Gandhi, a young Indian lawyer in South Africa, travels to South Africa to work as a law firm on a one-year contract in early 1893. When he settles in Natal, he is immediately exposed to racism, as South African law restricts the rights of Indian workers.

Activists around him developed a strategy called Satyagraha (Truth Through Violence), in which activists went on peaceful marches and stood for arrest to protest against unjust laws.
