An incident who convert Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi into Mahatma Gandhi

In May 1893, while Gandhi was on his way to Pretoria, When his train reached Maritzburg late in the evening, a white man objected to Gandhi's presence in a first-class carriage, and he was ordered to move to the van compartment at the end of the train. who had a first-class ticket, refused, and was thrown off the train at Pietermaritzburg. Shivering through the winter night in the waiting room of the station, Gandhi made the momentous decision to stay on in South Africa and fight the racial discrimination against Indians there. Out of that struggle emerged his unique version of nonviolent resistance, Satyagraha. Today, a bronze statue of Gandhi stands in Church Street, in the city centre.





Mahatma Gandhi was known for his unique ways of fighting the British. His ideologies were different from most of the freedom fighters. The British behaved cruelly with the Indians. They treated them like animals. They loaded them with work and paid hem meagrely. This invoked anger in many Indians who came forward to fight the British. Filled with the feeling of hurt and anger, they took to aggressive means to drive the British officials out of the country. However, Mahatma Gandhi chose a completely different way thereby astonishing the others.

Peace and Non-Violence

As per him, if a person slaps you on one cheek then instead of slapping him back you should offer him the other cheek too.
