Please feel free to post on our history forum about Gandhi in South Africa and his return to India and the great things he accomplished.  |
Hi Ches,
If you wanna know more about Mr.Mohan Doss Karamchand Gandhi.,Barrister-at-law ,PRIVATE LEGAL PRACTITIONER in South Africa during the early 1900 ,Please say a HUGE THANKS to MR.RICHARD ATTENBOROUGH AND BEN KINGSLEY and leave the rest to HISTORY.
The film won "oscars" which would be more interesting to admire and to understand the POWER of that frail man called GANDHI.
The film also depicts the exact scenario of the south african RACIAL situation ,which extended its dredful tentacles even on an "EDUCATED ATTORNEY"...Mr.Gandhi.
Mr.Gandhi was literally PUSHED OFF from a train in which only" whites "were allowed to travel,and that triggered the "FREEDOM THIRST" in Mr.Gandhi .
Please, do imagine if this COULD happen to an Attorney ,what could be the fate of an illiterate person of those times.
"HUMILITY" is the greatest virtue....GANDHI .
best wishes,
LEGALEAGLE
