None of us likes to feel unwanted. Even less do we like to have to take insults and abuse from others. In South
Africa, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was rapidly made aware that Indian people were disliked, unwanted and
frequently insulted. Barbers refused to cut his hair. He was attacked and beaten up by a stagecoach driver when
he refused to give up his seat to a white passenger.
Shortly after his arrival on a business visit to South Africa, Gandhi was put off a first class railway coach by a
policeman acting at the request of a white passenger who refused to share compartment with a brown skinned
Indian.
After being made to give up the seat, for which he had a valid first class ticket, Gandhi had to spend the night
shivering in a freezing station waiting room. That night he had plenty of time to consider his future as a new arrival
in a hostile, unfriendly country. He had three options open to him. He could choose to ignore the insult and abuse
and carry on regardless. Or, he could go back to India as planned. Or, he could decide to stay and fight racial
prejudice. Gandhi decided it was his duty to stay and use his legal knowledge to fight for the black people of
South Africa.
