Question

what did gandhiji wear in south africa?

Answer 1

In the  beginning Gandhiji used to wear a coat-pant and a hat. Then he started wearing a  lungi (a wrap around cloth). Later he started wearing a dhoti, a long coat and a  turban.
Then he  changed to wearing clothes made from Khadi - a khadi shirt, a khadi stole and a  khadi cap (topi) but later he started wearing only a khadi wrap around.
He went  to South Africa in early age. He practiced there along with other pleaders  and barristers. So he too wore western clothes like them.
But he  realised that Indians were treated very badly there. So he prepared his people  for satyagraha.
There  were poor Indian labourers in his army. He thought that if he was going to lead  them how could he dress up differently from them and eat good food too. A leader  like Gandhiji was not going to make discrimination like this.
Then he  decided to dress up like his poor brothers. So he bid good-bye to Western  coat-pants and started wearing lungi and a shirt along turban.

An attack on personal dignity
Gandhi was         wearing a turban on his head when he went to the court. The judge, noticing it, as a way of acclimatising to the courts in South Africa, asked him to remove the turban he was wearing.
Gandhi refused on the grounds that removing headgear was a sign of  disrespect in India, and left the court. 
 This was the first insult that he had to suffer in South Africa.
