Gandhi, Mohandas Karamchad (Mahatma) (1869-1948)

Beschreibung / Inhalt
Das Dokument handelt von verschiedenen Abschnitten im Leben von Mahatma Gandhi, einem politischen Führer und Freiheitskämpfer, der in Indien und Südafrika aktiv war. Der Auszug enthält Informationen über Gandhis Kindheit, seinen Aufenthalt in England als Student sowie seine Arbeit als Anwalt und politischer Aktivist in Südafrika. Es beschreibt auch seine persönliche Entwicklung, wie er sich von einem schüchternen und konformen jungen Mann zu einem mutigen und gewaltlosen Widerstandskämpfer wandelte. Ein wichtiger Aspekt ist auch Gandhis Kampf gegen die Diskriminierung von Indern durch die britische Kolonialmacht, seine Gründung von Organisationen zur Unterstützung der indischen Gemeinschaft und seine gewaltlosen Proteste gegen das Unrecht. Das Dokument zeigt deutlich, wie Gandhi sich von einem überzeugten Anwalt der britischen Kultur und Lebensweise zu einem unbeugsamen Verfechter der indischen Unabhängigkeit und der Rechte der Unterdrückten entwickelte.
