name: Mohandas Karamchand gandhi People fondly called him Bapuji – meaning father, hence he is called father of the nation He is widely known as Mahatma, ie great soul. He brought down the mighty british empire with just a small stick which he never rised. Should read this part though In South Africa, Gandhi faced discrimination directed at Indians. Initially, he was thrown off a train at Pietermaritzburg, after refusing to move from the first class to a third class coach while holding a valid first class ticket. Traveling further on by stagecoach, he was beaten by a driver for refusing to travel on the foot board to make room for a European passenger This particular incident changed his life and thinking. He came from a well to do family and had gone to South Africa to practice law as he was a barrister(lawyer) He is indirectly resposible for end of aparthide in south africa, Civil movement in US, as he was an inspiraion for Nelson Mandela and Martine luther king. He is a man who is born once in a thousand years, only Bhuddha, vivekananda ,Mohhamad etc. can be compared to this man
