In America, we are privileged to live in such a place where our religion is not put on trial and who or what one believes in is not reason to ignite violence on such an extreme stage. In the movie Gandhi, India is revealed much like the United States was during the Civil Rights Movements, a country split between the "serving" race and the "served" race. On a larger scale, there is violence against non-violence, as a means to gaining independence. The extreme courage it takes to fight a gun with human will, and to have such faith in human spirit, a way perhaps impossible in today's world. Gandhi allows the younger generations to observe what one man did for his people and how he open the eyes of the world, forcing them to see human strength, courage, and devotion never seen before nor since. .
The epic Gandhi reflects on India's past and the way in which Mohandas Gandhi formed the eternal relationship with the country. Mohandas was a Muslim Indian right out of his studies in London when he first encounters the harsh racism that has embedded in the people of South Africa. Throughout the entire movie, the language used is English, though the Indians have a light variation. It is believable because India was a British colony at the time. That is the foundation under which India is totally powered and the Indian people ultimately controlled. The trouble enters Gandhi's life on a train ride to Africa, where he is told that he is not permitted to be sitting first class. Although he has a ticket to be there, the Englishmen suggest he do as they instruct. The problem is that Mohandas does not recognize the difference, but with the Englishmen, all they see is the variation in skin tone and throw him off the train. It is here where Mohandas realizes what he must do. Gandhi believes that all people are children under God, for he was Muslim, Hindu, and Christian, and it should not matter how one worships God.
