By late nineteenth century, British were in South Africa trying to take over South Africa. White minority ruled the colored majority in Africa as well as India. Approximately sixty five thousands Indians lived in South Africa. Some Indians were bought to Africa as slaves, and others came as serfs. Colored majority were not given equal rights, especially to Indians. Mohandas Gandhi went to Africa to fight for Indians rights. Gandhi arrived in South Africa in Natal. He bought a first class ticket to travel around Africa. A white passenger complained to the person in charged of that compartment to get rid of colored man. Gandhi immediately refused to leave the train. At the next train station, Gandhi was thrown out of the train with no respect. It was a cold night, but poor Gandhi could not even ask for his luggage because British at the station were holding it. That night he shivered and asked himself a question. "Shall I fight for my rights or go back to India?" He did make a decision on it. He told himself that he would fight for his rights and the rights of other people. There are about sixty five thousands Indians living in South Africa. .
Indians were not allowed to vote. They could not even own a property. Around 1914 returned to India to fight for majority of Indians in India. British were ruling the entire country. They were very powerful in ruling India because of the kind of military they had, the kind of weapons they used against humans. As always British were never weak in using weapon against India. When British first came in the seventeenth century to trade spices and decided to conquer India.
