Mohandas Gandhi was born in 1869, in India. He got married when he was 13 years old. He had 4 sons. He went to London to have Legal Education in 1887. He couldn't get used to this different culture. Gandhi completed his education and turned back to his country in 1891.
He got a job in a company in South Africa. He reached social consciousness in this country. He saw that African people don't have any justice here. He supported people and he had many experiences in South Africa. These experiences showed him the problems of India. He started to fight racial discrimination.
Gandhi and his friends established Africa Indian Convention in 1894. They launched a campaign to solve problems about health, education, cleanliness..
Zulu Rebellion started in 1906. Gandhi wanted to help people and he wrote a letter to governer. It was accepted and Gandhi started to heal people.
In many situations, he was always contentious. He helped people and he didn't accept racial segregation.
His wife, Kasturbai, always supported him. But she was a prisoner and she died in a prison in 1944.
When people talk about Gandhi, the first thing they remember is fasting. Because he fasted for a long time. He wanted to change laws and he tried this way. It was effective.
When he was 79 years old, a young man shot at him and he died.
