He said that the Indian people called Gandhiji as 'Mahatma', meaning Great Soul. At the time the British controlled South Africa.
When he attempted to claim his rights as a British subject he was abused, and soon saw that all Indians suffered similar treatment.
Gandhi stayed in South Africa for 21 years working to secure rights for Indian people. He developed a method of action based upon the principles of courage, nonviolence and truth called Satyagraha. He believed that the way people behave is more important than what they achieve. Satyagraha promoted nonviolence and civil disobedience as the most appropriate methods for obtaining political and social goals. In 1915, Gandhi returned to India. Within 15 years he became the leader of the Indian nationalist movement.
