One of the major thing for which Mahatma Gandhi fought all through his life was the fact that he considered every single person as the same and according to him there is absolutely no reason why anyone should be discriminated on the basis of this. And so while he was in South Africa or in India he fought against it. He treated every single person with same attitude and that is something which is incredible.

Right in the year 1920, when Mahatma Gandhi left the Indian National Congress and was fighting for India’s freedom struggle with some of his trusted people and his newly launched Swaraj Party, he started the Non Cooperation movement in which the people were involved in a large scale. They just started not to cooperate in every little thing which was done under the guidance of the British authorities and forced them to think about their future stay in the country. He called off his non-cooperation movement when Chauri Chaura incident took place as it was against its principles.

In the year 1930, Mahatma Gandhi started a new movement with the aim to throw the Britishers out of the country and save the people from the clutches of the ruthless Britishers.

Although his ideas were rejected by many fellow leaders and that became the reason why he left INC and formed a new party named as Swaraj Party.

3. Follower of Non Violence

Mahatma Gandhi was the true follower of the non-violence and he believed that there was absolutely no need of violence in getting the things done as per the need. He believed that the same things can be done even you follow the non-violence approach. Although the path of the non-violence is something in which there will be more struggle and efforts but then it is far more beneficial as it does not involve any loss of human life, which is the most important thing. He believed there is no such thing which can’t be obtained while following the foot step on the roads of non-violence.

2. Started Civil Rights Movement in South Africa

When Mahatma Gandhi went to the South Africa to practice law, he was very much disappointed by the attitude that people had for the people belonging to certain section of the society.
