Mohandas Gandhi was one of the few men in history to fight simultaneously on moral, religious, political, social, economic, and cultural fronts. His life and thought has had an enormous impact on the Indian nation, and he continues to be honored around the world. In the movie, it started when Gandhi was kicked off a first-class coach for being Indian. He never heard of such injustice in a country. This eventually began Gandhi's career as a peacemaker for all of India and the world.
             At the beginning, a rude awakening comes with the arrival of the guard, who tosses Gandhi at the very next station. Shocked beyond words by such injustice, Gandhi feels that he has no choice but to protest. Gandhi then begins to form contacts within the Indian worker minority. He later brings together Indians around the area to a public speech. At the speech, he takes about the injustice caused by the British. He eventually burns his identity card along with some others before he is arrested and taken to prison. Gandhi is motivated by religious means and believes that everyone is equal in God's eyes. He gets involved in several movements for equality and stresses non-violence very strongly. The Indians are very mad because British rule continues to limit their rights.
             A turning point on the Indian fight for independence was the western press. Reporters witnessed a scene in which Indians tried to get into a factory row by row, and were brutally beaten by soldiers, row by row, as the women pulled the dead and injured away. Also, a reporter for Time magazine met Gandhi when he was in jail, took a lot of pictures of him, and made his plight known to the world. Finally, Gandhi travels to Europe to negotiate India's freedom. Afterwards, India does gain their freedom. However, Gandhi was yet to know that his assassination was to come the next year.
