. He, along with all the other black people, was subjected to unbridled discrimination.
He was once asked to move out of the first class on a train despite having a valid ticket based exclusively on his color, and on another occasion he was asked to take off his turban. He rejected both times.
These incidents angered him and ignited his spirit to fight for social justice. Although his original work contract with Dada Abdulla & Co. was only for one year, he extended his stay in the country to fight for the rights of people of Indian descent.
Mohandas Gandhi had earned the reputation of a daring civil rights activist in South Africa. Gopal Krishna Gokhale, a senior executive of the Indian National Congress, asked Gandhi to return to India and join the others in the Indian struggle for freedom.
Gandhi returned to India in 1915. He joined the Indian National Congress and in 1920 he established himself as a dominant figure in the Indian political scene. He was a strict supporter of the principle of nonviolence and believed that measures of nonviolent civil disobedience were the best means to protest against British rule.
He invited all the Indians to unite as one regardless of the divisions of religion, caste and creed in the country's struggle for independence. He supported the lack of cooperation with the British domination, which included a boycott of British products in favor of products manufactured in India. He also called for a boycott of British educational institutions and led the Indians to renounce government employment.
In the late 1920s, the British government appointed a new constitutional commission for reform under the direction of Sir John Simon, but did not include any Indians as members. This angered Gandhi, who in December 1928 pushed a resolution to the Calcutta Congress asking the British government to grant him the status of Indian domination or face another campaign of non-cooperation aimed at achieving full independence of the country.
The British did not respond, so the Indian National Congress decided to declare the independence of India, Purna Swaraj. On December 31, 1929, the flag of India was unfolded during the Lahore session of the Indian National Congress and India's independence was declared
