Pilgrimage to Gandhi’s South Africa
URL: http://www.tribuneindia.com/2006/20061015/spectrum/main1.htm

Description:
This 2006 article describes a tour through areas of importance to Mahatma Gandhi's time in South Africa (1893-1914). "It was in South Africa that the seeds of Mahatma Gandhi's Satyagraha, the potent weapon of non-violent resistance that helped to overthrow the British, were sown. After he was kicked out of a train compartment reserved for whites in Pietermaritzburg, Gandhi resolved to fight injustice." From the Tribune, an Indian newspaper.
