He was born on October 2,1869 in India.After university，he went to London to train as a lawyer.He returned to India in 1891 and in 1893 accepted a job at an Indian law firm in Durban，South Africa.Gandhi was appalled at the treatment of Indian immigrants there，and joined the struggle to get basic rights for them.During his 20 years in South Africa he was sent to prison many times.Influenced mainly by Hinduism，but also by writers including Tolstoy and Thoreau，Gandhi developed the “satyagraha”(devotion to truth)，a new non­violent way to correct wrongs.In 1914，the South African government accepted many of Gandhi's demands.

　　Gandhi returned to India shortly afterwards.By 1920，Gandhi was an important figure in Indian politics.He changed the Indian National Congress Agenda，and his program of peaceful non­cooperation with the British which included boycotts(抵制)of British goods，led to the arrests of thousands of people.

　　In 1922，Gandhi himself was sentenced to six years' imprisonment.He was set free after two years and withdrew from politics and devoted himself to trying to improve Hind­Muslim relations，which had worsened.

　　In 1931，Gandhi attended the Round Table Conference in London，as the only representative of the Indian National Congress，but he resigned from the party in 1934 to protest its use of violence as a political tool.He was replaced as leader by Jawaharlal Nehru.
