Gandhi je 1893. izbačen sa južnoafričkog vlaka jer kao Indijac nije mogao putovati u prvom razredu. Tada je shvatio kako su zakoni protiv Indijaca te je odlučio pokrenuti nenasilnu protestnu kampanju za prava Indijaca u Južnoj Africi. Nakon mnogobrojnih uhićenja i neželjene svjetske pažnje, vlada je napokon popustila u priznavanju prava za Indijce no ne i za domorodačko crnačko stanovništvo Južne Afrike.

Pristao je i pokrenuo nenasilnu kampanju nevjerojatnih razmjera, koordinirajući milijune Indijaca diljem zemlje.
