In 1892 Mohandas Gandhi left India for South Africa at the age of 23 - a shy, tongue - tied, average little man whose past was full of failure. Ten years later, called a saint even by those who opposed him, he was the leader of 100,000 people in one of the most remarkabe experiments in history: "satyagraha," a war without violence. He returned to India not as M. K. Gandhi but Mahatma, "Great Soul" - the man who was to free his country from foreign rule without firing a shot.
