GANDHI
Gandhi (1869-1948), was a Thinker, lawyer and politician indian man.
Was born in Porbandar, India in 1869. He also known as Mahatma Gandhi. Mahatma mean: “Big soul”.
He gotmarried when he was 13 years old with Katsurba and they got 4 children.
He was educated in law at University College, London. Then he returned to India to work as a lawyer in Bombay, without muchsuccess.
Two years later an Indian firm with interests in South Africa hired him. In that moment, Suth Africa was controlated by Britains.

He started to struggle (luchar) for elementary rightsfor Indians.
He was imprisioned a lot of time for his activities pro-indians rights.
In 1904 he brought out (public) a weekly newspaper, called “Indian Opinion”, which treated the problems of Indiansin South Africa. This newspaper not included advertising (publicidad), so Gandhi spent much of his money to maintain it.
