The Making of the Mahatma

Gandhi's 1893 trip to South Africa, initially to settle a case for a wealthy Indian, instead became a 21-year odyssey during which he became deeply embroiled in the local fight for independence.

Two Indian cousins living in Britain seek the help of a barrister to resolve their dispute, but he faces discrimination and abuse from the British authorities, despite being a well-educated and dressed professional.
