Answer:

During his visit to South Africa Gandhi experienced racial discrimination first hand and rather than run away he stayed back  for 21 years and used his non violent policy to fight the rights of Indians in South Africa.

Explanation:

Even though he was traveling on first class ticket in train during his visit to South Africa, Gandahi was thrown out of train by the authorities at the instigation of white man. He saw how helpless his people were in the hands of the British. He returned to India and enlisted the support of some people and finally moved to South African with his family to fight the perceived ills. He was threatened, imprisoned many times. His actions paid off when the British, out of Ghandhi's constant pressure, abandoned the project of disenfranchising Indians in South Africa. He trained and encouraged many Indians on non-violet Satyagraha { peaceful restrain}. He organised many peaceful protest and before long he was seen as the Messiah of Indians Living in South Africa.

Despite all tribulation and imprisonment he came out the darling of all even to the admiration to their British Lords.

Answer:

Gandhi was the most prominent leader of the Indian Independence Movement against the British Raj, for which he practiced non-violent civil disobedience, as well as an Indian Hindu pacifist, politician, thinker and lawyer

Explanation:

From 1919 Gandhi openly belonged to the front of the Indian nationalist movement.

He instituted novel methods of social struggle such as the hunger strike and in his programs he rejected armed struggle and carried out a preaching of the ahimsa (non-violence) as a means of resisting British rule. He defended and widely promoted total fidelity to the dictates of conscience, even going as far as civil disobedience if necessary; Furthermore, he advocated a return to the old Hindu traditions. He corresponded with León Tolstoy, who influenced his concept of nonviolent resistance. He was the inspirer of the salt march, a demonstration across the country against the taxes to which this product was subject.

Imprisoned repeatedly, he soon became a national hero. In 1931 he participated in the London Conference, where he claimed the independence of India. He leaned in favor of the right of the Congress party and had conflicts with his disciple Nehru, who represented the left. In 1942 London sent Richard Stafford Cripps as an intermediary to negotiate with the nationalists, but when no satisfactory solution was found, they radicalized their positions. Gandhi and his wife Kasturba were deprived of their liberty and placed under house arrest at the Palace of the Aga Khan, where she died in 1944,2 while he was fasting for twenty-one days.

From prehistory to 2000AD, human population growth can best be described as
xeze [42]

Answer:

increasing

Explanation:

Since the prehistory and up until the present, the human population has constantly increased. The increase of the population though has not been always the same, with the earlier periods having much slower increase, while the rapid growth occurs only few centuries ago. The reasons for this difference in the population growth is that up until relatively recently, the humans didn't had proper medical treatment, they were constantly in war, the living conditions were very bad, and the humans were still deeply connected with the nature, thus every larger animal possessed a death threat. As the humans have developed, the living conditions have become much better, the medicine has helped in curing and prevention of diseases, and the humans have also isolated themselves from the nature, resulting in much higher life expectancy, better life quality, and much less infant deaths.
