Answer:

Opium (or poppy tears, scientific name: Lachryma papaveris) is dried latex obtained from the seed capsules of the opium poppy Papaver somniferum. Approximately 12 percent of opium is made up of the analgesic alkaloid morphine, which is processed chemically to produce heroin and other synthetic opioids for medicinal use and for the illegal drug trade.

Describe gandhi’s experiences and actions in south africa.
Nata [24]

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.
