SALTY EYEZ back in the day , Indians in South Africa were considered 'colored' too and faced discrimination. They were hence required to register with the government and carry their passes with them at all times. Burning it was a form of protest against this treatment , which was illegal. So he hit him
All Indian laborers working in South Africa at the time (I think it was the late 1800s) were required to carry a pass that said they were foreigners & were allowed to work. Gandhi formed a small group that protested the branding of Indians by the Afrikaans govt that ruled So Africa. The guard was hitting him for destroying the passes which, like he says, are govt property. It was an offense that carried jail time but what was really going on was one culture trying to dominate another one. Gandhi was protesting non-violently by not rising up to beat the policeman himself, he was trying to prove that determination can win over violence.
_Pickles_ It is indeed! But too many in the world believe that inflicting pain will get them what they want. Gandhi tried to prove throughout his life that standing up to violence & not fighting back will lead to victory. It works, but takes a long damn time. Worked for the people of Montgomery, AL when they spent a year protesting bussing in that city.

"Strength does not come from physical capacity but rather an indomitable will." - Mohandas Karamchand (Mahatma - The Great Soul) Gandhi .... who for all of us Indians will forever lovingly be remembered simply as "Bapu" (father) 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thinking back what I can remember them teaching was that Gandhi was against all violence and wanted the racism and violence towards other cultures to be ended peacefully. So I suppose they did teach us about non-violent resistance.
will there be any other leader with such moral courage and "stubbornish" and undettered to his principles. when will we understand the greatness of this man?
Can we take a moment to appreciate the awesome acting from the man playing the officer in charge? The Officer was accustomed to being able to justify his actions by thinking “Well they started the fight, I’m just ending it.” But when faced by a man who refused to use violence to push his cause, and who would continue to defy him no matter how much he was beaten, he could no longer make such rationalizations in his mind. Years of military indoctrination meant to dehumanize his supposed enemies, fell away under the peaceful defiance as the officer realizes that he isn’t a gallant and honorable warrior, he is just beating a man who won’t fight back like a school yard bully. The blow to his sense of honor is evident on his face as Ghandi just keeps going. The mindless soldier “just following orders” melted away, and we saw the man underneath who can only meekly say “stop” in response. Now born more out of concern for the man he was beating rather than a desire to end his defiance. The shock to his system briefly restored his humanity for a split second.
It's worth noting that Gandhi's methods worked very well for Martin Luther King in the US too. I'm not convinced that the American authorities were mentally incompetent either...
Gandhi revolutionized the world by defeating the greatest empire in the world, not by battling armies but from simple civil disobedience. Who would have thought the richest and powerful country that ruled the entire world for the past 150 years would be brought to heel by a simple Indian man wearing a loincloth. We can use his teachings today to defeat armies without firing a shot!
@@derekrulez390527 he didn't "defeat" the greatest empire. Britain was in debt, and suffering, Gandhi just took the chance to make the British leave. The British couldn't stay in India, they were outnumbered.
You think the British weren't capable of genocide? They tried. So have Americans. Gandhi didn't commit the mistake so many of us make. He refused to dehumanize the enemy which cuts off your ability to know and understand your enemy. Gandhi refused to see the British as monsters. The Nazis weren't "monsters." They were human beings, our next door neighbors, and capable of all things human. They were US. To appeal to your enemy, you must know them as they TRULY are in every way.
During the Boer War the British used concentration camps against Dutch and indigenous people, annihilating not just cultural elements of the Republic of the Transvaal and Orange Free State, but the people who lived there. Funny enough, Gandhi is when the terror settled down a bit. South Africa is a situation where the people of the UK were blind to the horrors resulting from corruption and the abuse of power abroad.
Much as I would like the Empire to have continued, I wish it had treated everyone fairly and equally. "Citizenship of the Empire" is something which should have been respected.
I'm trying to remember if it was this protest or another where Gandhi is being released from prison and basically says, "Hey, can I get a buck for cabfare home?" And the warden doesn't have it and has to borrow it from a guard 😂 That takes some real balls 😂
It was a matter of shaming your oppressors. The British (not just English) were not mentally incompetent. They were capable of shame and had a sense of honour. Gandhi's methods revealed their own dishonourable conduct to them. Gandhi insisted that German Jews could achieve similar feats using his methods. It is not the Nazis mental competency that makes him mistaken. but rather the cruel and cold-hearted ruthlessness of the Nazi regime that would not recognise genocide as shameful.
If people whose minds have not inclined to warriorhood over many thousands of lifetimes are forced to experience such pain, which they are not trained to bear without corruption but manage to do so nonetheless, just to be free to walk the streets without harassment. Then it can be certain people whose minds have inclined to warriorhood over many thousands of lifetimes, who are *supposed* to bear pain to the utmost extreme without corruption, have completely failed in their noble warrior duty to defend righteousness.
Right method to protest in a democratic country. Such methods should be used in present day India as well. Though, free from british, but is still injustice in society. Strong oppresses weak. Law enforcement is not free from bias and unfairness.
I was among the Pro Palestine protesters in Philly. Every Saturday, we have this rally in NJ. Last week we went on the consumer strike against the system.
+JRFrancisco20088 If he had emptied the entire case into the fire, he would have become a coward....He wanted to protest...and this was the right way...The objective was not just to empty the case into fire and game over attitude....
@MIvarsson99 That would be a betrayal of everything Gandhi stood for, and an insult to the thousands who suffered and died for the cause of freedom in South Africa and India.
This is actually in the Transvaal Colony as the Union of South Africa hadn't yet been created. Although Transvaal had been incorporated into the British Empire by force in 1902 (a war in which Gandhi volunteered as a stretcher-bearer on the British side), its government at the time was run by a Boer nationalist party. So while this might appear as Gandhi vs the British Empire, it's actually Gandhi vs a Boer government and boer police force which really really did not want to be a part of the British Empire. Gandhi was actually very pro-empire at this time.
This is a British film... The British recognise the wrongs of their past and evolve... They have recently said goodby to their first British Indian Prime Minister...
The one thing I always took from this is that you can beat up anyone in the world that puts their hands on you but in the end it doesn't change a damn thing just because beating them up will not stop them from doing whatever they do to you. Gandhi was not scared but , he was a pacifist. It takes more strength to hold back and restrain than it does to let all of it out. I learned that one day when I was in High School and this boy sitting next to me for I forget what reason I almost snapped his arm and he got up fast and got in my face and gave me a cold death stare. Was I intimidated? No , I was not but it took strength to hold his fist back that is what real toughness is. After I saw that from him I realized. I was wrong for doing that and never did that again. All that time I had been doing the same thing standing my ground while not throwing a punch. A lot of people think violence makes you tough , it makes you strong all violence does is just make shit a lot bigger than it already is.
Pacifism is not strength in every scenario. Are you going to do nothing when they kill your children? Your parents? That is what happened in the Amritsar Massacre. That is not strength, that is weakness.
Admittedly one of several reasons I bought this classic on DVD. After growing up with TOD I wanted to see Amrish playing a good guy, hence why I've seen his dialogues more than others in this film. 2:06 - 'Mola Ram' arrested and taken away by Rimmer of Red Dwarf :-)
@Myles0Harcourt Towards the end, it pretty much did, that partly orchestrated its downfall. What's the logic behind having an Empire without a significant profit at the expense of the colony in question? Mutual interest is much easier said than done, and is better presented in the workings of the Commonwealth.
@Sharon Cato If he was racist against Africans, he would have never taken up cause in South Africa nor would he have praised all the South African leaders and the natives of Africa. Mandela himself has acknowledged Gandhi's insensitivities towards the blacks of South Africa but Gandhi was only 23 back then and did not know any better. He changed when he became MAHATMA Gandhi from Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. He wasn't racist. He just had very little knowledge of the blacks. He later became accepting and a humanist. Younger Gandhi was not racist. Up until he became Mahatma, he was only a product of the times.
What I don't get is that there were less than half a dozen cops there, armed with only batons..... How the hell did they stop what looks like at least 30 protestors?

@MIvarsson99 That's quite a bit of convoluted logic and hypothetical nonsense for just one paragraph. The fact is that Gandhi DID exist, and overcame the most powerful nation on Earth through the use of peaceful civil disobedience. Therefore, to have enacted violence against a British soldier WOULD have been a betrayal to Gandhi's philosophy. And people dying in the name of war instead of peace? What the hell does that even mean? You PREFER war and death to nonviolent noncooperation??

So, I've just read Louis Fischer's biography of Gandhi, and as far as I can tell, this scene is entirely fictitious. Gandhi was rounded up and jailed with a number of Indians who refused to register, but there was no dramatic moment of him burning registration cards. Fischer records an incident on August 16, 1908, in which the Indian community did hold a demonstration and burn a number of registration cards, but Gandhi was not there, and there was no confrontation with the policemen. Throughout the entirety of Fischer's biography, there is no scene in which Gandhi is beaten by policemen as depicted in the movie above. Gandhi was beaten by various mobs while in South Africa (once by the white settlers, and once by other Indians who were angry at him for compromising with the government), but Fischer never records Gandhi being assaulted by British police as in the movie. Someone correct me if I'm wrong
Non-violence worked because Gandhi was fighting against the British Empire. I don't think Hitler would have cared; he would simply have killed everyone, as he did to the Jews. Non-violence is effective when the opponent is not a monster and is somewhat reasonable, but it does not work against monsters.
@pacificprospector I accept that they were both valid and important protests, but there are key differences. The truckers weren't beaten for trying to burn ID cards. (Though I have heard that they had their accounts frozen. Governments are learning to take actions that are less public and dramatic to punish dissenting voices.)
@@Fatpie42 There was police violence, incarcerations along with persecutions. There is/was video evidence of this on various video platforms. The patterns of governments don't change that much when their authority is being questioned. The fact that there was independent recordings maybe had an effect of causing the police using some restraint. So the "beatings" did occur in Ottawa and much like the S.A. authorities, the Canadian government along with its government funded news services, made efforts to denigrate the protesters. Little if any of the evidence would have been displayed on mainstream news services to show this.
Can someone tell me why the guard was trying to hit Gandhi when he threw the passes in the fire?

1) I said it in reply to the same thing from an American (thegreatmanofalltime 3 months ago)
2) I don't see what language has to do with it. We both speak English.
3) I am not the #1 offender in the US. I have never committed any sort of crime there.
what is this?
You serious? Who hasn’t heard of Gandhi?

Rather strange behaviour, for a non-violent man.
So, I've just read Louis Fischer's biography of Gandhi, and as far as I can tell, this scene is entirely fictitious.
Gandhi was rounded up and jailed with a number of Indians who refused to register, but there was no dramatic moment of him burning registration cards.
Fischer records an incident on August 16, 1908, in which the Indian community did hold a demonstration and burn a number of registration cards, but Gandhi was not there, and there was no confrontation with the policemen.
Throughout the entirety of Fischer's biography, there is no scene in which Gandhi is beaten by policemen as depicted in the movie above. Gandhi was beaten by various mobs while in South Africa (once by the white settlers, and once by other Indians who were angry at him for compromising with the government), but Fischer never records Gandhi being assaulted by British police as in the movie.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong
It's a movie, genius.
dfcs that's great
May be Louis Fischer missed this part in his study of Gandhi's life.
and Louis Fischer was a soothsayer who could look into a crystal and figure out everything about a given man.
Non-violence worked because Gandhi was fighting against the British Empire. I don't think Hitler would have cared; he would simply have killed everyone, as he did to the Jews. Non-violence is effective when the opponent is not a monster and is somewhat reasonable, but it does not work against monsters.
South african whites are still the same if not worse
he look like nicoli tesla

What do you know? British colonialists and the Nazis then... US, Europe and Australia now. WAKE UP PPL.
Let’s not forget Israel. I’m so sick of the hypocrisy.
This reminds me of the truckers' protest in Ottawa Canada in February 2022. almost a 100 years later and governments have not changed.
@pacificprospector I accept that they were both valid and important protests, but there are key differences. The truckers weren't beaten for trying to burn ID cards. (Though I have heard that they had their accounts frozen. Governments are learning to take actions that are less public and dramatic to punish dissenting voices.)
@@Fatpie42 There was police violence, incarcerations along with persecutions. There is/was video evidence of this on various video platforms. The patterns of governments don't change that much when their authority is being questioned. The fact that there was independent recordings maybe had an effect of causing the police using some restraint. So the "beatings" did occur in Ottawa and much like the S.A. authorities, the Canadian government along with its government funded news services, made efforts to denigrate the protesters. Little if any of the evidence would have been displayed on mainstream news services to show this.
Imagine the smell.
Palestine's native Arabs tried this.
No vaccine passports..
