Only one Man.
Here we have the story of one man, once again it doesn't pay to underustimate what one man can achieve if he is truly driven and determined to do so.
Gandhi was someone dedicated to peace and rights for Indians through peaceful actions. He was recognised In 1893, when the young Gandhi is thrown off a train (first class seat) in South Africa just because he was Indian. This prompts him to begin his campaign for the rights of Indians in South Africa. After a while the South African government grants some rights to Indians.
As a result of the success of his campaign he is asked to return to India in order to remove the British and allow Indians to rule India. His non violent movement causes international pressure to mount against the British. The British however don't do anything quickly, and it is only after the end of the second world war that India is granted independence. This was many years after the campaign began, various protests, and visits to England.
Now that they are free from British rule, they are free to return to their own internal differences and disputes. So much for uniting the country. The biggest difference is of course religion, Muslim vs Hindu. Hence Pakistan is created, against Gandhi's beliefs. The underlying thinking in creating Pakistan essential came down to segregation, keeps the Muslims separate from the Hindus, haven't we been here before?
Violence of course breaks out, anyone surprised? Gandhi does what he can and goes on a hunger strike until the fighting ends. Which is does, eventually, sort of. But not everyone wants peace, it's too much hard work, Gandhi was assassinated because of this.
Ben Kingsley gives one of his best performances as Gandhi, and received an Academy award for it. This is an inspirational movie and unlike a Hollywood movie (Gandhi would have lived), it is based on the life of one man.
