Gandhi’s disagreement with the way that people in South Africa treated the people from India compelled him to begin protesting against this injustice. He immediately began to realize how he, among all other Indian men and women, was the only one that thought about fighting back. Gandhi called this non-violent method passive resistance. This method allowed the people of India that were brave enough to fight back to express their hatred about an injustice that clearly affected them. On one occasion, Gandhi was severely beaten while trying to burn government papers in front of a crowd of Indians and government officials, however, he continued to throw the papers in the fire as the official hit him even though Gandhi was not resisting
