The film begins with a grand funeral for Gandhiplayedin India , and then goes back to 1893, when the young lawyer Gandhi was only 24 years old and had received four years of higher education in the UK. He accepted a lawsuit in South Africa, was sitting in the first-class carriage of a train, but was driven out because of his skin color. This was the first time Gandhi had tasted the insult of racial discrimination in his life. From then on, he determined to devote himself to the struggle for equal rights for the 800,000 Indian diaspora living in South Africa. He led the Indians to hold demonstrations and set up one of the first organizations to fight for civil rights among Indians in South Africa. After he returned to India, he actively participated in the struggle to get rid of British colonial rule and fight for independence and autonomy.
In the end, Gandhi's uncooperativeism and non-violent struggle finally made the British colonial rulers hand over power, and India officially became independent in January 1948. While the entire Indian nation was celebrating the independence event with joy, Gandhi did not attend the celebration and was worried because he saw the contradictions within the Indian National Congress party and the struggles between Indian sects have intensified. Four days after India's independence, Gandhi was assassinated.
