What role did nelson Mandela play in fighting against the system of apartheid?
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was a young man of 24 when he arrived in South Africa in 1893. After refusing to move from the first class to a third class coach he was thrown of the train because of his skin color because white people could only sit in the first class seats. What Gandhi had found was a cause that he could dedicate himself to equality and freedom, also he held a protest against violence. Gandhi fought against the British using non violence. Gandhi won freedom for Africa.
He suffered other problems on the journey as well (because of the color of his skin), including not being allowed in many hotels and pubs.
Compare Martin Luther King jr and Nelson Mandela?
My opinion--- For one, I think Nelson Mandela's speech was a lot more motivating than Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke about HIS dreams. He talked about what he saw in his dreams and how he wanted the people to dream about the same thing. Nelson Mandela on the other hand, spoke to the people about what everyone should do. For some reason it seems as though Mandela's speech is more commanding. Or if you want to say more drilling. It, to me, seems that the way he spoke in his speech, would make me want to listen to what he said, and put his words into actions.
How did Gandhi's religion beliefs affect his actions?
Faith gains in strength only when people are willing to lay down their lives for it. Faith is not like a delicate flower which would wither away. Robust faith in oneself and brave trust of the opponent, so-called or real, is the best safeguard. A living faith cannot be manufactured by the rule of [the] majority.
What Gandhi and Mandela have in common?
