During his time in South Africa, Mahatma Gandhi fought against several discriminatory laws that targeted the Indian community, including the 1913 Native Labour Regulation Act and the 1906 Asiatic Registration Act. The latter required Indians to register and carry passes, which Gandhi vehemently opposed, leading to his activism and the formation of the satyagraha movement. His efforts contributed to raising awareness about racial injustices and motivated broader civil rights movements in South Africa. Ultimately, his campaigns influenced future legislation aimed at reducing racial discrimination.

Did Mahatma Gandhi face any obstacles during his life?
Gandhi was a man who faced many challenges that he tried to overcome. He tried to look on the good side of the situation, and to remain optimistic. One challenge that made a big difference in Gandhi's view of South African whites was when he was living in South Africa. Gandhi went to South Africa. Gandhi went to South Africa to practice law, and he did earn a lot of money from this, but he was treated very unfairly while he was there. South Asians were called 'coolies' by the South African whites, meaning that they were thought to be untouchable by people of higher standing people. Gandhi faced many people who were prejudiced, and were disgusted by the Indians. These unfair things helped Gandhi realize that being fair and peaceful was what the government should be about and do, & that India needed to be free from British and whites' rule.

Mahatma Gandhi was strictly nonviolent, whereas Mandela headed the BT at one point (a terrorist organization). Mandela did move towards compromise at a later point with the South African Government, but he was not as absolute as Gandhi on the issue of nonviolence. The similarity in both cases was that they were key to changes in government.
