In 1908, Mahatma Gandhi was in Johannesburg, South Africa, where he was actively organizing the Indian community against discriminatory laws. He was particularly focused on opposing the Asiatic Registration Act, which required Indians to register and carry identification documents. During this time, Gandhi also founded the Phoenix Settlement, a cooperative community aimed at promoting self-sufficiency and social reform. His efforts in South Africa laid the groundwork for his future civil rights activism in India.
