Gandhi
In 1893, Gandhi is thrown off a South African train for being an Indian and traveling in a first class compartment. Gandhi realizes that the laws are biased against Indians and decides to start a non-violent protest campaign for the rights of all Indians in South Africa. After numerous arrests and the unwanted attention of the world, the government finally relents by recognizing rights for Indians, though not for the native blacks of South Africa. After this victory, Gandhi is invited back to India, where he is now considered something of a national hero. He is urged to take up the fight for India's independence from the British Empire. Gandhi agrees, and mounts a non-violent non-cooperation campaign of unprecedented scale, coordinating millions of Indians nationwide. There are some setbacks, such as violence against the protesters and Gandhi's occasional imprisonment. Nevertheless, the campaign generates great attention, and Britain faces intense public pressure. Too weak from World War II to continue enforcing its will in India, Britain finally grants India's independence. Indians celebrate this victory, but their troubles are far from over. Religious tensions between Hindus and Muslims erupt into nation-wide violence. Gandhi declares a hunger strike, saying he will not eat until the fighting stops. The fighting does stop eventually, but the country is divided. It is decided that the northwest area of India, and eastern part of India (current day Bangladesh), both places where Muslims are in the majority, will become a new country called Pakistan (West and East Pakistan respectively). It is hoped that by encouraging the Muslims to live in a separate country, violence will abate. Gandhi is opposed to the idea, and is even willing to allow Muhammad Ali Jinnah to become the first prime minister of India, but the Partition of India is carried out nevertheless. Gandhi spends his last days trying to bring about peace between both nations. He thereby angers many dissidents on both sides, one of whom finally gets close enough to assassinate him.

We converted from an x.265 HEVC to H.264 as we find there is no efficiency to be gained
in the files we have so far converted as they seem to take up the same size, however H.264 finds
more compatibility perhaps at the present time and runs normally on equipped computers
while HEVC x.265 files need much more computing power than H.264 to run normally.
The mother of Gandhi is quoted in this interesting movie made by Mr. Richard Attenborough
as saying there are at least a couple of forms of slavery (to this very day perhaps0 which
exist in India with broad support - the slavery of womenfolk, and that of the so-called
"untouchables". (Based on their ownideas of a cste system). I'm given to understand that
fairer skinned people (previous aryans from the north who might have come from Europe
and Persia) are considered superior perhaps if they have fair skin.
Surprisingly Ben Kingley's character (Mahatma Gandhi - British schooled Indian leader)
finds it unacceptable when he boards a train in White south Africa and proceeds to
occupy a seat in the first class section. He is thrown off the train of course. White
South Africans had their own ideas in force at the time based on race and related
cultural and ideological leanings and related loyalties and what have you.
Gandhi goes on to see the British kicked out of India, among other of his achievements
putting British textile workers out of employment by refusing to purchase their honestly
made and offered goods.
Ultimately, The British (as is evident in the displays by the character of the man "Azaiz'
in "A passage to India" - 1984 - a movie we just posted for you here additionally) do
not like the sort of reactions they seem to find when in their own minds reaching
out to a populace which is set in their own ways of relating and expression, and
mindset on matters that are as Gandhi points out, an ancient civilization making
itself known in asserted manner as rejecting what they cannot become instead
to please others who are there to lend a hand and offer friendship which isn't of
their own idea of a "good enough way to exist instead". They seem to get long just
fine without the British they find, in their own view of the matters at hand.
Thanks for seeding
