One of the famous people who fought violence in peace is Mahatma Gandhi, who was the father of India's independence and non-violent rebel movements initiator.
In 1893 he went in South Africa, where he remains for 21 years. Here is faced with a terrible reality, thousands of Indian immigrants are victims of racial segregation, which leads him to engage in the struggle against British rule.
South African government admits the adoption of reforms for Indian workers. In 1906, Gandhi fought for recognition of rights of its compatriots.
He is arrested and, after a trial, is sentenced to several months in prison. Just released, continue to work, is again arrested, then released, part of the London Conference on Indian problem, demanding the independence of his country. British authorities arrested him with his wife and 50,000 other Indian militants.
Gandhi's moderate attitude on the issue split the country has caused hatred of Hindu fanatic who assassinated him on January 30, 1948, during a religious ceremony.
Besides he was faced with many bad situations, he continued to fight against violence, the result being very simple: if you fight for something that you care, you are going to realize it, for sure.
