The movie starts of with Ghandi getting thrown out of the train because he would not move to third class. Later in the movie, Gandhi realizes that British laws were bias against Indians and decides to start a non-violent protest campaign for the rights of all Indians in South Africa.
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 ( Bangladesh) will become a new country called Pakistan. It is hoped that by encouraging the Muslims to live in a separate country, violence will come yo an end. 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.
