Gandhi fasting in support of Untouchables, 1932. Mohondas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948), known as Mahatma (Great Soul), Indian Nationalist leader. Gandhi, as a pacifist, used fasting and civil disobedience to bring pressure on the British colonial government. Here he is fasting in protest against the British government's proposal to segregate India's Untouchables, even to the extent of allotting them different electorates. Not all the Indian castes agreed with his protest. Cartoon from Punch. (London, 28 September 1932).
