intricacies of the English language, took lessons in Western-style dance,

his new manners, he travelled to England, studied law at University College

bedecked in suit and tie, was thrown off a train in the British colony of
South Africa for insisting on travelling first class instead of settling for
third class, where "colored" men like him were supposed to ride.
His name was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. | h***n
