註釋While petitioning for the rights of Indians in Transvaal, Gandhi and his fellow petitioners did not want to overthrow, or even challenge, the European rule. After all, they only wanted the safeguarding of existing and previously guaranteed rights of residence, trade and travel for Indians. To this effect, Gandhi would even travel to England again, fighting for his fellow immigrant countrymen. However, it was evident that things were no longer as peaceful as they once were, and that the Europeans were losing patience. Gandhi: A Lobbyist in London by Ramachandra Guha is a revelation of Gandhi's efforts and determination to fight for his people, being an immigrant in a foreign land himself.
