| Summary: | This paper is a study on the non-violent movement led by Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr, in India and the United States, wherein racial discrimination was prevalent. The socio-economic conditions has influence the Indians and African Americans to conduct a non-violent movement to protest against the unjust laws of the white people. The Indians and African Americans made significant contributions towards the abolition of social injustice which were practised by white men before the freedom of India and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. However, the Indians and African Americans did a lot of sacrifice to solve their problems of injustices such as poverty, poor working conditions, and low wages.
This paper is in response to this felt need to identify the historic roots of discrimination and to identify the role of Gandhi And Luther in leading their people to freedom and independence from racial discrimination. Its main thrust is to document the political and socio-economic conditions in the process of interpreting history and solving the problems of the world today. |
