Passive Resistance in the Transvaal (1906) |
 |
| The
British made the Transvaal a self-governing colony at the end of 1906
and the Government headed by Gen Botha and Gen Smuts tried to push
through legislation to curb the entry of Indians and other Asians into
the State. Gandhi organised the Passive Resistance Association, and
against this elephant blocking its path the Government steamroller found
it could not make headway. |
