Explanation

Gandhi traveled to South Africa in 1893 to serve as a legal representative for a merchant firm named Dada Abdulla and Co. Although he initially intended to stay for only a year to handle the case, his experiences with racial discrimination led him to stay for over two decades. This period was crucial in developing his philosophy of non-violent resistance.
