Explanation

Tolstoy Farm was established by Mahatma Gandhi near Johannesburg, South Africa in 1910. Named after Russian writer Leo Tolstoy whose ideas on non-violence inspired him, Gandhi used this 1,100-acre settlement as a base for his satyagraha campaign. Families of satyagrahis lived there in self-sufficient communities, learning simple living and philosophical ideals. It became a model for his later ashrams in India.
