Mr Gandhi! Come in
I hope you had a pleasant journey
Hardly pleasant, Mr Baker.
- Please take a seat
I can't find a single hotel
that will take me in
I'm afraid there's a fearful amount
I may be able to find you lodgings
But I'm afraid they may not be
upto your standards
I know a poor widow who will take
you in, because she needs the money
Should we go and take a look?
So when do I start work, Mr Baker?
- Oh yes
It's a pity we won't be able
to use you as a barrister
But you can assist me in communicating
with Mr Abdullah...
that will make things easier
Are you a Mohammedan like Mr Abdullah?
- No. A Hindu
I'm afraid I don't know much about
my own religion and even less so others
I'm keen though to make a study
of all religions
Good, good
Some of us meet everyday in the church
at one o'clock to pray together
Perhaps you'd like to join us.
- Yes
Let us pray
O gracious and most merciful Lord...
we pray that You will show the
true path to the new brother...
who has come amongst us
And grant him, O Lord,
the peace that Thou has shown us
And may the Lord Jesus Christ, who
died upon the cross to redeem us...
from our sins and to save us
from damnation, save him also
And all this, we pray in the name
of our Lord Jesus Christ and Saviour
Amen.
- Amen
What is that you are wearing
around your neck, Mr Gandhi?
Is it some kind of talisman?
- Oh, that is from my Mother
Is it of religious significance?
- Yes, in a way
Superstition. You shouldn't be wearing
charms around your neck, Mr Gandhi
Why don't you take it off?
- It will wear away with time
All this binds you to superstition
and ignorance
You should free yourself
from it, Mr Gandhi...
and come to Christ.
- If I am called, I will
God bless you
Hey you! Where do you think
you are going, you coolie?
This is the house of president Krueger.
No coolie is allowed on the pavement
What do you think you are doing,
pushing him off like that?
I told him this was the house
of President Krueger, sir
No coolie is allowed on this pavement.
- Are you all right, Mr Gandhi?
Yes
Do you know who this is?
This man is a barrister
A man of a very high status
Such men should be taught a lesson.
Why don't you take him to court?
I will be glad to testify.
- No, I don't wish to charge him
He is only following orders.
All coloured men are the same type
Did you hear that?
- Sorry sir, I was only doing my duty
That was a very
Christian act, Mr Gandhi
Is forgiveness a
Christian monopoly, Mr Baker?
Salaam, Tayab Seth
Who are you, young man?
- I'm Mohandas Gandhi
I'm working on Seth Abdullah's case
