How much do you know about India? Well in the 1890s a movement begun called, “Servants of God” or the Khudai Khidmatgar which was founded by Abdul Ghaffar Khan in the Northwest Frontier Province of colonial India. He advocated throughout his life nonviolent social and political reforms based on Islamic Principles. Even with this inspiration of peace, India still fell a victim to the Amritsar Massacre in 1919, where British troops killed hundreds of innocent Indian Civilians for Ignoring a British Law that banned public meetings. Indians were not the only victims of the british justice system, for some time since the scramble for africa the the 53 countries had been living with some sort of separation that is why they then came together to form the African Union. A federation of these 53 african countries that worked together to deal with social, political, economic, and military problems in Africa. With this came the African National Congress which was a South African political party. This party got established in the 1912 by elite Africans who sought to win full acceptance in colonial society; it only gradually became a popular movement that came to control the government in 1994. Along with these african alliances came the abolishment of Apartheid in 1989 which was a policy of strict racial separation in south africa. Which was a problem near the Boers aka Afrikaners, which was a sector of the white population of South Africa that was descended from early Dutch Settlers. South Africa was also the home of the movement that fought to foster pride, unity, and political awareness among the country's African Majority and often resorted to violent protest against the white minority rule which was then known as the Black Consciousness Movement.
