He decided to stay. It is in
Johannesburg, South Africa that his first civil disobedience
("Satyagraha") campaign was staged - not in India.
Gandhi's life was at peril many times. He was almost lynched in
Durban as early as January 1897. He was assassinated in 1948.
He was not a pacifist. Nor was he anti-British. When the Boer war
broke out, he organized a volunteer corps of 11,000 Indians to defend
the British colony of Natal.

Glass
Is glass an inorganic solid material - or a highly viscous liquid?
At room temperatures, glass is an elastic solid. The source of the
confusion is its unusual atomic structure. Glass indeed starts its
life as a molten liquid. But when it cools, the atoms do not form
crystals. Instead, they are arranged randomly, fully reflecting their
distribution in the liquid. This property of homogeneous continuity is
called viscosity.
So, why do some scholars insist that glass is really a liquid?
Solid glass "remembers" its previous state as a fluid.
