Fucking love the part where he brings up Taranaki!!!

[@drrush3421]

“Several accounts confirm that Mahatma Gandhi read reports of the actions of Te Whiti o Rongomai, the Maori leader of Parihaka, in the Taranaki on the North Island West Coast. About 15 years before Gandhi’s first steps in active non-violence were taken in South Africa, Te Whiti and his close relation, Tohu Kakahi, mobilised people against confiscation of Maori land by the Government. They employed passive resistance, for example by ploughing the land to prevent the building of roads, and removing survey pegs, and things of that kind. Eventually, legislation was used to arrest and detain Te Whiti and others without trial, but reports of the Maori ploughing tactics in 1880 and 1881, and mass submission to arrest, reached and influenced the thinking, a decade or so later, of a young lawyer considering non-violent action against practices of the government in South Africa,” he said. Sir Anand was delivering the keynote address at the 150th Birth Anniversary celebrations of Mahatma Gandhi organised by the Indian High Commission and the Wellington Indian Association at Bharat Bhavan in Wellington on Friday, October 5, 2018.

I am very interested to learn more about this topic ( events at Parihaka and its influence on Ghandi. But I am rather confused by your comment. Who was the lawyer in South Africa. How does someone in South Africa connect with non-violent resistance at Parihaka or with Ghandi in India

I haven't heard this song in years

[@leisapatel5544]

This is still a great song but I thought they only talked about tewhiti more than tohu Kakahi

[@dirtysouth8906]

This song was originally written only mentioning Te Whiti’s name, but once he got Herbs on the track they added Tohu’s name in

[@madisonkataraina6408]

💙💙💙

[@tohuseeds2391]

The lyrics say "Tohu, Te whiti they'll never be defeated"

[@mackaythomson1083]

Some parts sound like Can't fight this feeling by REO Speedwagon. I like this song more though.

[@brianhoffman4861]
