Gandhiji always worked for those people whom society was calling as untouchables .
This incident is an example .
It was a cloudy night . Gandhiji had gone to market to buy some goods . But when returning , it has started to rain . Soon , it started to rain heavily .Gandhiji took shelter under a big tree . Like him , many were taking shelter under the tree .
That time , a young man who was all wet , came near the tree .Though he was wet , he didn't come under the tree to take shelter . He kept standing in the rain . Gandhiji saw this and invited the young man to join them .
That time , other men who were standing with Gandhiji under the tree , started objecting Gandhiji . They said the young man should not join them as he is from low cast and they all should not mix with such untouchables. Gandhiji thought it is wrong and he wanted to change this mentality of people .
But change has to be brought with himself . So he went and stood with young man in the rain .
from low cast and they all consider him as untouchable person .
Gandhiji felt very bad . He thought it is not right to discriminate people . He wanted to change the mentality
