Quotes 

• Gandhi : [in South Africa]  You mean you can appoint Mr. Baker as your attorney but you can't walk down the street with him?

  Kahn : Well, I can, but I risk being kicked into the gutter by someone less holy than Mr. Baker.

• Gandhi : I want to welcome you all. Every one of you. We have no secrets. Let us begin by being clear... about General Smuts' new law. All Indians must now be fingerprinted... like criminals. Men and women. No marriage other than a Christian marriage is considered valid. Under this act our wives and mothers are whores. And every man here is a bastard.

  Kahn : He has become quite good at this.

  Gandhi : And a policeman passing an Indian dwelling, I will not call them homes, may enter and demand the card of any Indian woman whose dwelling it is.

• Kahn : I rather like the idea of an Indian barrister in South Africa. I'm sure our community could keep you in work for some time, Mr. Gandhi, even if you caused a good deal of trouble. Especially if you caused a good deal of trouble.
