In May 1893, a young attorney arrived at Durban on a year’s girmit (contract) to fight a lawsuit for Dada Abdullah and Co. Thrown out of the train to Pretoria, he was to taste the racial discrimination that plagued the land at that time. In Durban and Beyond, Giriraj Kishore retraces the socio-political background of the 19th and 20th- century South Africa, highlighting the importance of the young attorney’s actions in South Africa and their monumental significance for humanity as a whole.
