Tolstoi Plaas

Tolstoi Plaas was 'n ashram wat deur Mahatma Gandhi tydens sy Suid-Afrikaanse beweging geïnisieer en georganiseer is. By sy skepping in 1910 het die ashram gedien as die hoofkwartier van die veldtog van satyagraha teen diskriminasie teen Indiërs in Transvaal, waar dit geleë was.^[1] Die ashram, Gandhi se tweede in Suid-Afrika (die eerste was Phoenix Farm, Natal, in 1904) is vernoem na die Russiese skrywer en filosoof, wie se boek uit 1894, 'The Kingdom of God Is Within You, Gandhi se filosofie van geweldloosheid grootliks beïnvloed het.

Hermann Kallenbach, 'n Gandhi-ondersteuner, het Gandhi en sewentig tot tagtig ander mense toegelaat om daar te woon solank hul plaaslike beweging van krag was. Kallenbach het die naam vir die gemeenskap voorgestel, wat gou drie nuwe geboue gebou het om as woonkwartiere, werkswinkels en 'n skool te dien. Sjt. Pragji Desai het ook met hierdie program gehelp. Daar was geen bediendes op die plaas nie, en al die werk, van kook tot aas, is deur die gevangenes gedoen.^[2]^[3]
