Gandhi is a 1982 period biographical film based on the life of Mahatma Gandhi, the leader of nonviolent non-cooperative Indian independence movement against the British Raj during the 20th century.
Scannán beathaisnéise tréimhse 1982 é Gandhi atá bunaithe ar shaol Mahatma Gandhi, ceannaire ghluaiseacht neamhspleáchais neamh-chomhoibritheach Indiach neamh-chomhoibritheach i gcoinne Raj na Breataine le linn an 20ú haois.
On 30 January 1948, after an evening prayer, an elderly Gandhi is helped out for his evening walk to meet a large number of greeters and admirers.
An 30 Eanáir 1948, tar éis paidir tráthnóna, tugtar cúnamh do Gandhi scothaosta as a shiúlóid tráthnóna chun bualadh le líon mór beannachtaí agus admirers.
One visitor, Nathuram Godse, shoots him point blank in the chest.
Scaipeann cuairteoir amháin, Nathuram Godse, é bán sa chiste.
Gandhi exclaims, “Oh, God!”, and then falls dead.
Exclamims Gandhi, “Ó, Dia!”, Agus ansin titeann sé marbh.
In 1893, the 23-year-old Gandhi is thrown off a South African train for being an Indian sitting in a first-class compartment despite having a first-class ticket.
Sa bhliain 1893, caitear an Gandhi 23 bliain d’aois as traein na hAfraice Theas as a bheith ina Indiach ina shuí in urrann den chéad scoth ainneoin go bhfuil ticéad den chéad scoth aige.
Realising the laws are biased against Indians, he then decides to start a non-violent protest campaign for the rights of all Indians in South Africa.
Nuair a thuigeann sé go bhfuil na dlíthe claonta i gcoinne na nIndiach, socraíonn sé ansin feachtas agóide neamh-fhoréigneach a thosú ar son cearta na nIndiach uile san Afraic Theas.
After numerous arrests and unwelcome international attention, the government finally relents by recognising some rights for Indians.
Tar éis gabhálacha iomadúla agus aird idirnáisiúnta gan fáilte rompu, éiríonn leis an rialtas sa deireadh trí roinnt cearta a aithint do na hIndiaigh.
In 1915, as a result of his victory in South Africa, Gandhi is invited back to India, where he is now considered something of a national hero.
Sa bhliain 1915, mar thoradh ar a bhua san Afraic Theas, tugtar cuireadh do Gandhi filleadh ar an India, áit a meastar anois gur laoch náisiúnta é.
He is urged to take up the fight for Indias independence (Swaraj, Quit India) from the British Empire.
Iarrtar air dul i mbun an troid ar son neamhspleáchas na hIndia (Swaraj, Quit India) ó Impireacht na Breataine.
Gandhi agrees, and mounts a non-violent non-cooperation campaign of unprecedented scale, coordinating millions of Indians nationwide.
Aontaíonn Gandhi, agus cuireann sé feachtas neamh-fhoréigneach neamh- chomhoibrithe ar scála nach bhfacthas riamh roimhe, ag comhordú na milliúin Indiach ar fud na tíre.
There are some setbacks, such as violence against the protesters, Gandhis occasional imprisonment, and the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
Tá roinnt deacrachtaí ann, mar shampla foréigean i gcoinne an lucht agóide, príosúnacht Gandhi ó am go chéile, agus murt Jallianwala Bagh 1919.
Nevertheless, the campaign generates great attention, and Britain faces intense public pressure.
Ina ainneoin sin, gineann an feachtas aird mhór, agus tá brú mór poiblí ar an mBreatain.
In 1930, Gandhi protests against the British-imposed salt tax via the highly symbolic Salt March.
I 1930, rinne Gandhi agóid i gcoinne na cánach salainn a fhorchuirtear leis an mBreatain tríd an Salt March an-siombalach.
He also travels to London for a conference concerning Britains possible departure from India; this, however, proves fruitless.
Taistealaíonn sé go Londain freisin le haghaidh comhdhála maidir leis an gcaoi a bhféadfadh an Bhreatain imeacht ón India; cruthaíonn sé seo toradh, áfach.
After the Second World War, India finally wins its independence.
Tar éis an Dara Cogadh Domhanda, bhuaigh an India a neamhspleáchas sa deireadh.
Indians celebrate this victory, but their troubles are far from over.
Ceiliúrann na hIndiaigh an bua seo, ach tá a gcuid trioblóidí i bhfad ó shin.
The country is subsequently divided by religion.
Roinntear an tír de réir reiligiúin ina dhiaidh sin.
It is decided that the northwest area and the eastern part of India (current-day Bangladesh), both places where Muslims are in the majority, will become a new country called Pakistan.
Socraítear go mbeidh limistéar an iarthuaiscirt agus an chuid thoir den India (an Bhanglaidéis sa lá atá inniu ann), an dá áit ina bhfuil Moslamaigh den chuid is mó, ina tír nua darb ainm an Phacastáin.
It is hoped that by encouraging the Muslims to live in a separate country, violence will abate.
Táthar ag súil go laghdóidh an foréigean trí na Moslamaigh a spreagadh chun cónaí i dtír ar leithligh.
Gandhi is opposed to the idea, and is even willing to allow Muhammad Ali Jinnah to become the first Prime Minister of India, but the Partition of India is carried out nevertheless.
Tá Gandhi i gcoinne an smaoineamh, agus tá sé sásta fiú ligean do Muhammad Ali Jinnah a bheith ina chéad Phríomh-Aire ar an India, ach déantar Deighilt na hIndia mar sin féin.
Religious tensions between Hindus and Muslims erupt into nationwide violence.
Éiríonn teannas reiligiúnach idir na Hiondúigh agus na Moslamaigh le foréigean ar fud na tíre.
Horrified, Gandhi declares a hunger strike, saying he will not eat until the fighting stops.
Go huafásach, dearbhaíonn Gandhi stailc ocrais, ag rá nach n-íosfaidh sé go dtí go stopfaidh an troid.
The fighting does stop eventually.
Stopfaidh an troid sa deireadh.
Gandhi spends his last days trying to bring about peace between both nations.
Caitheann Gandhi a laethanta deireanacha ag iarraidh síocháin a bhaint amach idir an dá náisiún.
He, thereby, angers many dissidents on both sides, one of whom (Godse) is involved in a conspiracy to assassinate him.
Ar an gcaoi sin, cuireann sé fearg ar go leor easaontóirí ar an dá thaobh, a bhfuil duine acu (Godse) páirteach i gcomhcheilg chun é a fheallmharú.
Gandhi is cremated and his ashes are scattered on the holy Ganga.
Déantar créamadh Gandhi agus tá a luaithreach scaipthe ar an Ganga naofa.
As this happens, viewers hear Gandhi in another voiceover from earlier in the film.
De réir mar a tharlaíonn sé seo, cloiseann lucht féachana Gandhi i nglórphoist eile níos luaithe sa scannán.
