Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
Nelson Mandela was not a leading personality in India. However, he was one of the top personalities in South Africa. He fought against the injustices of the colonial system (European rulers) like the prominent personalities of India (for example, Mahatma Gandhi). His fight was against the system which permitted segregation laws. Some segregation laws are as follows: there used to be separate places for everything for the whites and the blacks. Blacks could not enter the areas made for whites. For example, there used to be separate washrooms for blacks and whites on a train. There used to be different seats for blacks and whites in buses. Blacks were not even allowed to use public services without discrimination.
The correct statement would be Nelson Mandela was not a leading personality in India.
