Great Lives: Gandhi
by Nigel Hunter"His face is familiar to people in all parts of the world, but to the people of India, Mahatma Gandhi is part of the landscape itself. In every Indian town and village, you are likely to see his image. It could be a framed portrait in the Post Office or bank or a faded photograph displayed on the crumbling wall of a back street tea shop. It could be a brightly-colored postcard clipped to the side of a street-vendor's stall; or a full-length statue set up in the restful shade of a public park or above the hurly-burly and bustle of the crossroads. He may be pictured at his spinning wheel, absorbed in concentration, or playing with children, laughing good naturedly. Or perhaps he is drinking tea with the Viceroy. More often, he is portrayed striding purposefully forward, leading the movement for Indian independence; for freedom, peace and friendship. Millions affectionately called him Bapu, Father of the nation."
