One time, at peace-camp, I saw a photo of Ghandi digging through a trash can with little bits of bloody toilet paper all over his face. There was no bike to be seen, though. Just an awaiting limo with a driver dressed in snake-skin.
He looked a little thin.
hey, you got the spelling wrong, mate. It's Gandhi not Ghandi....
woops! good catch. thanks.
saw your blog on "blog of note"..
congrats..
where was that picture taken from... the word "scavenging" mentioned here was actually intended to show that despite his name and popularity as a national leader, Mahatma was a down-to-earth person. he cleaned up the toilets at his ashram all by himself, which would be a rare sight in the new world we live in where there are servants or maids for every petty thing that one could do by him/herself.
i suggest you to read " my experiments with truth" written by Gandhiji himself.
the message that he wanted to convey was simple enough- all men are born equal, and are to be treated equal. his ideologies are still followed by indians and many foreigners as well who were inspired by it.
really good discovery
