mohandes gandi was truly the skinniest guy i have ever seen. but he could speak like no one else. and apart from ghadaffi he was the only leader honest and brave enough to support mandela. if it wasn't for mahatma, ben kingsly would be out of the job.

I don't know if you know, but Gandhi spent more than half of his life exploring India which is the most diverse country in the world. He did it because no one would listen to him and he thought that if he learned what the people really needed he would make them listen. He came up with 2 things the people of India needed: bread and salt. He said that so many people we hungry in the country that they defined all their desires through those 2 things.
Pretty scary but true. Later on he went into politics and writing quotes such as this one got into everyones hearts.
