I am really impressed Merili..I am from India FYI ....I love Gandhi's tolerence and I feel he is a great human being.Maybe if you get a chance you should watch this movie called "HeyRam".The movie has 3 Indian languages Hindi,Tamil and Bengali in it.Maybe you can get a dvd with subtitles.

The movie depics the Gandhian era and is about a man who was anti Gandhi but how he changes his view after meeting Gandhi and getting to know him better.It is not a movie about Gandhi but about a period in India .......
