I am a follower of Mahatma Gandhi.
Gandhi: My Father' is a project very close to our hearts.
Dr. King used Gandhi's commitment to non-violence and to passive resistance.
In India, it's hard not to have Gandhi as a hero. To give up everything - including power and money - and to live for his countrymen, that beats everything else. He's a role model of selflessness.
The importance of the leader has always mattered, whether it was Indira Gandhi, V. P. Singh, or Narendra Modi.
I have no desire to advise the Gandhi family.
Rajeev Gandhi was prime minister. We've had a long family relationship with them. He asked me to fight an election, and I went ahead and did it. But I was not qualified as a politician, and I am not going back there again.
One of my earliest lessons in guilt was imparted in childhood through the story of the death of Mahatma Gandhi's father.
I guess the most surprising discovery was how long Gandhi remained loyal to the ideal of the British Empire, even in India.
You have to remember that although Gandhi and Churchill only met physically once, their paths crossed again and crossed again all over the globe, from London and South Africa and India and back to London. In fact, I discovered that during the Boer War in 1899 they literally passed yards from each other on the battlefield.
