In “Consequences”, after Faith killed Alan Finch, she said, “The guy I offed was no Gandhi.”

2 idiots discussing what position Gandhi would have played (Does anyone imagine he would have played this game? or any other game? Its not the future we’re trying to conjecture, its about a person that lived in the past and we already KNOW what he did which was – not play the NBA). I mean, talk about filling time with noise. Sorry if calling them idiots offends people but that’s what they look like to me with that discussion.

To Siddhartha’s point, yeah it annoys me too that food places will call themselves Gandhi chicken shit or whatever. I guess there are multiple identical word combinations of delhi, darbar, india, palace, tajmahal etc. that appear on desi food places, they are looking to expand their reportoire. So the next stop is Gandhi. I think they need to move on to names like India “BPO” Palace, or Call Center Darbar or IT Tandoor etc. now that these words must have some co-recognition with India.

when showing a picture, he purposelly pointed out the Sardarji in the picture who was part of the Dalai Lama’s guard to the audience

Why did he do that ?

It was a horrible act much like the norman conquest of 1066. Kind of vague isnt it?

Anyways I am a man of peace much like Ancus Marcius, you know the guy who resotred peace to the Roman empire for a short while, so please take kindly to my words.

I find the comments about Ghandi humorous, since they’re predictably in line with a modern myth which, if squeezed, oozes just about anything you might need, from spirituality to marketing. From what I’ve read, I think he was a very complicated, very flawed individual (who isn’t, right?). His historical impact and his guilt-soaked neuroses make for an interesting biography, if you suspend personal qualms but concerning cursory psychological exegesis. Koestler’s “The Lotus and the Robot” contains compelling, though brief, journalistic bits about Ghandi, if any of you browns are interested.

Dang Raju, I think you’re right

In some way, Gandhi has become a standard of sorts – granted it is not the most informed standard. Look at MLK & Hitler (sorry). Let’s face it, Americans have a “thing” about old, wise colored people & their wisdom.

Case in point, how many times have you heard “it takes a whole village to raise a child”?

When you hear someone reference Gandhi, put your 2 cents in.

LeBeouf, describing the main charactor of the movie said : “He (Francis Ouimet) was a spokesman of immigrants in 1920s .. a sort of Gandhi for the immigrants”
