Some interesting facts about Gandhiji

Gandhiji was born on Friday. India got its independence on Friday. Gandhiji was assassinated on Friday.

He never traveled in Plane. Although he had many powers, he lived very simply. Throughout his life he followed simplicity.

Before 1921, the father of our Nation Gandhiji used to wear a good and full dress. In his Tamil Nadu tour in Madurai, he saw many people wearing single length dhoti as their full dress. After seeing the poor plight of Indians, he avoided rich or European dresses and used to wear single length dhoti.

Gandhiji had not celebrated India’s first independence day of 1947, August 15. He didn’t sent greetings also. And more he was on fast to condemn the communal riots and the partition of country into India and Pakistan.

The third national holiday of India is Gandhiji’sbirth day which falls on October 2. The other two days are, Republic day and Independence day.

We can see in all Indian currencies, Gandhiji’s facial image being printed. The Smiling Gandhiji is very popular among the countrymen. Many of us think that image is a drawn picture.

But, in fact it was a photo shot and picturised in 1946 by an unknown photographer. The original photo is displayed here. In the original photo Gandhiji smiles to some person nearby.

That hollow smile picture had been developed into a mirror image and then the same has been imaged in the Indian Rupee currencies.
