Gandhi's dress code
by Dheeraj Akula on Jan 30, 2008 01:32 PM


Gandhi used to wear minimum dress. He was scantily dressed like a poor person. What is the purpose of this?

Was he sympathising with the poor people of India, who can not afford food and clothes? Will his wearing minimum dress help the poor people in any way?

Was he setting an example for everyone to follow? Should everyone be scantily dressed like Gandhi?

When he went to UK to meet the British PM, there too he sat with minimum dress. What exactly did he hope to achieve?
