              OCTOBER 2 SPECIAL. Gandhi on demand

              Why a proud Hindu is a difficult icon for the Right; the downside of sharing one’s big day with the Mahatma; glasses, lathi and all else in vogue; the other side of a dry day — and more. A birth anniversary special

              Updated - October 02, 2020 at 01:56 PM.

              In this package

              Birthday boys: Most schools observe Gandhi Jayanti on October 1 because of a national holiday the following day
              Born on Gandhi Jayanti
              Get it right: Created by fact-checking initiative Boom Live, That Fact Check Show is dedicated to the discussion and debunking of misinformation in India
              Nothing but the truth
              The dilemma: Gandhi lived and spoke like a proud Hindu, but was a staunch believer of Hindu-Muslim unity
              Gandhi: The troublesome icon
              In truth: It was also the time Gandhi had begun to ask himself whether he had achieved brahmacharya
              The healing touch of Gandhi
              Looming influence: A portrait of the Mahatma  by the realist painter AH Muller (1878-1960) adorns the banquet hall of Rashtrapati Bhavan
              Finding Gandhi in the Rashtrapati Bhavan
              High-minded: The government has deemed national holidays alcohol-free occasions, which see liquor vendors downing shutters
              Who’s cheering a dry day?
