Gandhi: ‘He fought for all, thought for all’

It was the division of the country that refrained him from celebrating the Independence — something that he had spent the majority of his life fighting for.

A still from the play Mahatma vs Gandhi


As the clock ticked towards midnight on August 14, 1947, Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of an independent India addressed the Indian constituent assembly in his landmark speech, Tryst with Destiny. As the sun set on the British rule on the Indian subcontinent after close to 200 years, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, spun away at his charkha in Calcutta. It was the division of the country that refrained him from celebrating the Independence — something that he had spent the majority of his life fighting for. Speaking about his love and admiration for the father of the nation, theatre and film director Feroz Abbas Khan speaks about how the end wasn’t the one that Mahatma Gandhi wished for.
