63. 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.

64. 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’s
birth day which falls on October 2. The other two
days are, Republic day and Independence day.

65. 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.
