MAHATMA GANDHI’S CORONATION GIFT TO THE QUEEN AND HIS YEARS IN ENGLAND

Filed under: India — tmooresr @ 12:05 am

We have all heard the story that Gandhi’s humble gift to the Queen at the time of her coronation offended Queen Mary.  When Queen Mary came to view the coronation gifts, she was diverted from the simple cloth woven by Gandhi.  The life of Gandhi in England is a fascinating story.
