Gandhigiri

So it takes the buffoonery of the convicted-and-on-parole actor Sanjay Dutt and his eccentric side-kick speaking Mumbai's own version of 'gangsta' English viz., tapori Hindi, to remind a nation of the Mahatma and his methods.

Not surprising really, given that we have duly apotheosized the old man, and consigned his principles and ideas to oblivion

Orwell on Gandhi On another note, I don't know whether to laugh or cry when people here often praise Gandhi but constantly mispronounce his name as Gandi. Actually I do know; I feel like bursting into hysterical laughter, and have a hard time restraining myself.

Mispronounce as 'Gandi' and spell as 'Ghandi'. They do know there's an 'h' in there somewhere.
