About

Father of Nation, popular as "Mahatma Gandhi," originally known as Mohandas Karam Chand Gandhi was a leader, lawyer, and a great social activist. He was not only a great socialist who played an amazing role as a leader in the Independence of India but also a leader who always supported nonviolence and organized Satyagrah protests against British rule; he and thousands of Indians supported his non-violent approach and took part in his Protest with peace. Indian public had huge respect for him and addressed him as "Bapu", which means "father" in Gujarati. Thousands of people used to follow him and gather and join his ways whenever he took any stands against British rule.

Many times he went to jail for the freedom of the country, and not only in India but in the entire world, he was popular. He spent all his life for the country, and in 1948, he also died while working for the country. All his sacrifices and efforts gave him great reorganization as he got the title of "Mahatma", which means saint in Hindi. Mahatma Gandhi's popularity didn't even stop after his death, and now he is known as one of the most popular personalities in the world and is taught as "father of Nation" in textbooks for schools. Many great personalities like Martin Luther King or Nelson Mandela followed his principles, and many still are; he is an inspiration worldwide.

Birth and Early Life

The

Jeannot Marciniak, the 67-year-old look-a-like, landed in India on Saturday on his second visit to the country. Marciniak chose Rajghat as his first destination in Delhi because this is where he said he “belongs”.

“I had come to Pondicherry the first time I came to India in 2013. That is when a photographer approached me with a camera and showed me an Indian currency note. He excitedly pointed to the picture of Gandhi and said he wanted to photograph me because I looked like Gandhi. That is when I decided to play Gandhi,” he explained in broken English.

He said he had worked most of his life but is retired now and “has nothing much to do”. Moving around as Mahatma Gandhi is exciting and makes him happy, he said. Marciniak’s companion Sylvin, a television reporter from Paris who is shooting a documentary on him said, “Jean used to work as a garbage collector in Toulouse in Southwest France. He travels to a new destination for two months each year. But what changed things for him was when he visited India.”

Marciniak claimed he has read many books on Mahatma Gandhi and watched movies on him, including the 1982 film by Richard Attenborough.

Marciniak claimed he managed to save most of his money because he lives frugally. “I live in a small house and I don’t drink or smoke. I also work as an extra hand in the market to make some extra money.”

After Sylvin is satisfied with the shots, the duo makes their way back to a rented accommodation in Paharganj. “He became a sensation after he donned the Gandhi attire. He has been covered in the local media in Paris and Toulouse by newspapers like Le Figaro and La Depeche du Midi.”

34 yrs, no black mark
Armed with a bagful of documents, he told Ashok, “Sir, make me the commissioner and I will show you results in one month. I am an outstanding officer without a black mark in my 34-year career. No IPS officer in the country has a track record like me and I have documents to prove my claim,” he said.

Once the additional commissioner of police (administration), Hafeez added, “Give me the police commissioner’s job, which is the only executive posting available to an ADGP rank officer, and I will show you results. I will set right the city which is full of problems.

Pointing to his bag of documents, Hafeez said, “See these documents, look at the appreciation letters given to me by eminent people of this country and decide. I am not bluffing.”

Perhaps not wanting to leave everything to merit, he also played the minority card: “During my years of service, I got an executive posting for only three years. Because I come from minority community, I have been victimised. Please set right this wrong,” he told.

Ashok seemed sufficiently moved to reply, “No, we are never against minorities. I always praise the good work done by
