Interesting Facts About Gandhi!!!

Hey guys, while watching the movie, Gandhi appeared to be too perfect of a character who was working towards freeing his nation from British rule, so I decided to look for some interesting facts that you guys and myself might not have known about him.

Interesting Facts about Gandhi

One of the interesting facts out of the many given in this link is that Gandhi was VERY afraid of public speaking.  In the movie, he appears to be a very composed, calm man who could settle arguments against British officials with well thought-out concise remarks.  At first, I assumed this would make him a very good speaker as his words were always straight to the point.  However, I also recall a scene in the movie where Gandhi is greeted by thousands of Indian men, women, and children who all expect him to say something to which he replies with a short remark.  This event shows that he was a very shy person, in case you guys didn't pick that up.
