Gandhi-The movie

Questin No.10:

Charlie Andrews,the English clergyman,gives a Sunday sermon which supports Gandhi.

What happens?

Bit by bit the people go out of the church.As likely as not they do this,because they can’t understand Charlie Andrews opinion concerning Gandhi.

Do you see any irony in this?

Yes,I see a little bit irony in this.Charlie Andrews admires Ganghi and supports him by dint of his “Sunday speech”at a Sunday sermon in the church.Although the people go out of the church-because they can’t share Charlie’s opinion concernig Gandhi-he talks all the same:D

Gandhi-The movie:Part One

Question No.5:

Gandhi meets Charlie Andrews,the English clergyman,and they walk downtown together.

What book does Gandhi quote from when they are about to met up with some aggressive white South Africans?

Gandhi meets Charlie Andrews.Charlie Andrews wants to help Gandhi,because he admires Gandhi.                   In the conversation with Charlie Gandhi quotes from the bible when they are about to met up with some aggressive white South Africans.Gandhi says:”when you’re hit,you should turn the other cheek”,for instance.

Do you think that this is unusual for a Hindu?

Yes,in my opinion it’s normal that a clergyman like Charlie quotes the bible.                                              However I think it’s unusual that a Hindu like Gandhi quotes from the bible.
