Untold incidents of Gandhi's life

'Bapu'(father) of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi was self made man. In the initial era of his life Gandhi had stage phobia and was unsuited for addressing public in conferences. He transformed himself and emerged as most influential public speaker. Gandhi moved the stairs of success by beating every obstacle in his path. In following incidents you will understand how Gandhi was different from other denizens.

Incident-1 While he was in London, chairman of council advised him to address the public about his experiences behind founding this organisation. That night even after having speech written he was not able to deliver the speech in Vegetarian council.

Gandhi had many universally accepted qualities since his childhood like truth, service for diseased family member, experimental mind etc.
Incident-2 Once in his school external teachers  came for inspection. Gandhi wrote spelling of kettle wrong, his teacher pointed him to cheat from adjacent student but Gandhi didn't.

How Gandhi was different from common men?
Gandhi was a man of strong character who always treated 'Truth as God'. Gandhi never lied but he was expert in skill of speaking. he exactly knew what to say, when to say. His narrative skills were amazing because he understood the minds of public well.
Incident-3 while in Champaran British officials forced him to leave the place, issue went to court and Gandhi was asked by judge to explain himself, why should he not be charged for disturbing public order. Gandhi articulated 'This is my country (motherland), well studied person like Me have debt to help poor people who can't help themselves. I just came here for enquiry regarding situation of Indigo planting labours. I am basically helping British administration in their duty. Can you charge for being responsible citizen?".
Incident-4 while Gandhi was in London, a lady was attracted to him and she wanted Gandhi to meet ladies to marry a British White girl. But Gandhi in written letter propounded that " mam I am already married in India, child marriage here is just concept but it is practiced in India".

Gandhi always stood up for his opinions even though sometimes they were counter productive.
Incident-5 Gandhi helped Britishers in their recruitment campaign for World War-1 because he thought it is his duty towards British to help in their hard times though legends like Tilak were against this opinion.

Gandhi always had faith in common mob unlike everyone else at that time. He knew every bit of human character.
