Tamarind Arts Council Presents "Gandhi - A Legacy"

Mahatma Gandhi has inspired many of the world’s greatest political leaders and freedom fighters, including Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela and Abdul Gafar Khan who fought for equality following his dictums of ‘Ahimsa’ – non-violence and ‘Satyagraha’ - ‘clinging to truth’. His sterling words of pacifism ring clear today: "There are many causes that I am prepared to die for but no causes that I am prepared to kill for." Gandhi dedicated his life to the wider purpose of discovering truth, or Satya, and his pleas for peace inspired future international icons like John Lennon.“Gandhi: A Legacy”, an exhibition featuring exceptional monochrome photographs, which have been kindly loaned from private collectors, will be on view at Tamarind Art Gallery,142 East 39th Street, New York. These rare photographs capture private glimpses into the man, the legend—India’s Father of the Nation—how he lived, thought and acted, inspired by the vision of humanity evolving toward a world of peace and harmony.

The exhibition opens to the public on the 10th of April and runs thru the 23rd of April 2008.

This is your chance to witness history.
