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.

I recently visited this show and was amazed by the beautiful photographs. Some photos were the iconic images of Gandhi we all know but many were images I had never seen before. This is a must see show and should not be missed by anyone.
Amazing show.It was a great visual adventure through Gandhi's life from being a little boy to becoming one of the most inspirational leaders our time has ever seen.
What an amazing show! I was blown away by the photographs.
great show. I am going to make sure to visit the next exhibition opening.
I think that Gandhi is a great person. The reason why I respect Gandhi are the attitudes that he had. He loved peace and all human beings in the world. I'm very delight to have the oppertunity to see the Gandhi exhibition.
I saw the exhibition yesterday. As a person who love Gandhi's life and think, I appriciate Tamarind art gallery, and the person who lend the photographs of Gandhi. The show was very nice and I enjoyed the show.
These days I'm learing aout Gandhi's life. If I can, I'd like to see the photographs by visiting Tamarind art gallery.
I don't want miss the chance to see the photographs of Gandhi:)
what a great show! so informational but beautiful at the same time! a wonderfully styled exhibition!!
Too often are heroes turned into Pop Culture Icons, and people forget why they were and still are relevant.
I loved this show because it didn't portray Ghandi in a way that was cliche, rather it presented him as the man who essentially changed Indian history. This show really did justice to Ghandi's life.
