About Gandhi: 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: The Legacy", an exhibition featuring exceptional monochrome photographs,
which have been kindly loaned from private collectors. These 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.
This once-in-a lifetime exhibition offers a chance to observe a moment of history.
