'How accurate is the film GANDHI in accounting Mahatma Gandhi's life?' By Raghav Kaushik

GANDHI the movie is, above all, meant for entertainment. However, the movie is historically correct save for a few exceptions; but it is clear why Richard Attenborough (GANDHI's director) has made these errors. <Tab/>Gandhi gets so upset at South Africa's Apartheid laws over just one incident in a train. It is true that this event really happened but it is unclear why Gandhi got so angry and started his campaign …

…Kingsley cry out "God" because he wanted Gandhi to seem open to all religions. <Tab/>Excepting these few minor (if it can be called this) errors, Attenborough has made sure his film is historically accurate as well as entertaining. He spent many years just preparing to shoot the video and spent much time researching India's modern history. It is futile to even try to find major mistakes in Attenborough's masterpiece GANDHI.
