This is very odd for a country to celebrate in this way a foreigner that lead a revolution which concluded in huge territorial loss.

- IfOnlyYouKnew 6y agoGandhi was a British citizen, with a law degree from Oxford IIRC.
- blaser-waffle 6y agoA law degree does not mean you can't lead rebellions, and being a British citizen doesn't excuse starting the Quit India movement. The face on the currency should be someone who contributed something meaningful to the national consciousness. Gandhi was an impressive figure but his main contribution to the British Empire was helping break it apart. If that's what the UK thinks is worth celebrating these days -- their own decline -- then I look forward to the inevitable Theresa May / BoJo Pound note.
