Being thrown out of that train is what motivated Gandhi to spend his life defending the rights of the underprivileged, and giving up anything of luxury along the way. I remembered this as the story of someone who finds his vocation. It's weird to see it told as the story of a clever trick for getting into first-class.
- DenisM 18y agoIt's not about cushy seats in first-class, it's about hacking the system. You see, Gandhi is one of the most successful hackers - he hacked the first-class, then he learned from that and hacked the british empire.
- zupatol 18y agoIf this is the story I am thinking of, then Gandhi didn't even know he wasn't allowed to be in the first class. (The different links to the negotiation book don't seem to work, so what I am talking about is the story linked to by sfk, which I also read in the autobiography and also figures prominently in the film).
- DenisM 18y agoDid you try the actual headline story? He knew pefectly well he was not allowed there, he prepared and succeeded.
