News about Mahatma Gandhi

This is the shocking moment a man attempted to steal an old lady's bag outside a five-star hotel. The incident took place in front of Brown's Hotel, in Mayfair, London , where rooms cost upwards of £800 a night.

Travellers to India often have to stop over in the capital, but Delhi is sometimes overlooked and that's a shame. It's not only vibrant and occasionally wacky (where else has a 'Museum of Toilets'?), it's also one of the world's most beautifully crafted cities. Here are eight highlights that are not to be missed.

Riddhi Patel, 28, wept in court on Friday as she pleaded not guilty to 18 felony counts over threats to murder city councilors, including Bakersfield Mayor Karen Goh, unless they voted to endorse a ceasefire in Gaza. Viral video footage captured Patel's two minute tirade during Wednesday's council meeting before she was arrested. At one point she said: 'I hope one day somebody brings the guillotine and kills all of you mother******.'

PLATELL'S PEOPLE: The time my husband told me he'd been having an affair with a coworker is still fresh in my memory all these decades. He pleaded with him, sobbing that she'meant nothing' to him and that he loved me. The child was pregnant before revealing that she was pregnant. I can recall every detail; the time and place - late evening in our tiny kitchen; what we were eating - spaghetti Bolognese, his all favorite, with extra Parmesan. We'd only been married for four years. It's impossible to express how much it affected me. I simply could not excuse him. My heart had been struck by a million daggers. My life has never been the same since I was born.

Heroes, whether it's Superman or Indiana Jones, have long been a central focus of blockbuster movies. But who would you say is your biggest personal hero? Scientists set out to find the most famous celebrities in the United Kingdom in a new survey. Their findings revealed some key points, including family members, religious leaders, and politicians, as well as authors, actors, and even adventurers. So, would you say any of these popular choices is your hero?

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS: Alec Guinness played eight characters in the 1949 film Kind Hearts And Coronets. He took on the roles of all eight members of a ducal family that must be bumped off by relative Louis D'Ascoyne Mazzini, who is determined on becoming the Duke. In the 1996 film The Nutty Professor, Eddie Murphy portrays seven members of the Klump family. The Guinness World Record for 'the most characters played by one actor in a single film' goes to Aaranu Njan, which is a 2017 Indian film. Johnson George is one of history's most popular characters, including Jesus, Mahatma Gandhi, Leonardo da Vinci, Charlie Chaplin, and Che Guevara. Nevertheless, this film is marginally more than a home-made film.

A video shows a woman hurlings a hot cup of coffee at a man wearing a Palestinian scarf and his child at a Brooklyn playground, branding them terrorists. According to the school fight, an unidentified woman assaulted Ashish Prashar, 40, while strolling with his son in a Brooklyn basketball court on Tuesday. The woman's child was playing with the man's son before the incident, according to Prashar's account. The woman became alarmed and started screaming, but it's unclear what happened next.

When the 12th Duke of Beaufort was five, his parents deposited his younger sister and him at Badminton House in Gloucestershire and returned to London. It was 1957, and the siblings had not seen them for the next six years until they were mostly seen on weekends. They had 116 rooms before moving to a new home with their nanny in the nursery wing for the majority of the time. The 10th Duke of Beaufort, also known as Master, and his partner Mary, Queen Mary's niece, were the subject of a controversy over the whole estate. The Duke would become the country's most unlikely 12th Duke many decades later. Unlikely because his father, the unlikely 11th, was only distantly related to the 10th, who was his grandfather's first cousin who was never removed from his grandfather's first cousin. Of course, the reason they were Master's heirs was because he and his wife Mary were childless. They'd lived in Badminton alone (with many servants), so it's strange for them to have two small children there suddenly.

ROBERT HARDMAN: Could this really be one of the landmarks in the annals of civil rights? If you were in Peckham talking to some people, you would imagine this to be one of those rare occasions where a small protest sparks a massive movement. Consider Rosa Parks, the heroic shop employee who refused to give up her bus seat to a white passenger in Alabama in 1955 and helped bring down racial segregation in the United States; or Mahatma Gandhi's 1930 resistance against a law that led to Indian independence. To which are we now about to add the 'throttling' of the Peckham wig-snatcher? Well, kind of, according to several of those I encountered on Rye Lane this week, ahead of a potentially explosive street demonstration this afternoon. Inset: Sohail Sindho, who was involved in the incident

Anthony Albanese has urged countries to come together in the midst of a'critical juncture' for the world. The prime minister pleaded for economic collaboration from world leaders in order for countries to be more resilient on the second day of the conference in New Delhi. His address came after world leaders laid wreaths at Rajgaht, a memorial to Mahatma Gandhi, this year, marking 75 years since the Indian chief's - and civil rights hero's death.

The Prime Minister and his wife Akshata Murty, who are both Hindus, spent some of the morning at the 100-acre Akshardham temple in New Delhi. While making prayer offerings to a golden statue of Lord Swaminarayan, Mr Sunak and Ms Murty joined Sanskrit. The couple later joined other G20 leaders at the Raj Ghat memorial in the city, as one of the Indian freedom leader Mahatma Gandhi's monuments was unveiled. Mr Sunak spent the visit to the holy place ahead of the summit's final session, where the emphasis will be on breakthrough technologies, will be shifted to the United Kingdom later today.

President Joe Biden opted for slippers, while others barefoot to pay their respects to Mahatma Gandhi at the Raj Ghat memorial in New Delhi, his last official piece of business at the G20. Biden got out of the Beast and chatted with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who gave the US president a matching scarf. The president and other world leaders then took their positions around a yellow and orange floral square display that surrounded the eternal flame.

It's now clear that one of Kenya's main figures was none other than Rishi Sunak's paternal grandfather - a man whose CV also shows close ties with a nationalist paramilitary group. Ramdas Sunak was a founder of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), which was modeled on fascist organisations like the Nazis, according to the Mail on Sunday. Mahatma Gandhi's 1948 assassination has been accused of widespread violence, and one of its leaders is blamed for it.

KwaZulu-Natal, writes Jo Kessel of the Daily Mail, is South Africa's most affluent province flanking its south-eastern coast. Many international visitors come from Cape Town west. In so doing, they're missing out, according to Jo, because KwaZulu-Natal, Portugal's size, has beaches, towns, mountains, and safaris, as well as being cheaper. On her visit to Oyster Box Hotel (main), she bases herself there. More information is available below....

At a glittering evening reception in New Delhi on Tuesday night, Crown Princess Mary mounted an elegant display in a stunning bespoke gown by a Danish designer. On a formal visit to India, Crown Prince Frederik and the 51-year-old future queen of Denmark and her husband Prince Frederik are visiting Agra, Delhi, and Chennai (Princess Mary and Prince Frederik pictured). They are travelling with a delegation of Danish business representatives on a tour aimed at strengthening trade and industry relations between the two countries, with a focus on green energies.

In the aftermath of the Black Lives Matter demonstrations in 2020, Scotland Yard assembled a dossier of central London landmarks deemed potential targets for protesters. The police fear the Cenotaph on Whitehall, the central point of Remembrance Day services for more than 100 years, was'scalable,' according to documents leaked by the Policy Exchange think tank. The bronze statue in nearby Parliament Square of Churchill's proximity was identified as a potential point of attack, according to the researchers. Last night, Tories condemned 'idiot' demonstrators, whose behaviour had previously caused authorities to board up at-risk landmarks.

After suffering the fallout of Manly's pride jersey disaster, a leaked email from football manager John Bonasera (inset) reveals that fired coach Des Hasler (right) was unaware of the rainbow scheme and the club's round 20 rollout, which might be the primary evidence in his million-dollar lawsuit against the club.

A new batch of prisoners arrived in September 1941 to serve with the British contingent of officers at Colditz castle (right), the large fortress in Nazi Germany where violent prisoners-of-war were held hostage. Among all the white faces, one in particular stood out. He was an Indian. Birendranath Mazumdar (left) was a surgeon and a good one. He was born into the British Raj's high noon, with refined demeanors and quickidious tastes, as well as Bengali, Hindi, Urdu, French, and German. He had been educated at elite colleges modelled on the English system and was brought up to observe a code of honour that was Victorian British in tone: dedication, allegiance, morality, and sincerity.

In a still from upcoming film Daliland, which premieres on Saturday night at the Toronto International Film Festival, Sir Ben Kingsley made a convincing Salvador Dali. The film portrays the artist as an old man who is trying to find a place in the arts as he prepares to mount an exhibition. As he sported the artist's signature handlebar moustache and flowing locks, actor Ben, 78, proved that he had just what it takes to transform into the iconic surrealist painter.

MICK HUME: Can anybody be safe from today's cancel culture and the modern statue-smashing, history-erasing thought police? First, the awakened culture warriors were known for their historical hate figures. The statue of Bristol merchant and Tory MP Edward Colston was erected in protest for his ties to the slave trade. Cecil Rhodes' statue was removed from an Oxford college as a symbol of British colonialism, according to the students. Evidently, they've scrapped a proposed statue of gay 1960s playwright Joe Orton, long a hero to liberal luvvies, due to his well-known sexual preference for teenage boys in Morocco and elsewhere.
