BASICALLY EVERY GANDHI QUOTE ON THE INTERNET IS FAKE: “We love quotes from famous dead people. Words just sound more important when they’re coming from the mouths of important historical figures. And when we need that extra dash of moral authority, Mahatma Gandhi is one of the most quotable. But as Gandhi once said, ‘Half my quotes on Pinterest are fake.’”

But Richard Grenier’s magnum opus 1983 Commentary article, “The Gandhi Nobody Knows,” his rebuttal to Richard Attenborough’s hagiographic bio pic is real – and at 13,600+ acid-tipped words, is spectacular.
