Episode # 31: Gandhigiri Zindabad (?)
Gandhi. Poora naam, ‘Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi’. Munnabhai, the cult Indian movie has injected a dose of Gandhigiri in India. A nation of billion people is bombarded with news from all media vehicles on how Gandhigiri rocks in today’s world of deception. Gandhi had moved a nation to action through his out of the box style of protests against the British non-violence and integrity being his weapons of choice. Munnabhai relives Gandhian philosophy in the 21st Century. We at Indicast try to brainstorm a few scenerios where Gandhigiri would work and where it would not be a good idea!
Indian Hockey stoops to new levels and the coach Bhaskaran reasons why. Aditya, a true sportsman is more than livid and lets us know about why our National Sport is beyond recovery. He is still hopeful though. Listen to know more!
Lastly, A big THANK YOU to all our listeners who made us look good in one of Mumbai’s leading publications, ‘Mid-Day’. Keep those comments coming in.
We would like to congratulate our friend, Kay Stoner for her book, ‘Bring Me the Head of Opal Mehta’ which has been published and if she is listening, we hope to get one free copy so that we can review it on Indicast! 
Episode Notes:
- The Official Gandhigiri Website
- Gandhi’s Cool
- Indian Hockey defies gravity… The fall never ends
- Goal! Goal! Goal! We need a Dyanchand to revive Indian Hockey
Yours Internetally,
Abhishek

hello you guys. excellent as always
love the fact that time passes quicker when i’m listening to indicast.
I loved the gandhigiri message in LRMB. i think its awesome that they managed to make a movie that is both filmi and non-cheesy. Well, it was kind of cheesy towards the end but the film had a message and it “trendily” passed the message on.
Anyway, hurry up with the new episode!
you updated quite regularly so keep it up

Ben: “Indian cops ki paunch door door tak hai..” Awesome!!!
:})
Suraj: I did check the link! Some geek has put Gandhi on the internet! And brilliantly done!
Lavanya: You’ve been one of our primitive listeners!
“time passes quicker when i’m listening to indicast.” is the best complement that we could have ever received! Keep listening!
