Gandhiji Appears on Google

Not since the appearance of modern India's other beloved transformative figure, Rabindrinath Tagore, has Google included a representative from South Central Asia in their icon.



As cultural icons, how do you think the two compare? One as a key political figure in the liberation of India; the other as a recipient of the Nobel Peace Price in Literature?



What similar historical figures existed for you in the 20th century US?



What can we learn from Gandhiji and how can we apply it to the 21st century?
