Ghandi or Gandhi





Previous Page



Ghandi or Gandhi :




Mohandas K. Gandhi’s name has an H after the D, not after the G. Note that “Mahatma” (“great soul”) is an honorific title, not actually part of his birth name.


The proper pronunciation of the first syllable should rhyme more with “gone” than “can.”


Among Indians, his name is usually given a respectful suffix and rendered as Gandhiji, but adding Mahatma to that form would be honorific overkill.
