Sixty four years after his death, Mahatma Gandhi's name on January 29 created a fresh world record in the Guinness Book as 485 underprivileged boys brought out a peace march dressed as 'Bapu'.
Flaunting khadi attire and Gandhi caps, the group of boys wore round-framed spectacles and walked with sticks as they brought alive memories of Gandhi's historic Dandi march.
After evaluating and monitoring the event, officials from the Guinness Book awarded the world record certificate to the UK-based organisers TRACKS (Training Recourse and Care for Kids).
"I am myself a Gandhi follower. This peace march is meant to inculcate Gandhi's values and messages in poor children. We don't want the underprivileged kids to forget the rich legacy of Gandhian ideology," said Michael Anthony who runs the NGO.
