Mahatma Gandhi Surgery

It was a stormy, January day in 1924. Mahatma Gandhi was brought into the Sassoon Hospital for an operation to remove his appendix. But then the power went off due to the raging thunderstorm, and a flashlight was used but that too flickered to death while the British army surgeon was wielding the scalpel.

After undergoing surgery for an undisclosed ailment over a month ago, Sonia Gandhi today made her first public appearance when she attended a prayer meeting at Rajghat on the occasion of Mahatma Gandhi's 142nd birth anniversary.
