Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi sparked controversy by claiming in a recent interview that the world was unaware of Mahatma Gandhi before Richard Attenborough's 1982 biopic. Modi's remarks drew swift condemnation from opposition leaders and critics, labeling them as "shocking" and "ignorant." He lamented previous governments for not elevating Gandhi's global stature akin to Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela. Opposition figures criticized Modi's assertion, citing Gandhi's worldwide recognition for his role in inspiring movements for freedom and civil rights. The remarks have reignited discussions on Gandhi's legacy and global influence.
