    Gandhi photobomb!

    Yesterday was the 64th anniversary of the death of Mahatma Gandhi, the man who sparked the independence movement that led to the free India we know and love today. To commemorate this great man in their country’s history, 500 young boys in Kolkata, West Bengal donned fake moustaches, skull caps and wire glasses and marched in his memory.

    Their efforts not only earned them a Guinness World Record for the sheer number of that participated (the previous total was 485 the year before), but also praise from the granddaughter of Gandhi herself who traveled to the city to watch the procession.

    She said:

    It’s a great feeling. When my children heard of the effort they egged me to come to Kolkata. They said it may be a bit tiring for you, but the trip is worth to be made. I now know they were right. I am moved by the passion for the father of the nation displayed by these children.

    Check out some awesome images from the march after the jump, and note the Guinness World Records officials observing the event:
