Yesterday, on the eve of Mahatma Gandhi’s death, hundreds of young Calcutta schoolboys dressed as the peaceful political figure in a rally to promote his historically non-violent ideology. With 485 participants, the group set a new Guinness World record, beating out the last Muhatma Ghandi lookalike gathering (255 lookalikes) by an impressive margin of 230 perfect looking bald caps.
