A Hero’s Life Journey: Defining Moments of Life and Leadership

Satinder Dhiman

Chapter Chapter 2 in Gandhi and Leadership, 2015, pp 15-41 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract How are great leaders fashioned at the hands of destiny? What are the distinguishing marks separating them from ordinary people? Are there any visible outer signs? Or is it an intangible presence that defnes their infuence? When Mahatma Gandhi was in London in 1931 to argue for India’s independence, a small girl started to ask him for his autograph. Then she drew back shyly before this strange little dhoti-clad man with a roughly mended coarse shawl over his shoulders and cheap wire-framed spectacles. She looked up at her mother and asked: “Mummy, is he really great?”1
