This year marks the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. While commemorate the day, on 2 October, it is relevant to wonder how much Indians remember about the Father of the Nation. Has Gandhigiri become mere tokenism today? Do we only know Gandhi as the man who fought for the freedom of our country or do we also remember his principles and the causes he fought for?

With these questions and some more, RJ Stutee hit the streets of Delhi to speak with our cab wale bhaiyyas and asked them the relevance of Mahatma Gandhi and his teachings in India today.
