I think Gandhi has really gotten out of his comfort zone with all the protests and marches and speaking to the people of India. The incident with the train and the shoes shows how generous and kind Gandhi was, on another note he was also attacked in South Africa but refused to press charges towards them gaining public admiration from the people and apologies from the attackers themselves.
