Shall Sinha

Shall Sinha

Topics:

  1. “What would Gandhi say if he came to speak to you at this time on this occasion?"
  2. Gandhi’s message of Peace, Non-violence, Social Justice, Equality, Human Rights, Courage, Compassion, Commitment and Integrity in Gandhi’s Character

E-mail Shall Sinha

Dr. Shall Sinha grew up in an environment where everything was influenced by Gandhi’s thoughts and principles. Though he pursued Science and earned a Ph.D. in Engineering, he maintained his deep interest in Gandhi. After about a dozen years of practicing engineering, Dr. Sinha changed the course of his life. He spent several years studying “The Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi” and searching how Gandhi’s principles and techniques could be applied to solve the current problems of violence, terrorism, poverty and social unrests. He then decided to present these in a unique way: in Gandhi’s character.

Dr. Sinha possesses a library that contains over 50,000 pages of collected works of Mahatma Gandhi. In costume, he bears a remarkable resemblance to the real Gandhi. Dr. Sinha is the author of 4 books including, Words of Wisdom from Mahatma Gandhi, which is probably the largest compilation of quotations from Mahatma Gandhi presented within one cover that includes more than 4,000 quotations on over 300 topics.
