Gandhi Impersonator at University of Calgary
The International Peace Research Association (IPRA) and the Rotary Club
of Okotoks are pleased to host Dr . Shall Sinha at the University of Calgary,
MacEwan Hall, on July 1 at 7:30pm. Shall Gandhi Sinha has a Ph.D. degree
from McGill University and is a leading expert on the Life and Works of
Mahatma Gandhi and he also does an Extraordinary Impersonation of the character.
He appears dressed exactly like Mahatma Gandhi - with bald-head, steel-frame
glasses, home-spun loin clothes, tire-slippers and a bamboo walking stick.
Throughout the presentation he stays in Gandhi's character and talks on
a topic related to the theme of the occasion. He draws all his supporting
materials from Gandhi's actual life and tells what Gandhi did in a similar
situation. This leaves the audience feeling good about themselves and their
work and fills them with a zest for new challenges.
