‘In a gentle way, you can shake the world’, the quote by Mahatma Gandhi that rings true even to this day. On his 149th birth anniversary, we put together some of his unseen and rare pictures that take us back to his days from a young lad to his last breath.

In his childhood days, Gandhiji was fondly known as Moonia. Little did he know that when he grew up, he would be an epitome of freedom, justice and non-violence in every sense of the word.

Gandhiji too is much like the youth of today. In this picture from 1883 we see a young Gandhiji posing for a picture. He went on to do some great work in the years to come and every year on his birthday we are reminded of his great deeds for the country.

When Gandhi, along with Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, participated in a charkha demonstration that was held at the Bhangi colony in New Delhi on April 19, 1946.

In 1934, Gandhiji visited to an agricultural exhibition in London and from what we see here, he seems to have bought a goat.

Even Gandhiji was a fan. The Father of the Nation met Charlie Chaplin in London on September 23, 1931 and it clearly was a pleasant encounter. It may be 70 years since Gandhiji demise but he continues to be an inspiration to all generations.
