RTD goes to India to meet modern-day Gandhians, disciples of the Mahatma who have broken free from the shackles of capitalism by applying Gandhi’s principles in their own lives. One railway manager has stopped wearing trainers for his daily run. An educator travels around on a Harley Davidson to teach affluent pupils to share with the poor. Now in his nineties, V.
