Mahatma Gandhi's 149th birth anniversary commemorated in China

Mahatma Gandhi's popular quotes and bhajans resonated at the Chaoyang Park in Beijing yesterday as people from all walks of life gathered to commemorate the 149th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. 

A cultural team from the Indian Embassy sung Gandhiji's most



popular bhajans and quotes were recited by the Chinese school children.

The statue of Gandhiji carved by China's acclaimed sculptor and artist Yuan Xikun was installed in the park in 2005, providing an opportunity for all his admirers to pay homage.
