Charlie Chaplin Meets Mahatma Gandhi in London – 1931

What’s perhaps more astonishing than the fact that legendary icons Mahatma Gandhi and Charlie Chaplin met, was that the venerated Indian figure had no idea who the celebrated comedian was before they made each other’s acquaintances in London in 1931.

During their brief encounter, the two ended up debating the use of machinery. Gandhi expressed his belief that it was better to return to manual labor while Chaplin argued that automation was key to progress. And although they might not have agreed on the topic, we can all agree that the meeting made for a fabulous photo shoot.
