NEW DELHI (INDIA) – Un corteo di 485 bambini travestiti da Mahatma Gandhi ha sfilato oggi 30 gennaio per le vie di Kolkata (ex Calcutta) entrando nei Guinness dei Primati.
L’iniziativa è stata organizzata in occasione del 64esimo anniversario della morte dell’apostolo della pace.
Con il caratteristico telo bianco intorno ai fianchi, gli occhialini tondi e il bastone di bambù, i ”baby Mahatma” hanno ricordato la famosa Marcia del Sale. Il precedente record apparteneva a un gruppo di 255 studenti (foto Ap/LaPresse):
