As Mahatma Gandhi became more involved in spirituality and politics, he started to alienate his friends. So his English friends from London thought of inviting him to the UK. English friend to Gandhi on call, “For Gary’s bachelor weekend let’s make it a big one so I was thinking….!” Gandhi interrupted by saying, “To celebrate? Why don’t we sit in silence and experience nature’s beauty in harmony with our souls.”
Later at the party, he caused particular problems when the group tried to meet women. Frustrated his friends took matters into their own hands, “We’ve got this little game right here. You have to get in this car here and we go and sit in a pub. Mohan, the game is how long can you stay in that car.” Gandhi tried to prove to his friends that he could be fun as well but arguably took things too far. He got out of the car and announced a speech in the bar. He said, “Peace is very much important but not as important as party time. I may be fasting but there’s one thing I still eat, puss..(and he was cut short).”
Irrespective of the above joke, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi is largely regarded as one of the greatest political and spiritual leaders of the twentieth century. In India, he is regarded as the father of the nation or simply Bapu, having pioneered and implemented the philosophy of Satyagraha—resistance against tyranny via mass nonviolent civil disobedience. In India, Gandhi Jayanti is observed every year on October 2nd to mark Gandhi’s birth anniversary. In the rest of the countries, the day is observed as the International Day of Non-Violence.
So we have put together a list of the best Gandhi jokes of all time to use on Gandhi Jayanti and put a smile on your friend, family or close one’s face.

A vagrant, finding no place on the pavement, parked himself at the feet of a statue of Mahatma Gandhi. At midnight he was woken up by someone gently tapping him with his stick. It was the Mahatma himself. ‘You Indians have been unfair to me,’ complained the benign spirit. “You put my statues everywhere that show me either standing or walking. My feet are very tired. Why can’t I have a horse like the one Chhatrapati Shivaji (an Indian king) has? Surely, I did as much for the nation as he! And you still call me your Bapu (father).”
The next morning the vagrant went around calling on the ministers. At long last he persuaded one to join him for a night-long vigil at the feet of the Mahatma’s statue. Lo and behold, as the neighboring police station gong struck the midnight hour, the Mahatma emerged from his statue to converse with the vagrant. He repeated his complaint of having to stand or walk and his request to be provided a mount like the Chhatrapati.
“Bapu,’ replied the vagrant, “I am too poor to buy you a horse, but I have brought this minister from the Government for you. He …” Bapu looked at the minister and remarked, “I asked for a horse, not a donkey.”

When Gandhi was studying law at the University College of London, a white professor, whose last name was Peters, disliked him intensely and always displayed prejudice and animosity towards him. Also, Gandhi never lowered his head when addressing him, as he expected…. there were always “arguments” and confrontations.
One day, Mr. Peters was having lunch in the dining room of the University, and Gandhi came along with his tray and sat next to the professor. The professor said, “Mr. Gandhi, you do not understand. A pig and a bird do not sit together to eat.” Gandhi looked at him as a parent would a rude child and calmly replied, “You do not worry professor. I’ll fly away,” and he went and sat at another table.
Mr. Peters, reddened with rage, decided to take revenge on the next test paper, but Gandhi responded brilliantly to all questions. Mr. Peters, unhappy and frustrated, asked him the following question. “Mr. Gandhi, if you were walking down the street and found a package, and within was a bag of wisdom and another bag with a lot of money, which one would you take?”
Without hesitating, Gandhi responded, “The one with the money, of course.”
Mr. Peters, smiling sarcastically said, “I, in your place, would have taken the wisdom, don’t you think?”
Gandhi shrugged indifferently and responded, “Each one takes what he doesn’t have.”
Mr. Peters, by this time, was fit to be tied. So great was his anger that he wrote on Gandhi’s exam sheet the word “idiot” and gave it to Gandhi. Gandhi took the exam sheet and sat down at his desk trying very hard to remain calm while he contemplated his next move.
A few minutes later, Gandhi got up, went to the professor, and said to him in a dignified but sarcastically polite tone, “Mr. Peters, you signed the sheet, but you did not give me the grade.”
