After being given a tour of the more maginficent houses, parks, cathedrals, museums and the House of Lords in London - at the height of its Empire, Ghandi was asked a question in front of the full British Parliment, intended to humble him.

He was asked "What do you think about British Civilisation?"

His answer is, of course, legend Smile

g_day, So, you did the three "c's" tour of London, hey? I love that city, and have visited there many times. Even spent one whole month there about 25 years ago. Lovely city, heh? Can never get bored in London. Didn't hear about the Gandhi in Parliament statement, but will go searching on Google. Wink

This is much more than you asked for, but "what the hey" - it's free! Wink

"What do you think about Western Civilisation?" is the quote I've been seeing on the net Wink

But 'British' is probably the word they used :-)

I know it as "Western", too. It was my yearbook quote. :-)

Reporter: Mr. Gandhi, what do you think of Western Civilization?

Mr. Gandhi: I think it would be a good idea.
