Heart-broken after getting to know about Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination in the year 1958, the 11-year-old persuaded his father to change his name from ‘Jagdish Agrawal’ to ‘Jagdish Gandhi’, vowing to follow the principles the Mahatma. Since then, he began to be known as Jagdish Gandhi, and passed the surname on to his family as well.
