Talk:Where Are the Gandhians?

Um, it should have stayed at "Gandhians." This is a common mistake. Even in the CDROM/Database there is a listing in the appendix (Titles to Minititles section) for: Where Are the Ghandians -- GHANDI and Where Are the Gandhians -- GANDHI, but GHANDI doesn't function as a search limiter, nor is there actual text or anything else for "Where Are the Ghandians." (Check out also google autocomplete ... As you type G H A N, it's already strongly suggesting gandhi, even though Ghana and derivatives are a legitimate possibility. Google recognises common mistakes.) Sarlo (talk) 06:57, 8 December 2013 (PST)


Shailendra has showed up with some info on this talk. He says it is discourse #21 of Dekh Kabira Roya (देख कबीरा रोया). Could use some confirmation but that talk is available in audio and could be compared with the translation in the CD-ROM. doofus-9 06:58, 12 January 2017 (UTC)


Well, i downloaded the discourse (from Osho World) and listened to it. Osho in the first sentence uses while talking in Hindi the English phrase "Where are the Gandhians?" and then continues talking a lot about Gandhi. So i'd say Shailendra is correct. --Rudra (talk) 11:44, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

Checked Hindi book. CD-ROM's translation is first part of ch.21 of 1979ed.--DhyanAntar 13:47, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

About the question mark in the title. The only source for this text is the CD-ROM, and above the text it gives the title Where Are the Gandhians, without the question mark.

Arguments to use that question mark anyhow:

  • In the Appendices "Listing of Minititles and Titles" of the CD-ROM, it does show a question mark in both entries.
  • In the original source Dekh Kabira Roya (देख कबीरा रोया) (see above) chapter 21 does show a question mark.
  • It's consistent with usage in other titles
  • It's logical to have a question mark.

Conclusion: the omission of that question mark is a typo on the CD-ROM. --Sugit (talk) 07:42, 29 September 2019 (UTC)


A talk in Bombay on 19 Jul 1969 is confirmed by: Letter written on 2 Jul 1969 (Sohan), Osho's Appointment Diary 1967-1970 (translated source document).--DhyanAntar 05:02, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
