May 8

Why didn’t somebody just give this Mahatma guy a freaking sandwich? On the 8th in 1933, Gandhi began a 21-day fast as a protest of the rather tacky behavior of a certain empire on whom the sun used to never set, in India. Gandhi not only survived the hunger strike but also was also able to get the British out of India. Certainly, Irishman Bobby Sands must have wished that he had Gandhi’s luck. Sands not only did not survive his hunger strike but he wasn’t even able to get the British out of Ireland.
