  1. The connect is Mahatma Gandhi.
    1. NREGA's name has a Mahatma Gandhi attached to it as a prefix but that is frequently omitted.
    2. Gandhi was influenced by Tolstoy's work "The Kingdom of God is Within You" and "A Letter to a Hindu". In fact the second one, a letter written by Tolstoy to Tarak Nath Das, prompted Gandhi to adopt the non violence stance against the British rule.
    3. Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan is also known as "Frontier Gandhi".
    4. This is the "Mahatma Gandhi" district in Southwest Houston, Texas and was named so in January 2010.
