New York: A 1946 picture of Mahatma Gandhi with his Charkha (spinning wheel) in the foreground is among the 100 most influential images of all time, according to a compilation by Time magazine of "images that changed the world."
The black and white photo of a bespectacled Mahatma Gandhi taken by Margaret Bourke-White shows him sitting on a thin mattress on the floor, head bent down as he is reading the news while his spinning wheels sits in the foreground.
The picture was taken for an article on India's leaders but less than two years later it was featured prominently in a tribute published after Mahatma Gandhi's assassination.
"It soon became an indelible image, the slain civil-disobedience crusader with his most potent symbol, and helped solidify the perception of Gandhi outside the subcontinent as a saintly man of peace," Time said.
