70 years ago today, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was assassinated. This iconic photo of Gandhi at his spinning wheel was shot by the legendary Margaret Bourke-White in 1946. In typed notes that accompanied Bourke-White's film when it was sent from India to LIFE's New York offices in the spring of 1946, the significance of the simple spinning wheel in the photo is made abundantly clear: ____ "[Gandhi] spins every day for 1 hr. beginning usually at 4. All members of his ashram must spin. He and his followers encourage everyone to spin. Even M. B-W was encouraged to lay [aside] her camera to spin. . . . When I remarked that both photography and spinning were handicrafts, they told me seriously, "The greater of the 2 is spinning." Spinning is raised to the heights almost of a religion with Gandhi and his followers. The spinning wheel is sort of an Ikon to them. Spinning is a cure all, and is spoken of in terms of the highest poetry." (Margaret Bourke-White—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images) #LIFElegends #Gandhi #MargaretBourkeWhite
