The American newsmagazine *Time* is noted for initially ridiculing Mahatma Gandhi and the Dandi March, describing him in unflattering terms (e.g., “the half-naked fakir”). However, within weeks, as the scale and impact of the movement became evident, *Time* magazine changed its stance and acknowledged Gandhi’s significant influence, calling him a “saint” and “statesman”.
