Well this is an old thread. 2010!

Is his /s/ realized as a [T], as a certain observer claims?

*****
That's a short clip of him speaking, here is a longer one, six minutes,
from Oct 1931 (what is the date of the other clip up above?)

Gandhi was multi lingual and English was not his first language. Recording
quality seems good and I can't detect a lisp (YMMV).

Yes, and it's considered poor form / vandalism replying to old threads.

Tho since it's from Dr Jaj whatever, the harm is in reproducing her stuff
rather than in defacing the thread.

And stuff should be properly quoted so as to allow knowing who wrote what.
It's not hard, the programs even do it by default.
