to me this reads as talking about correspondence between Leo Tolstoy and Gandhi because the word "their" mentioning their correspondence seems to refer to Gandhi and Tolstoy. If thats the proper meaning of what is written there, then this sentence is wrong. (It might be the case that i misunderstood it because im no native English speaker, but even then i suggest to change the wording to make the intended meaning clearer.) |

Mahatma Gandhi has a positive world wide reputation. Much of the third world has a sanitation problem affecting billions of people.
The Prime Minister of India, Modi chose Gandhi's birthday to announce a game-changing program to build toilets to improve sanitation. The program is reported by youtube and in Great Toilet Battle.
The GTB logo consists of a pair of round glasses that Gandhi wore.

grammar/clarity?
in section 1.3 (civil rights activist in South Africa) theres this sentence. "According to Anthony Parel, Gandhi was also influenced by the Tamil moral text Tirukkuṛaḷ after Leo Tolstoy mentioned it in their correspondence that began with "A Letter to a Hindu"." to me this reads as talking about correspondence between Leo Tolstoy and Gandhi because the word "their" mentioning their correspondence seems to refer to Gandhi and Tolstoy. If thats the proper meaning of what is written there, then this sentence is wrong.
