Gandhi, Mohandas. October 2, 1869, 7:08:11 AM LMT, Porbandar, India (B).
Hone, Margaret. October 2, 1892, 2:13 AM GMT, Studley, England (A).
Parsons, Jack. October 2, 1914, 8:45 PM PST, Los Angeles, CA (AA).
Ripa, Kelly. October 2,1970, 5:23 AM EDT, Stratford, NJ (A).
Gandhi's chart is commonly listed as C data; however, the only ambiguity is in correctly translating the Indian time system to one useful to us. Fagan and Raman both give Gandhi's birth time as "three Ghatis and 12 Palas after sunrise," based on Yeshawant K. Pradhan in "Voice of India," 2/24. However, different astrologers have converted this to numerous times over the spam of an hour. A few years back, I walked through the tedious calculations with a modern ghati-to-hour conversion tool and converted this to 7:08:11 AM LMT, which agrees within 1 second with the time Fagan calculated. (Visible sunrise was 5:51:23 AM.) Wemyss' "one hour, 16 minutes 48 seconds after sunrise" and Notable Nativities agrees within a minute. The rest (ignoring people's various rectifications) seem just to be math errors (though I'm surprised Raman, of all people, differed so much.)
