How are Gandhi and Antigone related?

Stories about Antigone and about Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi [October 2, 1869-January 30, 1948] are related in their theme of nonviolent, civil disobedience of unfair, unjust laws. The mythological Antigone and the historical Gandhi refused to honor what they perceived as inhumane laws. Gandhi led protests such as boycotts. Antigone went ahead and did what she wasn't supposed to do by law: give her brother Polyneices a proper burial.
