Water is not allowed for fasting Muslims though. And didn't Gandhi last many days fasting? If you drink water, I really wouldn't call that fasting. On the other hand, some Christians call not eating chocolate for 40 days fasting, so I don't know...

Nothing allowed for Muslims during daylight. Gandhi was on a hunger strike - did that include thirst stike?? Depriving yourself of water will kill you after a few days.
