‘Read his writings to understand him the best’
Overwhelmed by the outpouring of affection for Mahatma Gandhi in Madurai on a day that marked the centenary year of Gandhi’s dress revolution, his granddaughter Tara Gandhi Bhattacharjee urged people to read his writings to understand him the best.
In the city to take part at a series of events organised by the Gandhi Memorial Museum to commemorate the day when Gandhi shed his western attire and adopted the iconic shawl and a half-dhoti, she said the world should know more about Madurai and its importance. It was at a house on West Masi Street where Gandhi saw a poor peasant in humble clothing and decided to embrace the loincloth and made his first public appearance immediately thereafter at the Gandhi Pottal on Kamarajar Salai.
The statues of the Mahatma installed at both places were garlanded by Ms. Tara, who was accompanied by her grandson Vithur Bharath Ram, along with A. Annamalai, chairman of Tamil Nadu Gandhi Smarak Nidhi and director, National Gandhi Museum, Delhi, and M. Manickam, chairman of the Gandhi Memorial Museum.
