137/366 Where Gandhi Lived 1917-1934
A significant part of my early academic research was on Gandhi. Today I was delighted and moved to spend time at Mani Bhavan, the place where he lived and worked in Bombay for critical years. His call for satyagraha against the 1919 Rowlatt Act, which I’ve written and published about, came from this room. This place, mundane and humble, holds huge importance for Indian history and has been visited by people like Martin Luther King, Jr, and Barak and Michelle Obama.
