Bombay played a very prominent part in India’s struggle for freedom. Gandhiji was rightly proud of the patriotic and cosmopolitan citizens of Mumbai. Mani Bhavan was the focal point of Gandhiji’s Political activities and served as Gandhiji’s Bombay Headquarters for almost seventeen years i.e. from the year 1917 to 1934.  Gandhiji initiated many of his most important movements from Bombay, including the Non-cooperation, Swadeshi, Satyagraha, Khadi, and Khilafat Movements. Gandhiji’s association with the Charkha began in 1917, while he was staying at Mani Bhavan. Mani Bhavan is also closely associated with Gandhiji’s involvement in the Home Rule Movement.  The visitors from all over the world come to Mani Bhavan, to see the Room that Gandhiji occupied, its Picture Gallery, the Library Hall, and the Terrace where he was arrested on January 4, 1932. Our journey in this webinar will take us through the important events in Gandhiji’s life in Bombay.
