Namaste!
I went with my friend from New Zealand and four kids to Mahatma Ghandi's memorial. The kids were not really happy about it but after arriving they had a great day. We did lot's of things and also visit the multi media exhibition.
The last steps before Ghandi was assassinated!
People often come and ask your child to be photograhed with them.
Ghandi encouraged Indian's to know the skill of weaving their own clothes from thread they themselves spun on a charkha.
In these boxes you could find the names of thousands of people following Gandhi on the "Salt march" where they marched 388 km(241 miles) to make salt themselves.He proved that sea salt belonged to all and was not just a British commodity. This campaign was one of Ghandi's most successful at upsetting British hold on India; Britain responded by imprisoning over 60,000 people.
I can really recommend to see the movie Gandhi by Richard Attenborough. My son 10 years old saw it with his friend and they did enjoy it a lot.
