I stop by the museum I missed yesterday, but decide not to go in after all. I am being drawn to Gandi’s house whilst in Mumbai, called Mani Bhavan. I jump in a taxi and head over.<\/p>\n

Information<\/b>: Mani Bhavan stands out from the crowd, clearly preserved as it was in Gandis day. It is a free museum where donations are welcomed. Inside are various treasures from Gandis life, including a great photographic history, articles from India’s struggle for independence and letters to Hitler and Franklin D Roosevelt. <\/p>\n

I was able to learn a lot from this visit, in particular about Gandi’s spirit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
