from Mani Bhavan that Gandhi initiated Civil Disobedience through: Satyagraha (Gandhi’s non
violent resistance); Khilafat (the Muslim branch of resistance that would join with Gandhi);
Swadeshi (awareness of violence and the boycott of abusive industries), and Khadi (self

garments).
Mani Bhavan has a story to tell as it housed Gandhi occasionally during the times when he grew
in stature and strength, from a queer type of an agitator to a world figure by successfully
introducing satyagraha (individual as well as mass) as a new and effective weapon to fight all
evil and injustice. It gives an idea of the dynamism of the great Mahatma

original setting, its picture gallery, the library

Delhi, the Empress of Indian cities has a fascinating history

The capital of India, Delhi has been the seat of power of a
number of dynasties – the Rajputs, the Afghans, the Turks
and the Mughals who continued their imperial line until the
British. Scattered over are surviving ruins, remnants of
mighty edifices, tombs of warriors and saints, which in
an impressive sense of magnificence are memorials not of a
single city but of supplanted nations.
