The Birthplace of Satyagraha
The Mahatma Gandhi Digital Museum at Pietermaritzburg Station, South Africa is a poignant reminder of the infamous incident when a young lawyer was thrown out of a train compartment because of his COLOUR.
Aptly titled, “Birthplace of Satyagraha,” the museum offers a glimpse into the life and times of Mahatma Gandhi in South Africa.
A landmark installation at Pietermaritzburg Station is the 2-sided bust of Mahatma Gandhi, titled “Birth of Satyagraha.” Standing at pretty much the same spot where Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi fell as he was thrown out of the first-class compartment of the train, the 2-sided bust is a multi-dimensional representation of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi’s journey from a young barrister to the “Mahatma.”
It represents the Mahatma’s rude awakening to what was happening around him, the evil decadence of humanity and his defiance of it, his fight against the deep disease of colour prejudice. Deliberately cast in bronze, the bust also stands for the confluence of mankind with humanity; and a firm resolve to fight injustice.
The Immigration Museum, Melbourne essentially poses three queries - why do people leave their countries of birth; what is their experience in their new country; and, how do communities adapt to new arrivals?
The digital museum on Mahatma Gandhi honours the period of Gandhi’s stay in South Africa and his subsequent transformation. The museum features film footage, audio recordings and, photographs that brings to life a person and a period critical in India’s history.
The Champaran satyagraha was the first intersection of peasant unrest and the national movement.
It was the first Satyagraha movement inspired by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and a major revolt in the Indian Independence Movement that took place in 1917 in the Champaran district of Bihar.
On a hot April morning in 1917, Mahatma Gandhi arrived in Patna by train from Calcutta. It was his first visit to the city and he had come to champion the cause of indigo farmers in Champaran, spurred by persistent requests from an indigo agriculturist Rajkumar Shukla.
When Gandhi arrived in Champaran, he introduced a new, different kind of political activity. He demonstrated the hallmarks of his future political actions for the first time in India, particularly his ability to effectively mobilise people.
The Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi inaugurated an exhibition titled “Swachhagraha – Bapu Ko Karyanjali – Ek Abhiyan, Ek Pradarshani” to mark the 100 years of Mahatma Gandhi’s first experiment of Satyagraha in Champaran.
The iconic Sabarmati Ashram, which served as epicentre of the country's freedom struggle during Mahatma Gandhi stay there, celebrated its centenary on 17 June 2017.
Mahatma Gandhi lived in the ashram, situated on the banks of Sabarmati river here along with his wife Kasturba from 1917 and 1930 and also his launched his “Dandi March” from this ashram.
Remember, what the Mahatma said – “an eye for an eye; will make the whole world blind.”

Plants play an important role in the native Shinto religion. Ikebana ("living flowers") is the Japanese art of flower arrangement and is also known as Kadō ("way of flowers").
The ikebana titled SATYAGRAHA is installed at Constitution Hill, Johannesburg, South Africa and consists of a white material which portrays Gandhiji undertaking one of his numerous fasts and the world waiting with bated breath; and, the South African flower – PROTEA – signifying the birth of the political thought process.

The Birthplace of Satyagraha
Kasturba was Mahatma Gandhi wife and companion in his battle for equality - both in South Africa and later in India. Constantly see at her husband's side, Kasturba was referred to as "Ba" or Mother, because she served as mother of the numerous ashrams, that Mahatma Gandhi established, in India.
“Ba” or Mother, in India as in many other parts of the world, is the central figure in any household, the care giver, the source of sustenance and the cornerstone of any household.
For us, at Mahatma Gandhi Digital Museums, KASTURBA is a culinary experience for the mind which allows students and other visitors a peak into the culinary spread that Mahatma Gandhi allowed for himself. It also highlights the importance of a simple meal, made from local, widely available ingredients and which turn into a beautiful meal administered by a mother.
The King-Gandhi Wall, at the Howard University, Washington DC, is one of the most striking installation of the Mahatma Gandhi Digital Museums. It brings together, two of the greatest minds; champions of human rights and freedom of expressions; and, two people who, in their own way, fought against oppression and tyranny and who made the ultimate sacrifice for the ideals they believed in and lived by.
Dr. King espoused the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi while leading the Civil Disobedience Movement in the United States of America. The two never met, but such was the influence of the Mahatma on Dr, King, that he used the same principles of Peace, Truth and Ahimsa to unshackle his people from centuries of oppression.
The King Gandhi Wall is an attempt to empower students to see the invisible and create in them the aspiration to become the next King or Gandhi. The world today needs them.
