We went to visit the home where Mahatma (great soul) Gandhi lived when he was in Mumbai. Gandhi was the preeminent leader of the Indian independence movement during the British rule of India. And it was here in 1921 that he took a historic fast, precipitated by riots over the Prince of Wale's visit to Bombay (now known as Mumbai!) Among the many items on display we noted to letters one written to President Roosevelt and the other shown below written to Adolph Hitler urging them both to prevent war. (Needless to say Hitler was not persuaded!)
