2. Mani Bhavan Mani Bhavan ( lit.  'Jewel House') is a museum and historical building dedicated to  Gandhi , situated at Laburnum Road in the Gamdevi precinct of  Mumbai . Mani Bhavan was the focal point of  Gandhi 's political activities in Mumbai between 1917 and 1934.

3. Gandhi’s Headquarters Mani Bhavan was Gandhi's Mumbai headquarters for about 17 years, from 1917 to 1934. The mansion belonged to Revashankar Jagjeevan Jhaveri , Gandhi's friend and host in Mumbai during this period. It was from Mani Bhavan that Gandhi initiated the  Non-Cooperation ,  Satyagraha ,  Swadeshi ,  Khadi  and  Khilafat  Movements. Gandhi's association with the  charkha  began in 1917, while he was staying at Mani Bhavan. Mani Bhavan is also closely associated with Gandhi's involvement in the  Home Rule Movement , as well as his decision to abstain from drinking cow's milk in order to protest the cruel and inhuman practice of  phookan  meted out to milch cattle common during that period.

4. Gandhi’s Museum And Library There is a library with a statue of the Mahatma where people offer tributes. A staircase dotted with Gandhi's pictures depicting his life leads visitors to the first floor which has a photo gallery with photographs from his childhood till his assassination, along with press clippings.The room that Gandhi used during his stay is on the second floor, where through a glass partition people can see two of his spinning wheels, a book and his bed on the floor. Right opposite that room is a hall where photographs and paintings of his lifetime are on display. The terrace he was arrested on, on 4 January 1932, also remains.

6. Glimpses of Gandhi In Mini Glimpses : . The Epic March 1913: Gandhi’s last  satyagraha  in South Africa, which began 100 years ago in 1913, was the culmination of a long struggle. About a third of the Indians in Natal province were indentured labourers working in mines, plantations and railways. They had been brought from India on a five-year contract, with the promise of land and rights at the end of the ‘indenture’. About 30,000 were ‘free’ Indians who had completed ‘indenture’ and who were living with their families. Another 5,000 were traders. Before the Boer War (1899-1902) there had been no restriction on Indians migrating from one province to another. But the Natal government started feeling that the existence of free Indians would undermine white hegemony and removed the voting rights of the few free Indians who had qualified.

7. .The Jallianwala Bagh Massacre,1919 The  Jallianwala Bagh massacre, also known as the Amritsar massacre, took place on 13 April 1919. A large crowd had gathered at the  Jallianwala Bagh  in  Amritsar ,  Punjab, British India , during the annual  Baishakhi  fair to protest against the  Rowlatt Act  and the arrest of pro-independence activists  Saifuddin Kitchlew  and  Satyapal . In response to the public gathering, the temporary  brigadier general   R. E. H. Dyer  surrounded the people with his Gurkha and Sikh infantry regiments of the  British Indian Army . [7] [8] [a]  The Jallianwala Bagh could only be exited on one side, as its other three sides were enclosed by buildings. After blocking the exit with his troops, Dyer ordered them to shoot at the crowd, continuing to fire even as the protestors tried to flee. The troops kept on firing until their ammunition was exhausted. [9]  Estimates of those killed vary from 379 to 1,500 or more people; [1]  over 1,200 others were injured, of whom 192 sustained serious injuries.

8. . Bonfire Of Foreign Cloth,1921 A large bonfire of foreign-made clothes was lit in Pune on October 7, 1905, as part of the Swadeshi movement. The bonfire was led by Veer Savarkar , a student at Fergusson College. The Swadeshi movement was a protest against the partition of Bengal, announced by Lord Curzon, the then Viceroy of India. Huge bonfires were lit across India on August 1, 1921, to commemorate the first death anniversary of Tilak . The bonfires were a show of solidarity with the freedom struggle. Some of the largest bonfires were lit in Ahmedabad and Bombay.  Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel burnt his barrister's wardrobe in the fire. The boycott movement was so successful that there was a sudden spike in demand for Indian clothes, which led to a shortage. 

9. .The Dandi March,1930 The Salt march, also known as the Salt Satyagraha,  Dandi March, and the  Dandi Satyagraha, was an act of  nonviolent   civil disobedience  in  colonial India , led by  Mahatma Gandhi . The 24-day march lasted from 12 March 1930 to 6 April 1930 as a  direct action  campaign of  tax resistance  and  nonviolent protest  against the  British salt monopoly . Another reason for this march was that the Civil Disobedience Movement needed a strong inauguration that would inspire more people to follow Gandhi's example. Gandhi started this march with 78 of his trusted volunteers. The march spanned 387 kilometres (240 mi), from  Sabarmati Ashram  to  Dandi , which was called  Navsari  at that time (now in the state of Gujarat). [1]  Growing numbers of Indians joined them along the way. When Gandhi broke the British Raj  salt laws  at 8:30 am on 6 April 1930, it sparked large-scale acts of civil disobedience against the salt laws by millions of Indians.

10. .The Quit India,1942: .The Quit India Movement was a movement launched at the Bombay session of the  All India Congress Committee  by  Mahatma Gandhi  on 8 August 1942, during  World War II , demanding an end to  British rule in India . .After the British failed to secure Indian support for the British war effort with the  Cripps Mission , Gandhi made a call to  Do or Die  in his  Quit India speech  delivered in Bombay on 8 August 1942 at the  Gowalia Tank Maidan . Viceroy  Linlithgow  described the movement as "by far the most serious rebellion since 1857"

11. .The World Bowed In Homegae,1948 On January 31,Gandhi’s body was laid on a sandal wood pyre at Rajghat,Delhi . From the pyre comes the message : Lead me from the Unreal to the Real from Darknessto Light,From Death to immortality.
