Individual Satyagraha and Bihar: During World War II, India was involved in a political conflict with Britain over the issue of independence. Fearing the danger of violence in this tense situation, Gandhiji cautiously launched an individual satyagraha in 1940. Special information about this has been shared.

Champaran Satyagraha and Anti-Indigo Cultivation Movement Champaran Satyagraha and Anti-Indigo Cultivation Movement can be easily understood through the posters on the walls and the figures of people. Apart from this, information about this is also being provided through visuals. It tells about Gandhiji's return to India in 1915 during the Indian freedom struggle. At the same time, on the advice of Gopal Krishna Gokhale, Gandhiji undertook a tour to better understand India and Indians. One view of Gandhiji's argument was the successful practice of law in South Africa, where he represented Indians in all walks of life. Be it rich, middle class or poor class. He was a respected member of the Durban Bar. It was only after this that he decided to bring his family there so that he could settle and make his home in the country. When Gandhiji was thrown off a train for 'whites only', Gandhiji never faced the Naxalism and discrimination he experienced in South Africa during his stay in London. On the night of June 7, 1893, he was thrown from the first class compartment of a train at the Pietermaritzburg railway station. Gandhiji was treated badly for traveling in a 'whites only' compartment despite having a valid ticket. Stories of indentured labor The Natal region of South Africa was a British colony. Over 1.5 lakh indentured laborers were brought here by the British during the 19th-20th century from India, a large number from Bihar. They were known as indentured labourers. You will also get information about Gandhiji's family's emphasis on tradition, faith and duty. As per the customs of his community, Gandhiji married Kasturba at the age of 13.
