Explanation:
2018-2019 marks the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, arguably the most famous and influential Indian in recent times. Every year, five to six books are still written on Gandhiji and his legacy. Despite his death 70 years ago, his ideas remain relevant even today, and not just in an Indian context; his minimalistic approach to life and how to use natural resources, his austere lifestyle, self-discipline, non-violence are just a few of the concepts he espoused so passionately all his life.
Gandhiji’s Shimla connection during 1921-1946 is now being forgotten; he visited the summer capital 11 times during this period; amazingly, three times in 1931 in May July and August! Shimla, or Simla as it was then known, was the summer capital, and during the summer, the Viceroy and the entire government moved there. His first visit to Simla was with his wife Kasturba, in 1921, when apparently he went up in the famous Kalka-Simla toy train. Gandhiji met the then Governor General (or Viceroy as he was also called) Lord Reading in 1921, also Lord Willingdon in 1931, and Lord Wavell in 1945; he was also part of the famous Cripps Mission in Simla in 1946. His visits to Viceregal Lodge (now the Indian Institute of Advanced Study), being pulled in a rickshaw, as no vehicles were allowed, are a reminder of how things have changed in Shimla since those days.
