What an honor to receive a personal tour of the National Gandhi Museum with its director, Mr Annamalai. The library of works by and about Gandhi was itself extraordinary, including 150 vols of G’s personal newspaper clippings about the struggle in South Africa and India.

Aside from photographs, the museum includes a collection of spinning wheels, personal effects (including Gandhi’s sandals and walking stick), and even a reconstruction of his heart beat (from old ekg records) that you can listen to.
