Sevagram — Gandhi’s village

1936–48 — From a mud-hut ashram near Wardha, at the rail junction of India, Gandhi runs constructive work — spinning, sanitation, basic education. The village is his answer to the question the cities keep asking: what is swaraj for?
This is one scene of Chapter 9 — Quit India — and the Famine in Indian Independence & Partition, 1905–1948.
