SUMMARY:Gandhi\, Amritsar and Darwen: A Journey of Rightful Protest

DESCRIPTION:To mark the 150th anniversary of Gandhi's birth we will be hi
 ghlighting his visit to Darwen\, Lancashire in 1931: Why did he make the
  visit to the cotton mills\, and how did it influence his famous satyagr
 aha movement. \n\n1919 changed Gandhi forever. The massacre at Jallianwa
 la fundamentally shook his faith in the British Empire and made him ques
 tion the moral basis of that rule. The series of mass nationalist protes
 t movements he launched thereafter indelibly changed India’s fortunes le
 ading to independence in 1947. The sharp questioning of legitimacy of co
 lonial rule and the rationale for his campaign won him friends and admir
 ers the world over\, including the textile workers in north-west England
  in the 1930s. Gandhi’s visit to Darven in 1931 made him a hero among th
 ose very people who had lost their jobs owing to his boycott of Manchest
 er textiles. How was that possible? Could enemies be friends? To underst
 and this we arrive at the very core of his campaign\, that of rightful p
 rotest\, something that both he and the Jallianwala Bagh protesters had 
 fought for.\n\nJoin us for our closing event of Jallianwala Bagh 1919: P
 unjab Under Siege.
