| "India lives in her seven hundred thousand villages."—Mahatma Gandhi In 1930, Mohandas Gandhi set out on a 241-mile-long march from his ashram to the Arabian Sea in protest of the British ban on salt collection in colonial India. The conversations he had with the people he met in the villages along the way were instrumental in building popular support for an India free of British rule. Seventy-five years later, photographer Rena Effendi retraces Gandhi's route with a camera and audio recorder in hand, bringing us sights and sounds of an India where traces of Gandhi's spirit can still be felt. | ||
