On Wednesday, Tushar Gandhi, the son of Arun Gandhi, whose father Mani Lal was the Mahatma's third son, said in the PIL he has challenged the government's Rs 1,200-crore Gandhi Ashram Memorial and Precinct Development Project because it goes against the wishes and philosophy of the Father of the Nation.
'Gandhi turned his life into a counter-intuitive experiment in old ideas like non-violence and swadeshi.' 'He offered numerous universal ideas that talk to the human condition.' 'His ability to take risks was outstanding,' says Sopan Joshi, explaining why the Mahatma's ideas are as relevant as ever.
The Gujarat High Court on Thursday rejected a plea filed by Mahatma Gandhi's great-grandson Tushar Gandhi against Sabarmati Ashram redevelopment project, after the state government assured that it will "not touch" three key attractions situated in the one-acre area.
