GANDHI QUIZ

Gandhi Smriti and Darshan Samiti

Gandhi Smriti and Darshan Samiti (GSDS) was formed in September 1984 by the merger of

Gandhi Darshan at Rajghat and Gaodhi Smriti, at 5, Tees January Marg as an autonomous body,

and is functioning under the constructive advice and financial support from the Department of

Culture, Ministry of Culture, Government of India. The Prime Minister of India is its

Chairperson and it has a nominated body of senior Gandhians and representatives of various

government departments to guide it in its activities. The basic aim and objective of the Samiti is

to propagate the life, mission and thought of Mahatma Gandhi through various socio-educational

and cultural programmes. It has two campuses.

Gandhi Smriti, housed in the Old Birla House on 5, Tees January Marg, New Delhi, is the

sacred place where Mahatma Gandhi's epic life ended in January 30,1948. Mahatma Gandhi had

lived in this house from September 9, 1947 to January 30,1948. Thus, the hallowed-house

treasures many memories of the last 144 days of his life. The Old Birla House was acquired by

the Government of India in 1971 and was converted into a National Memorial of the Father of

the Nation and was opened to the public on August 15,1973. The preserves include the room

where Gandhiji lived and the prayer ground where mass congregation used to be held and where

Gandhiji was felled by the assassin's bullets. The building and the landscape have been preserved

as they were then.

On display in the Museum are photographs, sculptures, paintings, frescos, inscriptions on

rocks and relics pertaining to the years Gandhiji spent here. The meagre personal effects of

Gandhiji too are carefully preserved. One could also be witness to modern computing

technology, which relives the Gandhian legacy in the "Eternal (Shashwat Gandhi) Multimedia

Exhibitions" recently launched in Gandhi Smriti.

A larger than life statue of Mahatma Gandhi, with a boy and a girl holding a dove in their

hands standing on either side, emerging out of the globe, symbolising his universal concern for

the poor and the deprived, welcomes the visitor at the main entrance of the Gandhi Smriti. It is

the work of the renowned sculptor Sri Ram Sutar. The legend at the base of the sculpture says,

"My Life is My Message".

A Martyr's Column stands at the spot where Gandhi was assassinated, commemorating the

Martyrdom of Mahatma Gandhi as the embodiment of all the sufferings and sacrifices that

characterised the long struggle for India's Freedom.

PREFACE

Every epoch of history has seen individuals who have made a decisive contribution, and but for

whom the history of the period, not only in their own country or region, but sometimes on a

global scale, would not have been the same.

Mahatma Gandhi is regarded as one such individual. Though it may still be too early to

capture the profound impact Gandhiji had on our world, his place in the history of his time

cannot be narrated, much less assessed, in any comprehensive manner without taking into

account his own identity, character, vision and values.

The teaching and practice of Mahatma Gandhi show us the alternative path to strengthen all

new democracies and develop healthy norms of public life. He did not leave any set of doctine of

Gandhism behind him, but his life reflects his philosophy, which is so basic that it appeals to

every human heart. 'My Life Is My Message' is the eternal message of the Mahatma to humanity.

Taking this message to the younger generation is a formidable challenge before us. It was

this very generation for whom Albert Einstein had voiced his concern when he said, 'Generations

to come it may be, will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon

this earth.' "Gandhi Quiz' is our humble attempt to make knowing and understanding that

extraordinary legend possible for this generation in simple and interesting way.

The 'Gandhi Quiz' received a further boost when in an inspring gesture Shri R.

Venkataraman, the former President of India, contributed a trophy, which now goes by the name

of 'President R. Venkataraman Rolling Trophy', which was instituted by the Gandhi Smriti and

Darshan Samiti in the year 2002.

We are happy to present the second edition of the 'Gandhi Quiz' : A Way to Know Mahatma

Gandhi prepared by two of my young colleagues Shashwati Jhalani and Samiksha Mudgal.

While it may not be an exhaustive work covering all aspects of the Epic Life of Gandhiji, we

hope it will arouse the curiosity of the children and youth to know the man we revere as the

Father of the Nation.

I express my deep appreciation of our Programme Unit in making this project a fascinating

learning experience for the participants. We would welcome suggestions and cooperation of the

readers to improve this book further

International Centre of

Gandhian Studies and Research

Gandhi Darshan is situated adjacent to the Mahatma Gandhi Samadhi at Rajghat, in

sprawling thirty-six acre campus which came into existence in 1969 to mark the centenary of

Mahatma Gandhi. Divided into six huge pavilions spread across the campus, it sought to bring

alive the eternal message of the Mahatma "My Life is My Message".

This dream came true when in 1994, during the 125th Birth Anniversary of Gandhiji, the

campus was converted into an "International Centre of Gandhian Studies and Research"

(ICGSR). The Centre offers research and guidance facilities to scholars from India and abroad,

documentation of various peace initiatives and seeks to provide various inputs on Gandhi and

allied subjects at one place. At present the "International Centre of Gandhian Studies and

Research" in Gandhi Darshan provides a comprehensive exhibition on Gandhi, conference halls,

camping facilities for major national and international meets, a library, children's corner, photo

unit and a publications division. The centre also publishes a Journal, Anasakti.

Activities at a Glance

Gandhi Smriti and Darshan Samiti undertakes several activities for various categories of

people with major focus on children, youth and women. Chief among them are regular charkha

spinning classes, taking Gandhi to Schools, youth camps, dialogues and conferences, women

empowerment programmes, Gandhi Media Literacy Programme, Gandhi Summer School and

academic programmes with universities and educational institutions. For the purpose of the

propagation of Gandhian literature, there is a publications wing which has produced over 60

titles. In 1996 a mobile book exhibition unit was also introduced which organises exhibition and

sale of books everyday in educational institutions and public places. Regular and periodic

exhibitions on various issues are also organised both in Delhi and the rest of India.
