Play all audios:
Gandhi almost mocked the Congress as an elite English-speaking club of the urban class. In the eighth chapter of his book The Discovery of India, Jawaharlal Nehru offers us glimpses of the
process called Gandhi. Nehru recollects his own experiences of working in slums and hovels of industrial workers, and visiting coal mines where womenfolk come back from work gasping for
breath. If we read the life story of Sardar Patel, the same thing would unveil, perhaps in a more concrete form. Champaran, Kheda and Bardoli provided the life blood for the Congress to
become a successful national movement.
