The National Gandhi Museum has launched a special exhibition titled "Gandhi: The Journalist, Voice of Truth in Print" that highlighted Mahatma Gandhi's role as a writer and journalist.Mahatma Gandhi's granddaughter, Tara Gandhi Bhattacharjee, was also present at the event, proving the relevance of Gandhi’s ideals even today.The exhibition explores the lesser-known role of Gandhi’s as a writer and editor and shows how his pen emerged as a powerful instrument of resistance. The centerpiece of the exhibition was the letter written to Adolf Hitler in 1939, which is a great example of his remarkable act of moral courage, presented through an audio narration by Amitabh Bachchan.To refurbish the museum experience, the Gandhi Shop has also been revamped to emphasize self-reliance and craftsmanship. The newly opened café, operated by the NGO Savera, serves satvik food inspired by Gandhian ideology, which promotes sustainable livelihoods and reflects Gandhi's principles.Dr. Annamalai, the Director of the National Gandhi Museum, said, "Amitabh Bachchan introduces National Gandhi Museum and the special exhibition 'GANDHI: THE JOURNALIST Voice of Truth in Print' in his own voice."
