This is about the program organised today on the occasion of Gandhiji's 63d death anniversary in Gandhi Bhavan, Bengaluru.
The program featured the screening of two documentaries on Gandhiji namely,
- Gandhi-5:17 and
- Gandhi- The 20th century's prophet
and an interactive work by Arathi H.K, artist.
The first film(5:17 is the time of assassination of Gandhiji) is an account of Gandhiji's assassination by Shri Krishna Dev Madan, who was a program officer with AIR and was present on 30th January 1948, at the lawn of Birla House preparing to record Gandhiji's speech, before he was shot.
On 10th Nov 2010, a meeting was organised with people from all walks of life, where Sri Madan recollected the incident of that day, which was made into a movie.
The second film is a rare documentary on Bapu, made by A.K. Chettiar in 1940, after extensive research and travel over one lakh kilometers across four continents. All versions of this eighty-one minute film were thought to be lost after the British had banned the film, until a Hollywood-made version was uncovered recently.

I really appreciate Arathi's
effort in making the program a grand success. The way she managed to
take the responsibility to convey the message of audience regarding
peace, to anybody via postcard was impressive.
What a great idea to pay tribute to our Father of the Nation on his 63rd death anniversary!
