A key attraction of the exhibition is the display of several editions of Gandhi\u2019s famous newspaper <em>Harijan<\/em>, offering visitors a glimpse into his thoughts and activism during critical periods of India\u2019s freedom struggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition, inaugurated by AMU Vice-Chancellor Professor Naima Khatun, includes rare editions of <em>Harijan<\/em> from the years 1939, 1940, and 1946. These issues provide an invaluable historical record of Gandhi\u2019s messages on social justice, non-violence, and national unity, which were central to the Indian independence movement. The newspaper served as a platform for Gandhi to communicate his views on key issues, including untouchability, the British Raj, and his philosophy of <em>ahimsa<\/em> (non-violence).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visitors to the exhibition expressed awe at seeing the original copies of <em>Harijan<\/em>, which played a crucial role in spreading Gandhi\u2019s principles of equality and justice. These editions are part of a broader display of over 600 books and documents, including Gandhi\u2019s collected works and other important writings, giving a comprehensive view of his life\u2019s work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>University Librarian Professor Nishat Fatima emphasized the significance of showcasing <em>Harijan<\/em> at the exhibition, noting that the newspaper not only represents Gandhi\u2019s journalistic efforts but also highlights his relentless fight against social evils and his vision for a just society. She mentioned that Gandhi used <em>Harijan<\/em> to advocate for the marginalized and to mobilize people for nonviolent resistance against colonial rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition, which also features Gandhi\u2019s handwritten letters and rare photographs, will remain open to the public until October 3. It offers an enriching experience for those interested in learning more about the life and work of the Father of the Nation, with <em>Harijan<\/em> being a focal point of the display.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aligarh, October 2 \u2013 As part of the celebrations for Mahatma Gandhi\u2019s 155th birth anniversary, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) organized an exhibition at the Maulana Azad Library featuring rare and&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3525,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[103],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3523","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-103"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bharatbnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3523","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bharatbnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bharatbnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bharatbnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bharatbnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3523"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bharatbnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3523\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3526,"href":"https:\/\/bharatbnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3523\/revisions\/3526"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bharatbnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3525"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bharatbnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3523"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bharatbnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3523"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bharatbnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3523"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
