Gandhi’s former Sabarmati home remained a sanctuary of calm amid Trump’s visit
The irony of Donald Trump visiting Mahatma Gandhi’s sacred space could not have been more starkly depicted than in the US president’s remarks in the guest book at Ahmedabad’s Sabarmati Ashram. In his comment yesterday (Feb. 24), Trump merely thanked Modi for his friendship while entirely forgetting Gandhi himself. The gaffe, if one may call it so, hits home harder in comparison to what former US president Barack Obama wrote at the Raj Ghat, Gandhi’s memorial in Delhi, in January 2015.
