New Delhi: A set of clothing items hand-spun by Mahatma Gandhi and other key artefacts linked with him and historic documents related to his stay at the Phoenix Settlement in South Africa have been handed over by a trust to India’s National Gandhi Museum<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Gandhi, then a young barrister, had arrived in South Africa in 1893 and departed in 1915. In the intervening period, he stayed for a long duration in Durban and had established the Phoenix Settlement in 1904.<\/p>\n

“Privileged to witness the handing over of artefacts and documents related to Mahatma Gandhi, by @PST_GDT, South Africa to National Gandhi Museum, New Delhi. Bapu’s life and message continue to inspire generations to come,” external affairs minister S Jaishankar wrote in a post on X on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The family of Mahatma Gandhi, particularly his son Manilal Gandhi<\/a>, resided in the settlement and continued to work in the printing press after his father’s departure and produced the Indian Opinion newspaper<\/a> and other publications for the Natal Indian Congress, officials said.
