Bhausaheb Shinde said that Mahatma Gandhi spent 25 years of his life abroad and when he returned to India, the famous thinker Gopalkrishna Gokhale asked him to travel all over the country for a year to know the real India.
“Gandhi travelled all over India and got to know the country in the true sense. He was interested in regional literature and regional languages,” he added. Bhagwat Wagh conducted the proceedings of the programme while Dean Dr Rekha Shelke proposed a vote of thanks.
