This article refutes claims that Phoenix Settlement, Gandhi's first ashram, is in decline and that Ela Gandhi is being 'used'. It highlights the settlement's active role in serving the local community through various programs, events, and resources.
Phoenix Settlement is not only a museum and tourist attraction but also a place of service and a living legacy to Gandhian ideas. File picture: Marilyn Bernard / Independent Media Ela Gandhi is not being ‘used’ as you seem to suggest, and Phoenix Settlement is far from being in a ‘sorry state’. Ms Gandhi is convening the celebration of 120 years of Phoenix Settlement , Gandhi’s first ashram.
Phoenix Settlement and the Gandhi Development Trust produce a monthly newsletter and an annual report. The annual report includes the annual audited financial statement that details the sources of income. They are available online and will require only a few moments of your time to conduct thorough research before writing an article that misrepresents and misleads. Better still why not conduct an impromptu visit to the Settlement and see for yourself.
Your ill-considered, insulting, and sarcastic characterisation of Ms Gandhi’s role, the Phoenix Settlement, the NIC anniversary celebration and its potential role offer little if any insight into how to grapple with the important questions of today.
