💨 Abstract

On Gandhi Jayanti, Puttur (Karnataka) reminisces about Mahatma Gandhi's 1934 speech, a historical event that locals cherish. The platform where Gandhi spoke was threatened for a bus stand, but was saved by activists. Gandhi encouraged locals and Dalit residents to support the freedom movement and dig a well to address water scarcity, which still stands as a symbol of his visit.
