Gandhians in Chennai - some events
The old Gandhian of Chennai often fighting the mighty single handedly, Sri. P.N. Srinivasan is planning a meeting to celebrate the centenary of Satyagraha at the Marina Beach at the Thilagar Thidal (this place is located behind the current subway near Kannagi Statue, a small cement platform where Bal Gangadhara Tilak had once addressed a public gathering - recognition and restoration is one of the causes that PNS fights for) on the 10th of April 2007 evening between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. If you are interested to meet some old (and a few not so old) Gandhians of Chennai please do make it.
I also wanted to mention two other events of Gandhian institutions in Chennai that I am aware of (and have tried to participate at some point):
1. The weekly book review that is held at the Gandhi Study Centre - this happens every wednesday evening between 6 - 8 p.m. Gandhi Study Centre is the one institution everyone knows thanks to the dynamic leadership of Sri. Annamalai and Smt. Prema Annamalai. All kinds of books are reviewed and on an average there are about 25 - 30 participants.
2. Gandhians meet at the Gandhi Mandapam every month on the last Saturday evening. This programme is again organized by Sri. PNS. I have been told that about 20 people turn up.
