Those who killed the Mahatama were not only afraid of his ghost but also of anyone who thought and dreamt.
The exhibition was an expression of anger against Gandhi’s killing, he said. The exhibition was inaugurated by the well-known scholar, Dr. G. N. Devy, and Dr. Kalankumar Chakrabarty presided.
The exhibition can be viewed on the White Rose Facebook page as well as on its website.
