Gandhi museum

The Gandhi museum in Madurai is really neat. Apparently Gandhi first "donned his loincloth" in this city, so they had an excuse to make a museum for him here.

It is full of the history of the Indian occupation and revolution, along with many old photos along the way.

I learned that I did not know how big a role japan played in world war 2 to advance the Indian cause. I think I've only ever received a very peaceful (how the Indians were) and brutal (how the British were) view, so I'm glad this museum seemed to have a realistic, non-idyllic view of how things happened. Well, to a degree.

It also had the blood-stained cloth that Gandhi was wearing when he shot. And, among others, a letter Gandhi wrote to Hitler in 1939 badically asking him to not start a war.

So it was pretty cool!

Then we ate some palak paneer, ginger paneer, and garlic paneer at a favorite hole-in-the-wall restaurant of Adam's.



It was probably the best paneer I've ever had. And who's ever heard of "garlic" or "ginger" paneer anyways?
