There was no roof in the train compartment
Mahatma Gandhi has written in his autobiography that he was not willing to join Kumbh, but he was eager to meet Mahatma Munshi Ram in Gurukul and hence he went to Haridwar. In his autobiography, he has written that a large party of volunteers of Gokhale Society under the leadership of Pandit Hriday Nath Kunjru was going to Haridwar to serve in Kumbh. In this, Mahatma Gandhi was also requested to join. Mahatma Gandhi also joined it in his return from Rangoon. However, Mahatma Gandhi described his journey as very annoying. He wrote, “Sometimes there was no light in the coaches. We were punched in coaches made for goods or cattle. There was no roof in these coaches. “
Dirt sads in Kumbh
On reaching Kumbh, Mahatma Gandhi was very upset after seeing the dirt there. He saw that people did not hesitate to messy the paths and the banks of the Ganges.
