Sabarmati Ashram was very active in the freedom struggle under the leadership of Gandhi through non-violent movement. Starting the process of Civil Disobedience Movement with the Dandi March was also initiated from this ashram only. And it turned into the center for the promotion of non-violent existence and the principles such as the principles of truth and self-reliance. The ashram did not only influence the Indian independence movement but also served as a liberator of people’s souls to live a simple life and serve the nation.
