Remembering Mahatma Gandhi

On January 30, 1948, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi) was shot dead. He was on his way to his evening prayer meeting at Birla Mandir in New Delhi. He was 78 years old.

Flower Silliman was a student at Lady Irwin College, New Delhi, during the mid-1940s. She was part of the choir that sang during Gandhiji's prayer meetings in Birla Mandir.

In this podcast Flower shares her memories of Gandhiji.

In our previous podcast Flower spoke to us growing up in India as part of a tight-knit Baghdadi Jewish community.
