Brief History of Sabarmati ashram
First of all
let me tell you that Sabarmati ashram is also known as some other names which
are satyagrah ashram, Harijan ashram, and Gandhi ashram. Originally Sabarmati
ashram was known as satyagrah which was established at Kocharab Bungalow of
jivanlal desai in 1915. He was friend of Gandhi. After some times Mahatma
Gandhi realized that this ashram is too small for doing their activity. Because
of that Mahatma Gandhi started to search new place where he can shift this
ashram. In 1917 Gandhi found a big space near to ban of Sabarmati River.
Mahatma Gandhi told that this is the right place where they can do their
activities regularly. So in 1917 Satyagrah ashram was relocated and it became
famous as Sabarmati ashram. This ashram is near to the ban of Sabarmati River
and because of this reason it is known as Sabarmati ashram. So It is the Brief History of Sabarmati
