Today is #PravasiBhartiyaDivas or #NRIDay.
We Morley Indians strongly believe ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ (‘The world is one Family’) and though we are settled in UK, we are still connected to our roots.
We reciprocate all wishes and warmth received from Indians across the globe and congratulate each one of you for your selfless service and integrity.
It is observed to mark the contribution of the overseas Indian community towards the development of India. You must know that this day commemorates the return of Mahatma Gandhi ji from South Africa to Mumbai on January 9, 1915.
Gandhiji lived in South Africa for 21 years with his wife, Kasturba ji. He had gained fame and success as a defender of Indians’ rights in South Africa. The seeds of Satyagraha were sown during that time.
At the request of Gopal Krishna Gokhale ji, Gandhi ji returned to India and he joined the Indian National Congress. He was introduced to Indian issues, politics and the Indian people primarily by Gokhale ji who mentored him to lead the Freedom Movement.
