Kochrab Ashram: Gandhi's First Site for Social Justice Before Sabarmati Ashram
Kochrab Ashram in Ahmedabad, established by Mahatma Gandhi in 1915, served as his first base for practicing social justice, equality, and self-reliance. Gandhi's invitation to a Dalit family to reside there sparked local backlash and social ostracism, leading him to relocate and establish Sabarmati Ashram in 1917. Kochrab Ashram, also known as Satyagrah Ashram, was where Gandhi began applying his principles of truth, non-violence, and simplicity, and it now functions as a museum preserving his legacy.
