There were also large abstract canvasses depicting the values Gandhi brought to the world. This is the signature painting of the show called "A grain of salt" painted in oil and salt crystals and resin. It is inspired by the Salt March that marked the beginning of the civil disobedience movement which was a key turning point in the Non violent Indian revolution. Gandhi showed the world that moral rather than physical aggression can also bring about social change and justice. |
