Despite being the strong leader that Mahatma Gandhi was, he often faced criticism for his ideologies and policies, mostly from other prominent leaders. Subhash Chandra Bose was one among those. Both of them often had tiffs over each other's opinions. Bose and Gandhi also once had a tussle for the chair of Congress president. Congress' first session in Jharkhand's Ramgarh was a witness to it. Gandhi encouraged the women of Ramgarh to abolish practices like parda, untouchability, illiteracy and superstitions prevailing in the society and appealed to everyone to join the freedom movement. Certainly, the foundation of Quit India Movement had been laid. He appealed everyone to join the freedom struggle. Ramgarh is one among the 16 places where Gandhi's ashes were immersed. It has been 7 decades since his demise, but his memories and teachings have neither faded, nor forgotten by the people of India.
