Mahatma Gandhi's letter urged youth to join the freedom struggle

During his visit to Jhansi in 1930, Mahatma Gandhi inspired a youth, Durga Prasad Sharma, to join the freedom struggle. The latter also wrote a letter to Bapu expressing his desire to join the movement. Gandhiji immediately responded to the letter and requested him to stage a demonstration in Bundelkhand, by bringing together energetic people who can contribute to the freedom struggle. The letter is still preserved by the daughter-in-law of Durga Prasad.
