Event Description : Motaben: Anasuya Sarabhai (1885-1972) – As Known by Ela Bhatt
Anasuyaben Sarabhai, fondly known as Motaben, holds a unique place in the history of India. She is best remembered for joining hands with Mahatma Gandhi in leading the historic strike of millworkers in Ahmedabad, which eventually led to the founding of an outstanding trade union of India – the Textile Labour Association (TLA) in 1920.
In this exhibition, Ela Bhatt, who first worked with Anasuyaben in 1955, throws light on her life and legacy. With rare photographs from the Sarabhai archives and text in Anasuyaben’s own words
